dcmqrdb (dcmqrscp------eFilm)

[santosh]

Hi team,

I am unable to retrieve the dicom images even though i get a list of patient when i query the server ...i am running the dcmqrscp and scu is eFilm..
I run the server using the command line

dcmqrscp.exe -v -c D:\temp\dcmqrscp.cfg -dhl

the configuration file is as follows..

please let me know the problem with this.....
one more thing i can retrive the images using localhost configuration...


Thanks in advance

[Marco Eichelberg]

The move request is not well-formed. Most of the keys absolutely do not belong there. For a STUDY level move in Study Root Q/R you must only submit the Q/R level and the Study Instance UID, nothing else.

[santosh]

Hi Marco,

I am not framing the move request, as eFilm acts as my SCU i directly click the tab "retrieve" while running the dcmqrscp..

Thanks

[nielkk]

I am also having a similar problem while querying. I can able to get the patient list, but not getting the images when trying to retrieve a particular patient images. I am using dcmqrscp[dcmtk3.5.4] and Efilm. I saw many cases in net that dcmqrscp is not sending the images. Like to get some expert opinions.

Like to know what is the minimal configuration to get the images.

Pls help me guys.

Thanks.

[santosh]

You need to do the following configuration while setting up the EFILM->dcmqrscp.

First change the dcmqrscp.cfg,
add the following details in the HostTable BEGIN section

MergeEfilm = (EFILM, QUERYSYSTEM, 4006)
any = MergeEfilm

EFILM = AE title of the efilm.
QUERYSYSTEM = Hostname of the system from where you are running the EFILM.
Note : You need to map this host name with the ip address were you are running the dcmqrscp.exe in the hosts file (C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts)

4006 = Port number on which EFILM is listening for incoming dicom images.

Now at the end of the dcmqrscp.cfg file you will find the AETable BEGIN
section add the following details in this section

DCMTK_QR D:\svn-main\build\DicomData RW (1000, 1024mb) any

DCMTK_QR = AE-Title of the dcmqrscp.exe you want to assign.

D:\svn-main\build\DicomData: Path were your index.dat and dicom data is placed.

Now start the server using the following command line
cmqrscp.exe -v -d -vv --prefer-lossless --propose-lossless -c D:\main\conf\dcmqrscp.cfg 5678

As my dicom images are stored in the Jpeg-Lossless format i use the --propose-lossless and --prefer-lossless option you can ignore these options if not required.

Now your server is listening for incoming queries on 5678 port.

Configuring the efilm

Create a dicom node in the efilm query and retrieve the studies from the database. This works for me, else let me know the detailed error written by the dcmqrscp.exe.

Thanks

Thanks santosh. Let me try. Will post the details here.

@santosh

Thanks.

I was using the dcmtk code. When i run the dcmqrscp project in release mode its working fine for me. But there was some problem while running in debug mode.
