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.
HI,
I would just like to comment that though J1 and J2 are the same, not all commercial and freeware software are able to
import J2 implementation of jpeg lossless. J1=UID 70 and j2= UID 57 should be compatible
and interchangeable, but unfortunately UID 70 seems to be more universally accepted jpeg lossless transfer syntax implementation.
I would have wished jpeg J1 was the version you choose to retain. So that Kpacs and efilm ver 1x to 2x can import them directly.

hi,
Thanks for pointing me the direction. Will hope to learn and write a good script

Hi,
Im trying to create a special filename syntax but run into difficullies, not being a programmer
I wanted to save radiograph images by the name,sex,age,and birthday of the patients
With the family name in UPPER CASE, first name in lower case, Middle initial in UPPER case and removing the caret used as space between
in these the dicom.
These will require lua programming? the name and age are the ones the seem to require those?
Thanks for any help

Hi,
Ive been trying to reproduce the error, but cannot seem to make it reappear.
Im only getting correct UID syntax transfer for Jpeg2000 and old dcmcjpeg inserted J1 header all in same image.

Hi,
I been partially moving previously stored dicom data in J1 compression to Jpeg2000 lossless to further reduce file size.
Review of saved files show that dicom header UID tranfer syntax is Jpeg2000 lossless however the previously inserted J1 header remains intact. Is this a proper behaviour or should have the J1 header been appended or removed?

Hi,
Downloaded link and got ConquestUpdate1416j
the gui says latest built april-4-2012 but version (j)??
[CONQUESTSRV2] DGATE (1.4.16j, build Wed Apr 04 08:05:30 2012, bits 64) is running as threaded server
Tested with results on jpeg bug.
1. 2 LossyImageCompression is still not set to "01" with jk2000 (jl). works and sets its to "01" with jpeg lossy (j6)
result sample of (jl)
(0002,0010) UI [1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.91] # 22 TransferSyntaxUID
(0028,2110) CS [00] # 2 LossyImageCompression
Both jpeg lossless and lossy use [1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.91] # 22 TransferSyntaxUID. I undestand that this is accepted. Would using 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.90 help distinguish lossless in the header.
2. LossyQuality in dicom.ini not working. Image size the same regarless of value both j6 and Jl
3. TransferSyntaxUID in dgatesop.lst remains hashed despite enabling jp3000 lossless or lossy after saving configuration in gui.
#JPEG2000LosslessOnly 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.90 transfer LittleEndianExplicit
#JPEG2000 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.91 transfer LittleEndianExplicit
hope the observation helps

Hi,
Has the 1.4.16(k) release been upload to the server? Can't find the file.
ajgg
Hi,
You were right some config settings were wrongly configured. thanks. Will be more diligent next time.
ajgg
Hi,
Doing tests to compare compression settings after trying to compress an original CR image to below 500K size for document transfer.
1. The size output of built-in lossy compression( dicom.ini set LossyQuality = 50) does not result in any difference in file size from the default setting of LossyQuality = 95.
A. dicom.ini settings settings
DecompressNon16BitsJpeg = 1
UseBuiltInJPEG = 1
settings and the resulting file size
================================
uncompressed = 38.424 K
LossyQuality set at 95 = 7,462 k
LossyQuality set at 50 = 7,462 k
B. Using external program for compression (dcmcjpeg) dicom.ini settings
UseBuiltInJPEG = 0
using importconverter process with dcmcjpeg.exe -v +eb +g +q 50 parameters
settiings and the resulting file size
================================
set at 50 = 547 k
The test was does using a clean default server setup of 1.4.16i
C: I also obsserved that the image header of the compressed images do not indicate that a lossy compression was made sfter using jpeglossy of jpeg2000 lossy compression settings.
Header (0028,2110) CS [00] # 2 LossyImageCompression remains set to "0". I think k-pacs and iq-view uses this parameter because I get warnings when viewing images compressed from older conquest versions that were using dcmcjpeg.
saw this related post http://forum.dcmtk.org/viewtop…a9810bf07c18217d6e796f02c
I hope the observations can helps

Ok
I will modify config and see result of transfer. thanks

Hi,
One of the characteristics of conquest is that it will rewrite a file already in the pacs even exact duplicates. .
A wishlist would be a feature to allow or disregard files rewritten when a duplicate of a study is sent.
. it could be a dicom.ini parameter. The server would check the sopuid then compare name, patient, id, age, sex, accession number, birthdate and possibly other parameters of the incoming file. if those are the same with stored file, the the incoming file is ignored leaving the original intact. A log is also written of the duplicate file. A more complex alternative is a duplicate file is save in a separate folder. Otherwise if the parameter is not set the old file is overwritten. The dicom.ini could state something like overwriteduplicate=1, allowing files to be rewritten, which is the present default. It may increase cpu usage but a lot faster than rewriting a whole study I guess.
One reason for this request is we get ntfs errors on chkdsk.
Deleting corrupt attribute record (186, $I30)
This is a known ntfs "bug" deficiency.

viewed the image file in the gui and it looks okay.
I will send the log file in the email
ajgg
Hi,
Sorry but don,t know what to look for. Need some guidance. I will run transfer with debug set to 1. I can email the server log in compressed format it that will be ok?
this will take a couple of hours
ajgg
Hi
This is thelast lines of the log after 3hrs tranfer with slowdowm

Hi
Tried to transfer 400G (300T plus files) across to servers using 1.4.16i in both. Files are jpeg 2000 lossless. Observed slow down of receiving refer with increase memory use up to 70,000 real and 240,000 in task manager. Receiving server return to normal speed on service restart. After several studies memory use increase builds-up again. transferred was done using command line --movestudies,servera,serverb,*
This seems to affect only the x32 dgate64 does not seem affected
thanks for any comments
