Hi,
Change the receiving compression and send the images to itself.
Marcel
Currently i am doing this but it takes lot of time. Instead i want that i write some batch script or something that simply compress the already saved images and save the time of resending them again.
Hi,
the batch script would to the same. If you can list each patientID you can do:
dgate --modifystudy:patientid,,nop
This would load and store each image and change it to the current compression
or:
dgate "--modifystudy:patientid,,compression J2"
Which would compress each image to e.g. J2.
Marcel
Will test and update you.
Hi Marcel
Is this correct command line for dgate.
dgate64.exe --modifystudy:1234,,compression J2
As i get the following error:
[PACS] Server command sent using DGATE -- option

The format has quotes:
dgate "--modifystudy:patientid,,compression J2"
Marcel
Thanks for the correction it worked great. Is there any option to add Patient ID and Study Date both in this --modifystudy command????
Hi,
no, you can only pass a studyinstanceUID between the ,,
Marcel
Hi
A simple drag'n drop of your DICOM folder to the Conquest GUI also works. I did that a couple of years ago, took like aweek but worked like a charm.
I would however use a 2nd Conquest instance/GUI for the task if you want to keep your archive online - it just has to use the same DICOM folder and database.
hi
I am using the following command as before but today i am getting this error:[HPACS] ***Child: Unable to OpenFileMapping : 2 ('--modifystudy:A1234567-1). My command is as follow:-
dgate64.exe '--modifystudy:A1234567-1,, compression j2'.
Please guide..
--HM
Hi use double quotes and make sure there are no spaces. I have not counted comma's versus the manual.
Marcel
dgate "--modifystudy:A1234567-1,,compression j2"
Hi Marcel
I replace single quotes with the double quotes but still facing the error. Appended below is the server log.

This says that there is an uncolumn ViewName. Does the column is missing or what??
--HM
Hi,
ViewName is not in my database definition. Did you add this to dicom.sql? If so you need to regenerate.
Marcel
Yes there is a column ViewName { 0x0008, 0x2127, "ViewName", 128, SQL_C_CHAR, DT_UI }.
Database is already regenerated without any error and i later do so. But still i am facing the error until and unless i remove all the columns i added in the database and restore the original database.
Will you please guide me how can i run the modifystudy command with my custom database.
--HM
Hi,
Where is the column? You are not allowed to put columns at the beginning or the end - as well documented in the manual.
Marcel
Sorry for the trouble as i haven't gone through the manual so deeply.....
Will you please tell me what is the code for LOSSY JPEG Compression type.
--HM
Hi,
j6 for traditional jpeg, j7 for newer jpegls.
Marcel
Thanks
