Pull Series/Images from server according to date?

[jorgezavalab]

if a patient is approved to follow a radiotherapy treatment, the treatment is split in different sessions. Every session of radiotherapy is given in a different day (i.e. date), and every session will generate a different serie of images (i.e. image modality RTIMAGE).

e.g. Patient X was approved for a radiotherapy planning and the radiation dose will be given in 3 sessions. So, we will have the following series of images:

Session 1: Serie1; 10 RTIMAGES; Date1. (oldest)
Session 2: Serie2; 10 RTIMAGES; Date2. (old)
Session 3: Serie3; 10 RTIMAGES; Date3. (newest)

Every Serie is composed of 10 RTIMAGES acquired at date X.

My problem:
I don’t know the way to pull series according to date. i.e. if a patient has followed three sessions, I want to be able to pull only the serie with a specific date (e.g. serie3 date 3) from the server (i.e. AEC: Application Enttity Called), and not the whole bunch of series (i.e. Serie1, 2 and 3).

I am using DCMTK from the command line, and I manage to pull all the RTIMAGE series modality but I cannot choose a specific serie’s date because at the series level I don’t know how to Query/Retrieve a serie acquisition date/creation date.

Also, at the series level I don’t know how to Query/Retrieve all the images associated to one specific serie. If this were possible, I would just Query/Retry the creation date of an image at the Image Level and pull only images with a specific date (e.g. 0008,0022: Acquisition date or 0008,0023: ContentDate).

Difficulties:

All the RTI images have the same:
- 0008,0020 : StudyDate
- 0008,0012 Instance Creation Date
- 0020,0011: Series Number
- 0020,0011 : Instance Number

Any Idea on how to pull series/images according to date?

Hi,

Series Date would be the best tag to query for, but unfortunately it's not in your data. Study Date should stay the same over all Series, so that's fine.

The only way I see is to query down to IMAGE level and look at Acquisition Date. Then, if you find the date you are interested in, download the related Series.

Best,
Michael

Hello Michael,

Thanks for your answer.

I read the DICOM conformance statement our server, and sadly it does not support querying for series date on any level. So, I need to stick to your suggestion.

If I query for the acquisition date on the image level, then I will not have problems getting the images of a specific day. However, Is it possible to query for the acquisition date directly from the Study or Series Level??

The only information that I will have available of a patient is his patientID, and I don't know how to go down at the image level. So far, I have this approach:

Info: patientID : 1234567

1) Get patient study UID (0020,000D):

findscu -aet DCMTKjorge -aec SERVER 10.XXX.17.XXX 51XXX -S -k PatientID=123456 -k QueryRetrieveLevel=STUDY -k 0020,000D

2) Get Series Instances UIDs (0020,000E) of the RTIMAGE modality

findscu -aet DCMTKjorge -aec SERVER 10.XXX.17.XXX 51XXX -S -k PatientID=123456 -k QueryRetrieveLevel=SERIES -k "0020,000D=1.2.840.XXXXX.2.278.3.XXXXX.482.XXXXXX.67X" -k "0008,0060=RTIMAGE" -k 0020,000E

3) Missing. How can I get the image SOP instance UID (0008,0018) to query later for the image acquisition date? I don't know, If it is the best tag to look for later on the image level, but it is the one working for me.
I understand that to query on the Image Level, I need the INSTANCE UID number ( ref: https://www.medicalconnections.co.uk/kb ... arameters/).

4) Finally, query acquisition date (0008,0022) on image level, but to get the SOPInstanceUID (0008,0018), I went to the software interface and look for this value manually. I don't want to look for this value manually because it impedes me to implement an automatic solution.

findscu -v -aet DCMTKjorge -aec SERVER 10.XXX.17.XXX 51XX -S -k "0008,0052=IMAGE" -k "0008,0018=1.2.246.352.62.1.XXXXX49.1202410XXXX4000XXXX" -k 0008,0022

Hi,

for the IMAGE level query something like this should do:

findscu -aet DCMTKjorge -aec SERVER 10.XXX.17.XXX 51XXX -S -k PatientID=123456 -k QueryRetrieveLevel=IMAGE -k "0020,000D=1.2.840.XXXXX.2.278.3.XXXXX.482.XXXXXX.67X" -k "0008,0060=RTIMAGE" -k 0020,000E="a.b.c.d" -k SOPInstanceUID -k AcquisitionDate

where a.b.c.d is the Series Instance UID that your SERIES level query found. As you can see, you can already ask for Acquisition Date together with the SOP Instance UID. I hope your server supports that tag for search at all.

Best,
Michael

[jorgezavalab]

It does work, thank you!!

[Michael Onken]

Great!
