How to set dicom file namer in XNAT 1.5?

[Shuhua Wu]

In Dicom Server, there is place in DicomServer.xml to set custom dicom
file namer. I don't know where it is in XNAT 1.5.

Thanks,
Shuhua

It's not configurable right now. That'll be a pretty easy addition and I happen to be working on adjacent code right now. I'll get you a patch soon (maybe as late as Monday).

Noticed two format of file names in our recent uploaded sessions:

1039.MR.PHD_024.3.212.20110602.153921.19yy5k9.dcm

.MR..7.298.2008.11.24.11.07.52.203125.37423663.IMA

Shuhua,

That probably reflects two different methods of sending files.

The first looks like the default file namer, which now gets used primarily for files uploaded via DICOM C-STORE. (It's also used for files received via MIRC-style HTTP, but that's rare.)

The second looks like it's not a name we generated. Did this come in via the upload applet? The upload applet now (as of version 1.5) preserves the names of uploaded files.

Kevin,

Yes, the first was uploaded via DiCOM C-STORE. and second was via
uploader. Is it possible to name files in same format (using a same
file namer) after we apply the patch you'll send?

Thanks,
Shuhua

I've added custom file namer support in commit 510 at https://bitbucket.org/karchie/xdat_release .

This uses a new config file, WEB-INF/conf/dicom-importer.properties , and the property dicom.file.namer should be set to the fully qualified class name of your DicomFileNamer implementation. (Note that the DicomFileNamer interface now lives in the dicom-xnat-util subproject of dicom-xnat. The interface is unchanged, so your old code should work.)

Also in this changeset, the upload applet uses the file namer (custom or default) by adding the query parameter rename=true to its upload requests. (I've pushed that change to the UploadAssistant repository as well).

Please let me know if any of this is unclear or if you have trouble getting it to work.
