DcmThreadSCP

[martinrame]

Hi, I'm trying to understand how DcmThreadSCP works. I've updated an example based on DcmSCP by replacing DcmSCP class to DcmThreadSCP, it compiled and worked out of the box, by "worked" I mean it receives the images I send, but It looks like I cannot send two images simultaneously from two different modalities.

The Detailed description of this class says this:

Base class for implementing a DICOM Service Class Provider (SCP) that can serve as a worker in a thread pool, by offering functionality to run an association from an already accepted TCP/IP connection...

As it mentions a thead pool, how can I know how many threads are listening for associations?, is this quantity configurable?, is there a way to log the thread ID handling an association?.

P.S.: I've compiled it using dcmtk-3.6.1_20150629 on Mingw32 (Windows).

Regards,
Leonardo.

As far as I understood, the DcmThreadSCP is the base class for an SCP that can serve as a worker in a thread pool, i.e. it does not implement the pool. This is where DcmSCPPool comes into play...

The test program in "dcmnet/tests/tpool.cc" might serve as an example.

Thank you very much Jörg for this answer, I'll try to implement it in my own SCP.
