Separate multiframe images

    Hello,


    I have a Philips MR that sends each sequence over as a multi-frame object with the images imbedded as frames. Does Conquest have the ability to separate each frame in the received file as a DICOM image and forward it to another device? There is another device on the network that cannot handle these multiframe images, so this would be quite beneficial.


    Thank you

    Hi,


    there is an extractframe command, so you can forward one selected frame. Maybe you can use a lua script as such (have not checked the syntax):


    savedicomobject(file)
    for i=0,Data.Nframes-1 do
    loaddicomobject(file)
    script('extract frame '..i)
    forward to XXXXXX
    end

    Thanks Marcel,


    I'll experiment with this. In a case where a received file has an unknown number of frames (typically 20-30) would I state "..i" as the maximum number in the script, as you've shown in the example? What if this value exceeds the number of received frames?


    I'll have to dig into using lua scripts to get a handle on this.
