Hi all,

I need sample code / example in how to connect to pacs sustem and test teh connection

your fast reply is highly appreciated

I would recommend using the DCMSCU Class
Here is a simplified pseudocode

Quote:

DcmSCU *SCU = new DcmSCU (this);
OFList<OFString> XferSyntaxes;

if (SCU != NULL)
{
SCU ->setPeerAETitle(PeerAETitle);
SCU ->setPeerHostName(PeerHostName);
SCU ->setPeerPort(PeerPortNumber);
// Add Preferred Outgoing Transfer Syntaxes
XferSyntaxes.push_back (UID_LittleEndianImplicitTransferSyntax);
XferSyntaxes.push_back(UID_LittleEndianExplicitTransferSyntax);
.....
.....
// Add Presentation Context for each required SOP Class UID
SCU ->addPresentationContext(SOPClassUID, XferSyntaxes);
.....
.....
status = SCU ->initNetwork();
status=SCU->negotiateAssociation();
const T_ASC_PresentationContextID presID = SCU->findPresentationContextID(AbstractSyntax,TransferSyntax);
//Send Request on a presentation context ID
...
...

//Close Association
SCU->closeAssociation();
}

I face a problem while use DCMTK which is

/Users/abduljaleelmalik/full-dcmtk/include/dcmtk/ofstd/ofstream.h:80:0 /Users/abduljaleelmalik/full-dcmtk/include/dcmtk/ofstd/ofstream.h:80:2: error: #error DCMTK needs stringstream or strstream type

#define INCLUDE_CSTDIO
#include "dcmtk/ofstd/ofstdinc.h"
#include <dcmtk/dcmimgle/dcmimage.h>
#include <dcmtk/config/osconfig.h>
#include <dcmtk/dcmimgle/dcmimage.h>

how can I override that

omarelgazzar · **Posted:** Wed, 2011-01-26, 15:33

First of all, you should include osconfig.h at the top of all other included files. So, your code should look like

#define INCLUDE_CSTDIO
#include <dcmtk/config/osconfig.h>
...
...

Hi,

try to add "-DHAVE_CONFIG_H" to your compiler flags, otherwise including osconfig.h does actually nothing.

Best regards,
Michael

how can I do that in xcode , there're no direct compiler flag

there're
OpenMP linker flags
other linker flags
symbol ordering flags
warning linker flag

I tried add it to other linker flags , but the same error appeared

I tried also to add

#undef verifty
#define INCLUDE_CSTDIO
#include <dcmtk/config/osconfig.h>
#include <dcmtk/dcmimgle/dcmimage.h>

but the error /DCMTK_BINARY/include/dcmtk/ofstd/ofstream.h:80:0 /DCMTK_BINARY/include/dcmtk/ofstd/ofstream.h:80:2: error: #error DCMTK needs stringstream or strstream type

still appear in ofstream.h

Hi,

It is not a Linker flag, it is a compiler flag. First, every .cc file is compiled into an object file, then in the end, they are linked together into applications. You can recognize an application if one of the objects (and only one) contains a main() function.

I do not have a mac here, but there will surely be change to change the compile flags, not only the linker flags. Just right-click on file to be compiled, and look for compiler or build flags. Maybe again, google may help.

This is not a dcmtk-related problem.

Best regards,
Michael

I build dcmtk succesfuly my problem in using it
the error appear while usiing it

Right, and I said you would to do (add a compile flag); the rest is now up to you: learning how to do that with your compiler (Xcode/gcc).

it compiled corectly ,

I need example to
-test the connection with pacs I missed omarelgazar reply
- read local dicom file and convert it to buffer data

any suggestion please

Michael Onken · **Posted:** Thu, 2011-01-27, 13:51

Hi,

Omar's code snippet was just fine. If you need a full example, look might look at the demo SCU from the CTK project.

Good luck,

thanks alot ,
what about read local dcm file , I need to read the image data as buffer

any suggestion please

Hi,

have a look at the dcmdata online documentation.

final question, and sorry for my naive questions, I am in my first steps in imaging

how to get the following information using DCMTK
bitsPerComponent;
bitsPerPixel;
bytesPerRow;

from the DCM file

Michael Onken · **Posted:** Thu, 2011-01-27, 16:43

You should read about that in part 3 of the DICOM standard to find out which DICOM attributes (tags) you really need. The ones you quoted do not exist directly.

So read about the Image Pixel Module, especially look for the attributes Bts Allocated, Stored, and High Bit. Start with the module description in section C.7.6.3. Bits Allocated is how many bits do you have reserved for one pixel component, Bits Stored is how many bits you actually use from those, and High Bit says in which bit from Bits Allocated you start from, i.e. how the Bits Stored are aligned within Bits Allocated. The number of components per pixel is in the attribute Samples per Pixel.

If you look into the dcmdata example i have directed you to, just exchange DCM_PatientData with the attributes you are interested in and use a number access method, e.g. (according to the example)

Code:

Uint16 bitsAlloc = 0;
fileformat.getDataset()->findAndGetUint16(DCM_BitsAllocated, bitsAlloc);
// now bitsAlloc contains the content of attribute Bits Allocated

For some examples and figures of various Bits allocated/stored/high bit settings, look into part, read Annex D, especially look at the nice little images in D.2

Best regards,
Michael

hi Micheal, I'm also a beginner of dicom. can i have your email or google talk. I have some questions need your help. i am using xcode to make an application to retrieve pacs server data. but I'm really stuck here. your help will be best appreciated.

Michael Onken · **Posted:** Mon, 2011-03-21, 11:07

Hi,

no sorry I cannot provide you with private help since I have work to do. Any questions about DCMTK can be asked in the forum and will also help other people having similar problems. If you have serious problems to be solved and you need commercial support, you may send us an email to dicom at offis de.

Best regards,
Michael

hi micheal
I only have some small problems, and i just want the answers instantly, since my project open day is this Thursday. So if you can help me, I will appreciate it very much. It won't cost long time of you...

now i get a problem. I wanna make a button linked to pacs server.

Quote:

SCU = new DcmSCU (this);

if (SCU != NULL)
{
SCU ->setPeerAETitle(PeerAETitle);
SCU ->setPeerHostName(PeerHostName);
SCU ->setPeerPort(PeerPortNumber);
SCU ->addPresentationContexts(PreferredOutgoingSyntax);
status = SCU ->initNetwork();
status=SCU->negotiateAssociation();
SCU->findPresentationContext(..,..)
//Send Request
...
...

//Close Association
SCU->closeAssociation();
}

Is this code working?
Another question, how to request to pacs server then?
I hope you can reply asap, thanks a million!

Mitmal · **Posted:** Mon, 2011-05-16, 20:04

Aww the moon198831 answer should be intersting for me too !!
I want to create the same button but this code doesn't work...

So I try with this code, from ctkDICOMDemoSCUMain.cpp :

Code:

int Import::connection(QString qipAdress, QString qport, QString qaet){
  DcmSCU scu;
  OFString host(qipAdress.toAscii());
  scu.setPeerHostName(host);
  unsigned int port = atoi(qport.toAscii());
  scu.setPeerPort(port);
  OFString verificationSOP = UID_VerificationSOPClass;
  OFList<OFString> ts;
  ts.push_back(UID_LittleEndianExplicitTransferSyntax);
  ts.push_back(UID_BigEndianExplicitTransferSyntax);
  ts.push_back(UID_LittleEndianImplicitTransferSyntax);
  scu.addPresentationContext(verificationSOP, ts);
  OFString peerAET = qaet.toAscii();
  if (peerAET != "")
  {
    scu.setPeerAETitle(peerAET);
  }
  OFCondition result = scu.initNetwork();
  if (result.bad())
  {
    std::cerr << "Error setting up SCU: " << result.text() << "\n";
    return 2;
  }
  
  // Negotiate association
  result = scu.negotiateAssociation();
  if (result.bad())
  {
    std::cerr << "Error negotiating association: " << result.text() << "\n";
    return 2;
  }
  
  // Issue ECHO request and let scu find presentation context itself (0)
  result = scu.sendECHORequest(0);
  if (result.bad())
  {
    std::cerr << "Error issuing ECHO request or received rejecting response: " << result.text() << "\n";
    return 2;
  }
  std::cout << "Successfully sent DICOM Echo to host " << host << " on port " << port << "\n";
  return 0;
}

with this import :

dcmnet

But there is a error message appeared :
Erreur 1 error LNK2019: symbole externe non résolu "public: virtual __thiscall DcmSCU::~DcmSCU(void)" (??1DcmSCU@@UAE@XZ) référencé dans la fonction "public: static int __cdecl Import::connection(class QString,class QString,class QString)" (?connection@Import@@SAHVQString@@00@Z) C:\Users\Nicolas\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\Importation\Importation\Import.obj Importation

Mitmal · **Posted:** Mon, 2011-05-23, 10:24

No idea ???

Michael Onken · **Posted:** Mon, 2011-05-23, 16:50

Moon: Looking at your code:

- why are you using the copy constructor? It is defined private in DcmSCU, i.e. shall/can not be used. Just say "SCU = new DcmSCU()";
- For adding the presentation context: A presentation context always contains a SOP class and one or more transfer syntaxes. Thus you could do the following (Verification Service with all 3 uncompressed transfer syntaxes):

Code:

OFList<OFString> ts; 
ts.push_back(UID_LittleEndianExplicitTransferSyntax);
ts.push_back(UID_BigEndianExplicitTransferSyntax);
ts.push_back(UID_LittleEndianImplicitTransferSyntax);
  SCU.addPresentationContext(UID_VerificationSOPClass, ts);

The rest looks OK without testing it (but hey, just try it!).

------------8<-------------------8<------------------

Mitmal: DcmSCU actually has a virtual destructor which is also public (implementation does some memory cleanups).

Code:

virtual ~DcmSCU();

Are you sure you actually link your binary with the dcmnet library?

Please give me code snippet to retrieve image from Pacs server using DcmSCU class.

Quick reply would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Try to use DIMSE_moveUser

if you can use findrequest you have all info to use moveUser to retrieve imae from PACS

Michael Onken · **Posted:** Wed, 2011-05-25, 17:14

Hi,

here is code that uses DcmSCU and does the following:

Negotiating Verification (echo), as well as FIND (query) and MOVE (retrieve) SOP Classes with the PACS. Then, send ECHO, send FIND and retrieve all studies that were found within the FIND step by sending a MOVE for each study. Then, release the association.

Best regards,
Michael

Hi,

while I m trying to call the method "sendMOVERequest" it says no such method found. Can you please help me out, what I am missing. I am having my latest dcmtk 3.6.0 version.

Thanks in advance

with regards
Manoj Kumar D

Michael Onken · **Posted:** Tue, 2011-07-26, 11:54

Hi,

sendMOVERequest is only in 3.6.1, it was introduced 2011.04.28 and 3.6.1 was released 2011.02.01.

All of this information can be found in the CHANGES file. The latest public version is always accessible on the git web interface. Click on "tree" next to one of the files and then on the CHANGES file.

I recommend you to use the lastest snapshot.

You should add this comment on the wiki page. It took me neraly the whole day for finding this forum thread because i used the last stable release and ask my what i did wrong with the "MOVEResponses moveResponses;" and where is it.

But on this way - i wanna say thank you for the example and the dcmtk code. :-)

Thank you

Hi,
I am developing the Dicom app for iPhone. I tried DCMTestSCU with storescp but I am getting

I: Send C-MOVE Request
W: Status is 0xc001 (unknown)
W: Will not wait for further C-MOVE responses

The code snippet is this:

Code:

storescp -d 11112

result = scu.sendMOVERequest(presID, "MOVESCP", &req, &moveResponses);

The "APPLICATIONTITLE" in storescp is "MOVESCP"

Please help me out I m a beginner for PACS Server.

Thanx in advance.

Michael Onken · **Posted:** Mon, 2011-08-15, 09:14

Hi,

The server sends a status that the client (your SCU) does not understand. What kind of PACS server are you using? I do not know (and therefore DcmSCU) the error code and the default behaviour of DcmSCU is then to not expect any MOVE responses. You might change this behaviour by overwriting the function DcmSCU::handleMOVEResponse() with your own class derived from DcmSCU.

Best regards,
Michael
