Hi,

Is their any way to set the RetrieveAETitle and RetrieveLocationUID in a KOS object. I tried it with the mkkos tool as follow:

mkkos --title DCM-113000 -s CurrentRequestedProcedureEvidenceSequence/ReferencedSeriesSequence/RetrieveAETitle=aet -o kos.dcm /path/to/study

mkkos --title DCM-113000 -s 0040A375/00081115/00080054=aet -o kos.dcm /path/to/study

mkkos --title DCM-113000 -s RetrieveAETitle=aet -o kos.dcm /path/to/study

none of them work. I want to make this work in java to use (copy) the source code of the mkkos tool and add additional attributes. I tried to just add attributes to the ReferencesSeriesSequence but nothing outputs a valid KOS object.

Any tips?

I also need to do the exact same thing (add the RetrieveAETitle and RetrieveLocationUID to the KOS object using the mkkos utility). I also tried the same options you show below but similarly had no success ... did you ever figure out how to accomplish this with mkkos or did you find a different utility to do this?

Thanks,

Terry

I copied the MkKOS source code to a custom MkKOS class. I modified the getOrAddItem method as following:

private Attributes getOrAddItem(Sequence seq, int tag, String value) {
    for (Attributes item : seq)
        if (value.equals(item.getString(tag)))
            return item;
    
    Attributes item = new Attributes(2);
    item.setString(tag, VR.UI, value);
    if (tag == Tag.SeriesInstanceUID) {
        item.setString(Tag.RetrieveAETitle, VR.AE, "aetitle");
        item.setString(Tag.RetrieveLocationUID, VR.UI, "location");
    }
    seq.add(item);
    return item;
}
