I'll start by stating, I'm a developer, so this is a bit of reaching for me with a pacs server. There are a number of things with dicom files where I just don't know what things SHOULD be.
That being said, let me explain my problem. I'm hoping someone can help me diagnose, and if lucky, resolve my issue. I'm running a study where sites are uploading cath lab images. The images are anonymized and stored for review. The issue I'm hitting is that the images aren't all visible. It seems like some of them aren't loading.
I've run this process in the past and never encountered a problem. My setup hasn't changed either so I don't know why I'm suddenly having an issue now.
I'm suspecting two potential issues but they're kind of guesses at this moment.
1) Caching. I don't know if that's the case, but it feels like caching where the images aren't being properly extracted and cached, but that being said, I'd expect things to be cached eventually instead of remaining broken.
2) Encoding. Maybe it's a weird encoding issue? Though why do some images load and others don't? They're all coming from the same site. I'd expect them to have the same encoding.
Either way, I'm not able to properly test any of these theories, because I don't know where to start. I'm hoping for a little input. If I can get a decent diagnoses of the problem, then I should be able to start looking for some solutions at least.
