Hi Marcel,
Where would you like me to send it to? I am apparently not allowed to attach it to my post.
Best regards,

Hi,
I've got a question on how ConQuest stores it DICOM files in its data folder. When I put files in my incoming folder they get nicely stored in the data folder and I can see their content from the 'Browse database' tab. However, when I try to read some of those images directly from the data folder, using e.g. irfranview or dcmtk, I can't read the image (dcmtk e.g. says
QuoteError occurred reading metadata from image file : Open: Failed to open DICOM file, DCMTK returned status: I/O suspension or premature end of stream
).
If I export the study as a zip file or copy it to a storescp, the files become readable again. This issue might be related with http://forum.image-systems.biz/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=46983 and http://forum.image-systems.biz/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=43474
I've been comparing some of the stored and exported files and I've noticed that a tag that is 'SS' in the file as stored in ConQuest's data folder is 'US' in the file as exported by Conquest. So I can imagine why reading the image may trip up. There seems to be another difference as well, but I haven't been able to pin it down (yet).
The input file transfer syntax is Explicit Big Endian, the storage setting for ConQuest is un.
When I import the input image I get the following in the log window:
