movescu filter/include raw data

[mparamas]

Hi,

Is it possible to skip or include raw data (i.e., pull everything) when pulling a study from PACS using movescu when PACS sends all datasets? PACSes like conquest has the ability to serve appropriate data sets based on AET, but I would like to know if movescu has the ability. Getting everything and deleting raw data when applicable is not very efficient. Should I findscu them first by IMAGE level query and them use movescu? It would be handy if movescu could handle this as an option in one command.

Please let me know. Thanks.

take a look at movescu.cc: acceptSubAssoc method, there is ASC_acceptContextsWithPreferredTransferSyntaxes call which accepts ANY known for dcmtk storage SOP class, you can replace dcmAllStorageSOPClassUIDs with own list of sop classes and remote pacs will manage to push only your specific objects.

Yes. Or, you could use Modalities in Study or SOP Classes in Study (if supported) to query on STUDY level. Or, you could use Modality to query on SERIES level ...

It would be handy if movescu could handle this as an option in one command.

No, since this would be too specific in my opinion.
