Connect With Ultrasound Machine

[Nguyễn Văn Phúc]

I'm new to .NET DICOM Oak Fellow. I've found a way to read images from DICOM files and now I want my machine can take pictures directly from the ultrasound machine. Is there any way I can do this through Oak Fellow DICOM libraries not?

Thank you!

Yes, this is possible with fo-DICOM.

I've verified connectivity with GE Ultrasound equipment.  IIRC there's a sample listener that comes with fo-DICOM.  I'm not on my usual PC at the moment but if you need more of a pointer just write back and I'll dig up the appropriate sample later :)

Great! I will wait for Your sample.

Thank Ian Yates,

In the Examples folder you'll find the C-Store SCP example.

It's a console app.

In the OnReceiveAssocationRequest method you'll want to change the guard condition (line 60) - or just remove it entirely.

I had that very same sample code hooked up to a GE Ultrasound machine a couple of months ago.

Make sure you allow port 104 in your firewall.  To simplify things, just use an IP address in the Ultrasound machine rather than trying to let it resolve DNS names (depending on how well the network is set up it can be hit & miss).

Let us know how you go :)

I will try to connect with an ultrasound machine from example.

Thank you so much.

I try with C-Store SCP example but this is error: "Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted".

Please help me.

Thank.

Do you have other DICOM software running on your machine that's using port 104 already?

One easy way to find out is to open Task Manager, go to the Performance tab, then hit "Open Resource Monitor".  Once in the resource manager, change to the "Network" tab, expand the "Listening Ports" panel.  Sort by the Port column.  See what process is using 104....

Thank Ian Yates so much. I will test with Ultrasound Machine and I hope this is successfull.
