DICOM SR and import converters

    Hi! in a old version of Conquest (14) I used these commands in dicom.ini


    Code
    ExportConverters = 2ExportConverter0 = dgate.exe "+'"'+"--convert_to_jpg:%f,1024,"+ALLTRIM(PATH_DICOM)+"\"+"%b.jpg,//0ExportModality1 = SRExportConverter1 = dsr2xml.exe %f "+ALLTRIM(PATH_DICOM)+"misure.xml


    upgrading to a new version (16 or 17) Marcel suggested me to use import converters instead of export converters, so I changed the first lines in this way:


    Code
    ImportConverters = 2

    ImportConverter0 = save to "+ALLTRIM(PATH_DICOM)+"\temp.dcm

    ImportConverter1 = process with dgate.exe "+'"'+"--convert_to_jpg:"+ALLTRIM(PATH_DICOM)+"\temp.dcm,1024,"+ALLTRIM(PATH_DICOM)+"\"+ALLTRIM(PATHSRVDCM)+",//0"+'"'+";destroy


    Now I need to use also SR modality, so how would I change the previous ExportConverter1 into ImportConverter2 to make it work?


    PS ALLTRIM(PATH_DICOM) and ALLTRIM(PATHSRVDCM) are 2 variables that contains the path of the folder to store images.


    Let me know....and regards!

    Hi,


    try e.g.:


    ImportConverter0 = save to tempfile.dcm
    ImportConverter1 = system dgate.exe --convert_to_jpg:tempfile.dcm,1024,tempfile.jpg,//0
    ImportConverter2 = system dsr2xml.exe tempfile.dcm misure.xml
    ImportConverter3 = rm tempfile.dcm
    ImportConverter4 = destroy


    Marcel

    Hi Marcel!


    I don't understand....


    before SR I have
    ImportConverters = 2
    ImportConverter0 = save to "+ALLTRIM(PATH_DICOM)+"\temp.dcm
    ImportConverter1 = process with dgate.exe "+'"'+"--convert_to_jpg:"+ALLTRIM(PATH_DICOM)+"\temp.dcm,1024,"+ALLTRIM(PATH_DICOM)+"\"+ALLTRIM(PATHSRVDCM)+",//0"+'"'+";destroy


    so the import convertes should change from 2 to 3, and is not sufficient to add this line??:
    ImportModality2 = SR
    ImportConverter2 = dsr2xml.exe %f "+ALLTRIM(PATH_DICOM)+"misure.xml


    I don't understand your example:


    ImportConverter0 = save to tempfile.dcm
    ImportConverter1 = system dgate.exe --convert_to_jpg:tempfile.dcm,1024,tempfile.jpg,//0
    ImportConverter2 = system dsr2xml.exe tempfile.dcm misure.xml (I NEED ONLY THIS????)
    ImportConverter3 = rm tempfile.dcm
    ImportConverter4 = destroy

    Hi,


    ImportConverters is not necessary, but filtration may still be applied, e.g.,


    ImportModality2 = SR
    ImportConverter0 = save to tempfile.dcm
    ImportConverter1 = system dgate.exe --convert_to_jpg:tempfile.dcm,1024,tempfile.jpg,//0
    ImportConverter2 = system dsr2xml.exe tempfile.dcm misure.xml
    ImportConverter3 = rm tempfile.dcm
    ImportConverter4 = destroy


    They will just be called one by one in order. But if you want to set ImportConverters it should now be set to 5.


    Marcel

    what I don't understand is that the SR file is received at the end of the study (in US machines)
    so, I can get the single dicom image with


    Code
    ImportConverter0 = save to "+ALLTRIM(PATH_DICOM)+"\temp.dcmImportConverter1 = process with dgate.exe "+'"'+"--convert_to_jpg:"+ALLTRIM(PATH_DICOM)+"\temp.dcm,1024,"+ALLTRIM(PATH_DICOM)+"\"+ALLTRIM(PATHSRVDCM)+",//0"+'"'+";destroy


    and then only the SR with


    Code
    ImportModality2 = SRImportConverter2 = dsr2xml.exe %f "+ALLTRIM(PATH_DICOM)+"misure.xml


    with export converters all worked in this sequence:

    Code
    ExportConverters = 2

    ExportConverter0 = dgate.exe "+'"'+"--convert_to_jpg:%f,1024,"+ALLTRIM(PATH_DICOM)+"\"+"%b.jpg,//0

    ExportModality1 = SR

    ExportConverter1 = dsr2xml.exe %f "+ALLTRIM(PATH_DICOM)+"misure.xml


    another question: where I can find the last dsr2xml.exe utility?

    Ah,


    I get the point, you need to filter both lines. Maybe this is a bit clearer:


    ImportConverter0 = save to tempfile.dcm
    ImportConverter1 = ifequal "%m","SR"; stop; system dgate.exe --convert_to_jpg:tempfile.dcm,1024,tempfile.jpg,//0
    ImportConverter2 = ifnotequal "%m","SR"; stop; system dsr2xml.exe tempfile.dcm misure.xml
    ImportConverter3 = rm tempfile.dcm
    ImportConverter4 = destroy


    Marcel

    Ok Marcel, I understand!


    but should not be in this way???


    Code
    ImportConverter0 = save to tempfile.dcm

    ImportConverter1 = ifnotequal "%m","SR"; stop; system dgate.exe --convert_to_jpg:tempfile.dcm,1024,tempfile.jpg,//0

    ImportConverter2 = ifequal "%m","SR"; stop; system dsr2xml.exe tempfile.dcm misure.xml

    ImportConverter3 = rm tempfile.dcm

    ImportConverter4 = destroy

    It doesn't work Marcel!!!


    I've tried this way:


    Code
    ImportConverters = 5ImportConverter0 = save to C:\SOFTWARE_EMMECI\DESKTOP\IMG_ECO\P000001\EG20130316\temp.dcmImportConverter1 = ifequal "%m","SR";stop;process with dgate.exe "--convert_to_jpg:C:\SOFTWARE_EMMECI\DESKTOP\IMG_ECO\P000001\EG20130316\temp.dcm,1024,C:\SOFTWARE_EMMECI\DESKTOP\IMG_ECO\P000001\EG20130316\%V0020,0013.jpg,//0"ImportConverter2 = ifnotequal "%m","SR";stop;dsr2xml.exe C:\SOFTWARE_EMMECI\DESKTOP\IMG_ECO\P000001\EG20130316\temp.dcm C:\SOFTWARE_EMMECI\DESKTOP\IMG_ECO\P000001\EG20130316\misure.xmlImportConverter3 = rm C:\SOFTWARE_EMMECI\DESKTOP\IMG_ECO\P000001\EG20130316\temp.dcmImportConverter4 = destroy


    but it seems that if I'm sending an image (slide) it works (import converter 1), while when I send the SR report the importconverter 2 is skipped, on the server page I find only import converter 0 and 4, why????????


    if I try with export converters?


    infact, if I put only this in dicom.ini it works (no slide retrieving)

    Code
    ExportConverters=1

    ExportModality0 = SR

    ExportConverter0 = dsr2xml.exe %f "+C:\SOFTWARE_EMMECI\DESKTOP\IMG_ECO\P000001\EG20130316\misure.xml


    an example with both image and SR retrieving?

    Hi,


    importconverters require 'system ' to call an external program!


    ImportConverter2 = ifnotequal "%m","SR";stop; system dsr2xml.exe C:\SOFTWARE_EMMECI\DESKTOP\IMG_ECO\P000001\EG20130316\temp.dcm C:\SOFTWARE_EMMECI\DESKTOP\IMG_ECO\P000001\EG20130316\misure.xml


    If am advocating lua now for these kind of tasks because the syntax is easier.


    Marcel

    Hi Marcel!


    today at 3 p.m. I'll try your hint


    by the way, could you supply me also an exportconverter example to test if the import doesn't work?


    Sorry but I can use this US machine only when the clinic is closed, just one afternoon a week


    regards,

    Hi Marcel!


    I've this in dicom.ini

    I've also tested the %m and this is the result

    Code

    this is what happens in the server status window

    this is in debug mode

    Hi,


    Sorry, you need to use " rather than ' around strings in the import converters. My mistake. Also a small 'bug': rm does not log even if it works.


    ImportConverters = 5
    ImportConverter0 = save to C:\SOFTWARE_EMMECI\DESKTOP\IMG_ECO\P000001\PT20130316\temp.dcm
    ImportConverter1 = ifequal "%m","SR";stop;process with dgate.exe etc
    ImportConverter2 = ifnotequal "%m","SR";stop;system dsr2xml.exe etc
    ImportConverter3 = rm C:\SOFTWARE_EMMECI\DESKTOP\IMG_ECO\P000001\PT20130316\temp.dcm
    ImportConverter4 = destroy


    Marcel

    Ok, I've found it!


    but now I'm getting problems with dsr2xml utility....


    if I put

    Code
    ImportConverter2 = ifequal "%m","SR";process with dsr2xml.exe C:\SOFTWARE_EMMECI\DESKTOP\IMG_ECO\P000001\PT20130316\temp.dcm C:\SOFTWARE_EMMECI\DESKTOP\IMG_ECO\P000001\PT20130316\misure.xml


    on the conquest server window I get


    Code
    [CONQUESTSRV1] Importconverter2.1 executes: process with dsr2xml.exe C:\SOFTWARE_EMMECI\DESKTOP\IMG_ECO\P000001\PT20130316\temp.dcm C:\SOFTWARE_EMMECI\DESKTOP\IMG_ECO\P000001\PT20130316\misure.xml C:\SOFTWARE_EMMECI\DESKTOP\IMG_ECO\P000001\PT20130316\printer_files\1.2.826.0.1.3680043.2.135.730956.43877812.6.1363878834.760.0.dcm


    and, of course, doesn't work, why is the %f added at the end?
    If i put the same command in a .bat file and launch it, it works! maybe I need some particular syntax for parameters???


    PS if I launch with system doesn't work, with process to it works!


    thanks!!

    Hi,


    process with does: save image %f, run exe %f, load image %f, so the command itself adds the %f on the end.


    system does nothing of that all, so you should replace "process with" also with "system"


    Marcel

    If I put


    Code
    ImportConverter3 = ifequal "%m","SR";system dsr2xml.exe C:\SOFTWARE_EMMECI\DESKTOP\IMG_ECO\P000001\MR20130210\misure.dcm C:\SOFTWARE_EMMECI\DESKTOP\IMG_ECO\P000001\MR20130210\misure.xml


    doesn't work! no conversion at all


    Hi, does


    dsr2xml.exe C:\SOFTWARE_EMMECI\DESKTOP\IMG_ECO\P000001\MR20130210\misure.dcm C:\SOFTWARE_EMMECI\DESKTOP\IMG_ECO\P000001\MR20130210\misure.xml


    work?


    Maybe it cannot locate the dictionary or dsr2xml.exe.


    system maps onto c++ system() function and should work. You can also try e.g.,


    system notepad


    or use the full path of dsr2xml.exe
