findscu worklist query result: (Pending: WarningUnsupportedOptionalKeys)

[new2009]

Hi,

I was using findscu (version 3.6.0) and got the below result from the DCMtk Worklist SCP (wlmscpfs.exe):

Code: Select all

W: ---------------------------
W: Find Response: 1 (Pending: WarningUnsupportedOptionalKeys)

What does the "Pending" means?

And what is that "WarningUnsupportedOptionalKeys"?

Here is my worklist query dicom file:

The answer to your question can be found in the DICOM standard, of course. The short answer is: "pending" means that further responses are following, and "warning unsupported optional keys" means that some optional keys that are not supported by the SCP have been removed from the responses.
