dcm4che3 storescp - can't choose preferred Transfer Syntax

[Burninator03]

I'm trying to setup a script using storescp as a listener to temporarily store files and grab info from DICOM metadata.

dcm4chepath='/opt/dcm4chetools/bin'
storage='/opt/dcm4chee/server/default/archive/preroute/working/AE_ARGATE'
logfile='/opt/scripts/preroute/log/server.log'


sh $dcm4chepath/storescp --filepath '{00080050}/{0020000D}/{00080018}.dcm' --directory $storage -b AE_ARGATE:11131 >> $logfile

Normally this works well, but when GE's Centricity PACS does a C-Store, I receive the following:

What I can't figure out is why does it choose "2.16.840.1.113709.1.2.2" as the transfer syntax instead of the others offered in Presentation Context 25?  It looks like this transfer syntax is a private one used by GE to transfer images between their proprietary systems?

Is there anything I can do to "Prefer Implicit VR Little Endian" or something similar?

Hi.

Did you find a solution for this?

Hi

You could try to edit sop-classes.properties, there you can tell for each sop class which TS are allowed.
