PACS Server using DCMTK

#1 Post by Walid »

Well I'm a newbie in the PACS area and I want to develop a PACS server for my graduation project so please help me to understand this :
I faced many problems, I tried to use DCMTK and succeded in running and testing some of it's exe ( storescu, storescp, movescu .. ) but i do face a problem on how to integrate it to develop a full pacs server to be
clear my points are :
1- How to integrate DCMTK to work with MYSQL and form a full pacs
server.
2- How to integrate a viewer like Image magic and slicer to work with
the DCMTK.
3- I intend to use java as my web programming language as I intend to
make it web enabled interface, but DCMTK is c++ .
4- I really need help to fully understand a pacs server and how to
build it using DCMTK.

Simply I want to build a PACS server using DCMTK please help.

You can use ctn PACS, is a full PACS server that use mysql

in this link you have the instructions to install it http://cdmedicpacsweb.sourceforge.net/

and then you can use the dcmtk to attack de pacs for query or retrieve studies

In summary, if you intend to develop your PACS server in Java, then DCMTK is probably not the tool that you need. While it is possible to interface from Java to C++ using JNI, the interface would necessarly become very complex, and you would still be required to do major C++ programming to connect the DCMTK-based PACS frontend (essentially dcmqrscp) to the SQL database used as backend.
