DICOMDIR created using dcmmkdir not working to open with EchoPAC

[himanshu.mistri]

Hello Forum,

I have created DICOMDIR using below command.

dcmmkdir -v -d +id EFSCAN/ +r -I -Pus -Pum +D TESTDIR

My EFSCAN Directory contains two Dicom files 0001 and 0002. With the above command,
I generated a DICOMDIR file.

Below is my dump of the DICOMDIR file.

Now I copy the PATIENT Directory and TESTDIR file into USB Drive and used this USB drive to import the Patient's Dicom files into EchoPac software, But it''s not working, While the same USB drive working fine for the MIcroDicom and Horos.

Any help in right direction will be appreciated.

The DICOM directory file MUST be named "DICOMDIR" and must be located in the root directory of the storage media. If the file on the USB stick is named "TESTDIR", then the stick will not be recognized as a DICOM storage medium.
