OpenREM Intended Usage

[N Haaster]

Hi, 

I'm new to using openrem.... 

I installed the 1.0.0.b2 windows deployment... 

I've got openrem running via my IIS server using FastCGI and a Python Virtual Environment.. 

What we tried to do:

I'd like to get some studies (DoseReports) originating from modalities from our PACS... 

Under Config => Dicom Networking we set the following.. 

1. Remote Query retreive node (Our PACS)

2. DICOM SCP Store settings (The Orthanc server that is used with openREM)

Then via imports we do a Query Remote Server. 

This returns a set of studies... 

- In the Task Administration i can see the Query being executed succesfully. 

- Via previous queries i can see the query contains a couple of studies with modality CT... 

- When clicking open the study i see all UID's with modality CT have a notification 

"RDSR present all not SR Series ignored..." 

It says SR downloaded for the UID that has modality SR 

(Then i get a copy button which seems to copy the studies into orthanc). 

Altough i can see the studies in orthanc they dont seem to show up in openREM (it keeps saying 0 studies). 

In the VENV on the server i found the following script (openrem_rsdr.py).

When i download the SR dicom file from Orthanc and feed it into the openrem_rsdr.py script the studie becomes visible in openrem...

I'm not sure if this is how things are supposed to be done as it now seems i need to pull the SR from a study in orthanc and feed it into a script manually to make it available in openREM. 

But it feels like i'm missing something. 

Other question:

Now we tried to pull some studies into openrem using the script openrem_rsdr.py 

This works for soms SR's in the Category Mammography.. 

Altough the SR's that come with CT's from SIEMENS appliances give me an error 
In the traceback dataset.py gives an error. 

Dataset Object has no attribute ContentSequence. 

So in short 2 questions... 

1. I would like some help getting studies in openREM using the intended way. 

2. I need some Feedback on the ContentSequence error where getting for siemens dosereports (I think i can get a fake SR report from a modality if needed). 

Thanks for your attention and support in advance.

Welcome to the OpenREM community!

For your first issue, it sounds like the Lua script isn't being executed - can you check this section of the docs to make sure you have set it up correctly? Orthanc should be running the Lua file which then executes the OpenREM import routines.

Also check the Orthanc logs - there is a reference to where these are in the last section of the install docs.

For the import error, I would like to get hold of two things:

1. The full traceback log message
2. An example CT RDSR - ideally of a QA "patient" so there are no patient information issues - that you have tested fails on import.

Kind regards

Ed

I've added the LUA script to the orthanc config... 

As my store CSP now used the dicom port of the orthanc server i changed this to 104.

It seems to connect both the remote and the SCP node... 

I'll try to test things today with some studytypes we know worked via the file import py script.

I've asked our radiology department to provide me with a dicom dose report from one of the siemens modalities. 

When i have some more information i'll update the thread.. 

Thanks for the quick response so far.

Ok, 

I changed the store SCP from AE: Orthanc to AE:OpenREM and modified the port to 104. 

The new AE title had to be added to our PACS system. 

Now my queries move properly into openREM.. 

Also the siemens studies that errored on the py script now appear properly in openREM..

Thanks for the quick support.
