Using getscu and movescu dcm4che3

[pma...@hggm.es]

Hi everyone;

I am really amateur with DICOM. I am trying to use getscu and movescu and I cannot do queries for PatientRoot retrieve level. The doc says:

-L <PATIENT|STUDY|SERIES|IMAGE|FRAME>    specifies retrieve level. Use
                                          STUDY for PatientRoot,
                                          StudyRoot, PatientStudyOnly, and
                                          IMAGE for CompositeInstanceRoot
                                          by default

But when I try to look for PatientID I get the error: Missing Attribute (0020,000D) what is StudyUID.

Do I always have to specify the StudyID?!

I already tried using -L PATIENT but obviously did not work.

When I specify the StudyID I can get the DICOM object with 'getscu' but I cannot with 'movescu' with 'dcmqrsp' and 'storescp'  running, WHY?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Pedro,

Did you ever find a solution?  Previously I have used the dcmqr command as below and it works fine.  I just started using dcm4che3 and the below command with movescu gives the same error.

dcmqr DCM4...@10.10.10.10:11112 -cmove DCM4CHEE2 -qStudyDate=20150101-20150201

./movescu -c DCM4...@10.10.10.10:11112 --dest DCM4CHEE2 -m StudyDate=20150101-20150201

Here is my horrible work around.

I exported all study_iuid from the study table in the pacsdb database and saved them in a .sh file. Then added movescu -c DCM4...@10.10.10.10:11112 --dest DCM4CHEE2 -m StudyInstanceUID= to the front of each line.  Its not elegant but only took a few minutes to put together and less time than it would have taken to figure out what was wrong with the original command.

Cheers
