Retrive Image failure from DCMQRDB

[santosh]

hi..

I am querying the database with the DICOM Eye tool, while running the SCP using the command dcmqrscp.exe -v -c dcmqrscp1.cfg 8600..

I am unable to retrieve the images even though it gives the number of images present in the series..it prints the following error..

Assertion failed: !(pos >= this->size()), file ..\..\ofstd\include\dcmtk/ofstd/ofstring.h, line 375

what might be the cause, thanks in advance..

This issue has already been solved. See e.g. here.

I made the changes, now its not crashing but at the same time i am not getting the output. It says

Requesting Sub-Association

and stops here..

any idea regarding this ????

thanks..

Hi,

Is there any more output if you add options -vv and -d?

Is the move target correctly specified in the client's request (known AETitle) and also in dcmqrdb's config file (translation to IP adress/port)?

Is there a timeout message after a certain amount of time? Try option "-dhl" do disable DNS lookup.

Regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,
Here are the details..
I ran the command
dcmqrscp.exe -v -vv -d -c dcmqrscp1.cfg 8600
and the command
>movescu.exe -v -P -aec OFFIS -aem MEDSPHERE -dhl localhost 8600 D:\temp\query\wlistqry1.dcm in another terminal..

at the dcmqrscp these are last few lines its printing

The move request is not well-formed. You cannot do a patient-level move (which is not a good idea in the real world anyway) without including the Patient ID in the move request dataset.

Hi..
These are the few changes i have done for the movescu command,
movescu.exe -v -S -aec OFFIS -aem MEDSPHERE -dhl localhost 8600 D:\temp\query\wlistqry1.dcm

everything is fine at the command prompt but the images are not moved to the new destination..OFFIS contains some 6 .dcm files and MEDSPHERE is empty..nothing is copied to MEDSPHERE after i execute the movescu command..the output is like this..

at the scp terminal..

And when using the DicomEye as SCU its still giving

anyways first let me get it through MOVESCU then will try to retrieve with
DicomEye

Thanks

[santosh]

After trying for another hour here is wht i am getting....

movescu -v --study --port 9876 --move DicomEye --call OFFIS localhost 8600 D:\temp\query\wlistqry1.dcm

gives the following o/p

my query file contains the above displayed items..

The output across the SCP run through the command
dcmqrscp.exe -vv -d -c dcmqrscp.cfg -dhl 8600
is

these are the last 4 lines..it stops at Constructing Associate RQ PDU..
what may be the reason ????

Thanks..I will keep on trying till it works..

Now i am getting the following at the dcmqrscp terminal...

Requesting Sub-Association

What might be the reason..

[santosh]

Thanks guys
i am able to retrieve the images using movescu now..but its copying all the images in the present directory..the command is..

movescu -v -d --study --port 8600 -aem DicomEye --call OFFIS localhost 104 D:\temp\query\query1.dcm

..the AE table entries are..

OFFIS D:\temp\OFFIS RW (6, 1024mb) ANY
Azuriah D:\temp\Azuriah RW (6, 1024mb) ANY
MEDSPHERE D:\temp\MEDSPHERE RW (200, 1024mb) ANY
DicomEye D:\temp\DicomEye RW (200, 1024mb) ANY

it should store all the retrieved images in this D:\temp\DicomEye folder right..

thanks

[santosh]

Thanks a lot,

I have done it using DicomEye..I am running the dcmqrscp and queering the database using the DicomEye tool..its retrieving successfully..
