Overview

This application acts as a Storage SCU to send DICOM objects to a Storage SCP. It loads composite DICOM Object(s) from specified DICOM file(s) or a directory structure and sends them to the specified remote Application Entity. If a directory is specified, all DICOM objects in files under that directory and its sub-directories are sent. If <port> is not specified, DICOM default port 104 is assumed. If no <host> is specified, localhost is assumed.

Usage

dcmsnd [Options] <aet>[@<host>[:<port>]] <file>|<directory>...

Example

dcmsnd DCMRCV@localhost:11112 image.dcm

Opens an association to a local server listening on port 11112 with the called application entity title DCMRCV. Sends the DICOM file image.dcm to the server.
