wow...you replied back the same day..I wasn't expecting a reply this fast...thanks for that & sorry about not responding any earlier.
yes but if the settings were wrong, KPacs won't retrieve any information from the PACS Server. but it does; just that it is not able to view them.if it is the wrong setting(which I purposely tried) it cannot retrieve any information about patients.
I searched for CT patients done last week, it retrieves the right information and even the right number of images, but the viewer doesn't seem to work.
I used DicomWorks to convert a patient folder on the pacs server to dcm format and then when I imported that folder from the filesystem, it worked fine.
but that doesn't really solve the problem of downloading images from the pacs server.
would be a great help if you point me in the right direction.
thank you so much
