Forward every other image

  • Hi,


    Is it possible to set a rule, (hopefully not using lua coz I still do not understand it), to forward every other image in a study/series?


    Also useful would be if it is possible to do that only when number of images in a series is more than, say, 50.


    Thanks.

  • Hi,


    that is a tough question, as forwarders typically have no memory nor can look into the future. The only way I can think of is a lua script that would trigger on a e.g. a series level:


    process series after 100 by forwarder.lua %VSeriesInstanceUID.


    Where the SeriesInstanceUID would be passed as global command_line to file forwarder.lua 100 s after the last image is received for a series. There are samples how to initiate a move with dicommove in the manual.

  • Thanks for the reply.


    Actually, I managed to do this using a different dicom application.


    I painfully listed all even numbers from 2-500 and used "no-op"


    Problem was that the MPRs generated were distorted. They looked "flattened" vertically. The viewer does not extrapolate but just stacks available images together.


    I had to abandon the idea.
