send dcm from EFilm and PatientsName is broken

[afletdinov]

Hi!

I'm use EFilm version 1.8.3
And storescp run as:

Code: Select all

storescp -v -aet IT319K1 -od /opt/dicom/spool 104

Original patient name in dcm:

Code: Select all

<element tag="0010,0010" vr="PN" vm="1" len="14" name="PatientsName">KALJUJIN D.A.</element>

Send original dcm file from EFilm to storescp.
As a result the file contains:

Code: Select all

<element tag="0010,0010" vr="PN" vm="1" len="32" name="PatientsName">!!!!CCE940D83B367332B64F3F45EE^</element>

Why?

Hi,

?! I am quite hopeful that this is not a problem in DCMTK

You can use the option "--bit-preserving" to store the file exactly as it is received over the network. But I guess that will not solve your problem.

Maybe this is a character set problem? Use dcmdump and look at the character set specified in the received file.

By the way, in DICOM family name and first name are denoted by
"family name^first name", e. g. "Bond^James". So your example string "KALJUJIN D.A." is treated completely as the family name.

Run storescp with the --bit-preserving option and repeat the test. If the patient name is still mangled, then this happens inside EFilm (which is what I would expect here). Why EFilm does that should probably be asked to the EFilm developers.

Thank you very much for your help!

I have understood.
This field "PatientsName" is encrypted.
