difference between AE and AET

[tom]

Hello,

What is the difference between Application Entity and Application Entity Title?

And why with findscu and movesu i juste can set AET ?

Thank

An Application Entity Title (AET) is the title (a symbolic name) of an Application Entity. In a DICOM network, each system/service is identified by such a unique identifier, e.g. WORKSTATION or ARCHIVE. It makes no sense to specified the Application Entity in findscu or movescu because the AET is used for this purpose. See DICOM standard for details ...
