We would like to inform you on our a upcoming training event, about DVTk being actively used as a basis for IHE-RO validation test tools, our visit to SIIM 2018 this year and thank the dvtk contributors that supported by acquiring 2018a definition files this year. Would you like to know more?Read more
We would like to inform you via this news update on the DVTK initiative. As a community we are planning to make further steps regarding the DVTk open source DICOM tool set at www.dvtk.org this year. Read more
The dvtk.org Web site is now the location for the latest downloads, defect tracking details, and forums on using DVTk. Interested individuals and companies may join the project through the Web site. A weekly project telephone conference coordinates the activities of the development team.
DVTk makes it quick and easy to perform repeatable, detailed testing of DICOM interfaces. In the following example, we posit a stress test to run against a storage SCP service. Because this is a stress test, the test application must hit the SCP simultaneously from multiple SCUs, so that multiple threads will be needed. Writing multithreaded Visual Basic (VB) test applications is a breeze with the new HLI library. In fact, it looks quite similar to a DICOMScript, with high-level abstractions for creating and releasing associations and for sending and receiving messages. This example using the HLI requires DVTk alpha version 2.1.007.006 or greater , which can be downloaded from dvtk.org after registering as a Plus User. Plus Users have access to early releases and draft documents, such as the draft version of the HLI API help file.
As CharlesB points out, the tag keys carry no semantic value descriptions - they're just numbers as specified in the Dicom standard. Manufacturers often add custom fields, but since the meaning of these values is not explicit in the dicoms, they have to tell you what the values mean. It's usually frustrating to deal with this custom data. Please don't do this unless you have a good reason.
