Problems when retrieving from Centricity 3.0

  • When upgrading our GE PACS Centricity 2.1 to version 3.0 we recognized a strange behaviour of k-PACS.
    Searching for patients works fine but when trying to retrieve certain studies k-PACS suddenly finds a lot of sequences in the study.
    Output of Process-log:


    Then k-PACS tries to retrieve the 2515 sequences which takes a lot of time and always seems to be the same image. The mentioned study only contains one image.
    When trying to retrieve CT-studies the same thing happens and from the process-log one can conclude that k-PACS tries ti receive the scout image 2000 times.
    Any clue what happens here. The problem exists for the rather old version 1.0 as well as for 1.6 versions on a Windows XP SP2 machine.

  • Hi Georg,
    Sorry for the late response.
    I can not really figure out, what is causing the problem. Seems to be on GE site though.
    The PACS obviously reports to many sequences when querying on series level.


    You can turn off the query on series level in K-PACS which might solve the problem:
    Change the settings:
    NoFindBeforeMove to '1'
    DicomMoveOnSeriesLevel to '0'


    in the k-pacs.ini file.


    Regards,

  • Hi Andreas


    your suggestios worked!! :D
    Our problem appeared after upgrading GE PACS CEntricity from 2.1 to 3.0.
    Now we can again use k-PACS for retrieving studies to a local machine.
    Thanks for the answer.
