files corrupted or not after a C-MOVE

[tom]

hello,

i use dvtk to test the integrity of a files transfered with a C-MOVE fonction based on movescu versus the original file.
they are 3 differences between files.

original:
tag (0002,0000), value "150"
tag (0002,0012), value "100.118.116.2005.2.1"
tag (0002,0013), value ""

file transfered
tag (0002,0000), value "182"
tag (0002,0012), value "1.2.276.0.7230010.3.0.3.5.4"
tag (0002,0013), value "OFFIS_DCMTK_354"

for the tag (0002,0012) and (0002,0013) i think than the difference is normal.

but for the tag (0002,0000) i dont undrestand why the values are different. It is a bug in my implementation , in movescu or is it normal ?

thank

Hi Tom,

The information in the tags of group 0002 (0002,xxxx) are belonging to the so-called meta-header in DICOM which is re-written by the tool(kit) that is writing a DICOM file to disk. Moreover, all attributes of group 0002 are not even transferred via network (in the network group 0002 is used for the so-called command set) - so the receiving application does not even have the chance to re-produce those attributes.

Regards,
Michael
