Conquest 1.5.0d released

    Hi Conquest users and friends,


    This is the 1.5.0d release. It fixes some bugs (CGET) and improves the web interface functionality, using Apache or the built-in webserver.


    You can download the release here:


    http://natura-ingenium.nl/dicomserver/dicomserver150d.zip


    This is the corresponding Github commit for 1.5.0d:


    https://github.com/marcelvanhe…9b6669417163dc5c9852bd6e5


    As usual you can update by extracting dgate.exe or dgate64.exe and conquestdicomserver.exe, but also quite a few other files have changed - mainly in the web interface, lua code and installer. The web interface no longer required cgi, but uses PhP instead.


    The latest source code (1.5.0d+) can be browsed on: https://github.com/marcelvanherk/Conquest-DICOM-Server


    Please report bugs and successes!

    Edited 4 times, last by marcelvanherk: Corrected links ().

    This is the buglist, starting with leftover bugs from earlier versions, per category:


    GUI bugs

    G1) browse tab does not work if user of server service and server gui are differerent.


    Web interface bugs

    DICOM Communication bugs

    C1) Multiple instance matching incomplete


    Installer bugs or limitations (low priority)

    I1) last line of dicom.ini does not read if no CR - futured

    I2) web installer should copy OHIF (in github) and luiz html folders and compile servertask

    I3) Web installer on windows does not offer a 'regen' by itself

    I4) Fedora uses /var/www, and nohup has an issue. Therefore provide specific web install scripts for other linux flavours, e.g. fedora.sh. Fedora also requires "sudo setenforce Permissive" for the web server and install to work; also acrnema.map must be copied locally to the cgi-bin/newweb folder rather than pointing to the server folder.

    I5) Oracle linux issues see below; add mysql/mariadb option

    I6) Running ConquestDicomserver from wine with dgate as linux service issues, replace c: temp filenames with z:/


    Unconfirmed bugs:

    U1) I was also expecting DicomObject:Read('stu\ser\sop') to work with virtual servers but I tested it again and sadly no luck there

    U2) Show header in wadoviewer (wado text) open sometimes as dgate.exe downloads

    U3) App/newweb may add HTML header to zip files if using userlogin (not confirmed)


    Below ---- newly found bugs for 1.5.0c will be collected (also see above)

    N1) Too long queries do not give a proper error message in GUI

    N2) Dicom printing from script or gui fails for compressed images

    N3) print text from lua should fail gracefully for too long output

    N4) Internal networking is unreliable on Centos7

    N5) data processed though incoming has CallingAE of 16 spaces in ImportConverter

    N6) progressbar in GUI fails to close on very short operations from browser

    N7) export:xx,,,,binary does not work

    N8) Change or modify should not allow empty patientIDs

    N9) Update license to Apache

    N10) The GUI ignores ACRNemaMap in dicom.ini

    N11) The supplied postgress DLL uses a deprecated login method can use libcrypto-3-x64.dll; libiconv-2.dll; libintl-9.dll; libpq(64).dll; libssl-3-x64.dll; libwinpthread-1.dll from recent release

    N12) I think autodelete only works when there is a single MAG device (-ff option).

    N24) support minimal download eg without sources

    N25) deleting e.g. a RTPLAN from a study does not update StudyModality. Will not fix.

    N26) web installer must be made to run on PhP, as cgi is no longer mandated (fix on Git)

    N27) e.g. ImportConverter0 = process with C:\Windows\System32\ping.exe does not remove temporary file (fix on Git)

    N28) provide script to setup linux prerequisites, taking php version into account (fix on Git)

    Please tell me of any bugs you find.

    If you want to install a reduced version of server 1.5.0d on Windows this is a list files of that are needed with full functionality:


    If you want to try Conquest on Linux, this is an absolute minimal automatic install script:


    Code
    sudo apt install lua5.1

    wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marcelvanherk/Conquest-DICOM-Server/master/install/installer.lua

    lua5.1 installer.lua


    It will then ask to install prerequisites. If you allow that, then after it completes you must again run:


    Code
    lua5.1 installer.lua


    It will ask for an AE title (server folder name); then download all; compile it; configure it and install it.

    Afterwards the DICOM server and its web server will run.


    Note that the script installs or assumes Apache web server.

    This is what it looks like, with user input in bold:


    >lua5.1 installer.lua

    This will install Conquest dicom server and its prerequisites - continue? y/n: y

    Good morning marcelvanherk, thank you for what you do.

    A question about this release...

    Is it possible to enable image retrieval without declaring the dicom hosts on the acrnema.map?

    I would like to enable retrive without any restrictions, is it possible to do this by placing * on the acrnema.map?

    Thank you

    Hi,


    acrnema.map is not about restrictions (that is dgatesop.lst), but only to lookup the IP address and port of an AE.


    Solution 1: (for C-MOVE) if you control the AE of the host, you can use e.g. the V* in acrnema.map:


    Give your host e.g. AE = V127.0.0.1 then the line:


    V* * 1234 un


    Defines V127.0.0.1 as:


    V127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 1234 un


    Solution 2: use a C-GET request.


    Solution 3: use DICOMWeb access.


    Solution 4: (for C-MOVE) use a script to add a client to acrnema.map as needed.


    Marcel

    Code
    I'm sorry I did not understand.

    Let me start by saying that I have to use C-Move, how should I configure dgatesop.lst and acrnema.map if for example I have to enable cmove for the entire 192.168.1.x class? The goal is that all viewers of the 192.168.1.x class can retrieve without each of them being declared on the acrnema.map

    This is possible as explained in the above reply in solution 1 and 4.


    Can you define the AE of the viewers to encode the .x in your example? E.g. AE=viewer.1 for 192.168.1.1?


    Then define in acrnema.map:


    viewer.* 192.168.1.* 1234 un


    to do the trick

    Hello! First time posting here. My department's MRI Facility has a Siemens Skyra 3T and Prisma 3T running VE11C. Our IT support set up Conquest years ago for our DICOM transfers. We will soon be upgrading both machines to the XA platform (XA30). The new platform uses "Enhanced Dicoms".


    So I'm writing in to see if the latest version of Conquest will be able to transfer these new Dicoms / has anyone used Conquest with an XA Siemens MRI to verify it works ? Any information I can provide to our IT team would be tremendously helpful.


    Thank you!

    Thanks for giving the community a great application.


    A feature request for the server would the ability to select if a file already exiting in the Database can be replaced or not. This will save computer resources by not having to overwrite data that are duplicates.
