Storage SCP

Description

DICOM Storage SCP. Provides a DICOM storage service to receive DICOM objects from remote DICOM applications. Typically these objects are images received from modalities. You can also configure what DICOM SOP classes are accepted by the StoreScp service using the #AcceptedImageSOPClasses and #AcceptedOtherSOPClasses attributes.

Attributes

CalledAETitles

List of accepted called AE titles, separated by (backslash). For example, DCM4CHEE\DCM4CHEE2.

CallingAETitles

List of accepted calling AE titles, separated by (backslash). ANY = accept any.

WarnForCoercedAETitles

List of the AE titles for the Storage SCUs for which a warning status, B000, is returned if data elements were coerced. Separate multiple values by (backslash). NONE = no calling AE titles.

AcceptMissingPatientID

Accept storage of objects/images without patient ID

AcceptMissingPatientName

Accept storage of objects/images without patient name

AcceptPatientID

Regular Expression for valid Patient IDs. Patient IDs which does not match the specified pattern are ignored and replaced by a Patient ID generated according attribute "GeneratePatientID".

IgnorePatientID

Regular Expression for invalid Patient IDs. Patient IDs which match the specified pattern are ignored and replaced by a Patient ID generated according attribute #GeneratePatientID.

IgnorePatientIDAETitles

List of the AE titles for the Storage SCUs for which the Patient ID in received objects is ignored. Usually used together with attribute #GeneratePatientID to generate a new Patient ID for such objects. Separate multiple values by (backslash). NONE = no calling AE titles.

GeneratePatientID

Generate a patient ID from a hash of the patient name and birth date and/or study instance uid, if

the received object has no patient ID or
the patient ID does not match the pattern defined in "AcceptPatientID" or
it match the pattern defined in "IgnorePatientID" or
the object is received from an AE listed in "IgnorePatientIDAETitles".

Use ### and/or $$$ as a placeholder for the decimal hash value of patient name and/or study instance uid.
For example, PACS-##########.
NONE = do not generate patient IDs. But, this means media creation will fail.

IssuerOfPatientIDRules

List of rules used to add the Issuer Of PatientID value if not contained in the received object, if the Patient ID matches the specified regular expression. Multiple rules are separated by new lines.
Format: regExpression:issuer
Example: ^PACS-\d*:DCM4CHEE
If no regular expression is specified, the issuer is added for all patient IDs.

StudyDateInFilePath

Use Study Date in received objects to structure directories of the storage file system. Otherwise - or if the received object does not contain a Study Date - the current date, when receiving the object, is used. (s.a. attributes #YearInFilePath, #MonthInFilePath, #DayInFilePath, #HourInFilePath)

YearInFilePath

Use the year of Study or receiving Date to structure directories of the storage file system.(s.a. attributes #StudyDateInFilePath, #MonthInFilePath, #DayInFilePath, #HourInFilePath)

MonthInFilePath

Use the year of Study or receiving Date to structure directories of the storage file system. (s.a. attributes #StudyDateInFilePath, #YearInFilePath, #DayInFilePath, #HourInFilePath)

DayInFilePath

Use the year of Study or receiving Date to structure directories of the storage file system. (s.a. attributes #StudyDateInFilePath, #YearInFilePath, #MonthInFilePath, #HourInFilePath)

HourInFilePath

Use the year of Study or receiving Date to structure directories of the storage file system. (s.a. attributes #StudyDateInFilePath, #YearInFilePath, #MonthInFilePath, #DayInFilePath)

Md5sum

Generates MD5 file check sum during storage and keep it in DB record

StoreDuplicatesIfDifferentMD5

Store a duplicate object if the MD5 sum of the new object differs from the MD5 sum of the existing file. If the MD5 sum does not match, the files may be corrupted.

StoreDuplicatesIfDifferentHost

Store duplicate objects if the existing files are NOT located on this host.

CompressionRules

List of image compression rules. Note that the value of the Compression Service#MaxConcurrentCodec attribute in the Compression Service also effects the on-the-fly compression and decompression during the store of images by the
StoreSCP service.
Format:condition!=valuecompression
 where
 condition—when to apply the compression rule. Separate
multiple condition!=value statements with a comma. The possible condition
values are:
 calling - called AE title. Apply the rule to the called AE titles listed as values.
 called - called AE title. Apply the rule to the calling AE titles listed as values.
 pmi - photometric interpretation.
 cuid - SOP Class UID. Apply the rule for the SOP Class UIDs listed as values.
 imgtype - type of image. Apply the rule to the image types listed as values, such as RGB.
 
 value—the value of the condition. Each condition can
have multiple values, separated by | (pipe).For example,
<code>calling!=SCU1</code>
 
 compression—the type of compression to apply to each condition!=value pair, separated by a space.
Possible values are:
 NONE - do not apply compression.
 JPLL - JPEG Lossless
 JLSL - JPEG-LS Lossless
 J2KR - JPEG 2000 Lossless

CheckPendingSeriesStoredInterval

Interval in days (#d), hours (#h) or minutes (#m) of
check for pending Series Stored Notifications, which were not emitted
caused by a crash of the Storage Service during an open association.
NEVER = disable check.

PendingSeriesStoredTimeout

Timeout in hours (#h) or minutes (#m) for
emission of Series Stored Notifications after an object of this Series,
before the emission of the Notification is triggered by the check for
pending Series Stored Notifications.

SerializeDBUpdate

objects in one association. May decreases Storage Performance!

UpdateDatabaseMaximumRetries

Maximum number of retries to update the database records
for new received objects, before a processing failure is returned to
