Try to set the ini options:

ConvertTransferSyntax=1

and

SecondProposedTransferSyntax=1.2.840.10008.1.2.1

instead of 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.70 which is the default value.

There might be an issue with Fuji prefering Jpeg lossless over uncompressed.

Crashes like this are very hard to debug.
Are you interested in running a special debug version that logs all necessary info to find the reason?

If so, please let me know.

Hi,

yes, it's important to know, that a move request will only pass AET as target identification and no IP or Port. This means that unique AET's are essential in order to avoid confusion like in your case.

Well, the move operation seems to have finished successfully. Maybe K-PACS lost the link to it's own database. I would suggest a database rebuild (in "Local Settings" dialog). Maybe this helps.

This is a bug of K-PACS 1.5 and will be corrected in the next version.

Well, this user definable key mapping already exists, but only in our commercial version, sorry..

I notice that when you install KPACS, it asks for three different servers. something like storage, copy, move (I can't remember). Should all these be the SAME name or DIFFERENT names?

no, it's not neccessary to give them all different AET's.

What you could do next is: open the "Server Admin Tool" and start the KPACS server in "verbose" mode (check the "verbose" checkbox and re-start the server). Now you will see a blank command window. Try to do the retrieve again. If the command window fills with text, that Conquest tries to communicate with KPServer. If not, then Conquest does not talk to the server, in this case, either IP or Port are wrong.

Did you update the "known dicom providers" table of Conquest with AET, port and IP of yor K-PACS installation?

It would look like this in your K-PACS

WBS_KPServ 127.0.0.1 105 un

K-PACS/iQ-View expect the overlay's Rows/Columns to match the dimension of the original image. Smaler/larger overlays are currently not supported. Please send me an example image to allow me to investigate further.

Andreas

You can setup K-PACS to send multiple files in one association. To do so, open the K-PACS.ini file and Change the option SendMultipleFilesInOneAssociation from 0 to 1. Note that K-PACS must not run when you change INI settings.

K-PACS uses the WindowWidht and WindowCenter values in the DICOM header of the displayed images as default values. If there are no such DICOM tags then a "mean" window will be calculated. If you need a different standard window then you should check within your modality's settings if there is a way to write these values as default.
With iQ-View Pro (V2.5) you can also define a specific hanging protocol for the kind of study that is displayed inappropriately and change it's window here to the one you like, but this is not (and will not be) a feature of K-PACS.

Well, it should work but you will have to try it out by yourself.
JPEG lossless compressed images will be decompressed in real-time (frame by frame) when displayed. This means, that in this case not RAM is the biggest limitation but rather CPU speed. You can display a 4GB multiframe (cine) series on a 512MB Laptop, but you can not decompress the entire object on this machine.

As Rafael proposed, you should try the -nd parameter or, as an alternative the +B parameter. The latter will force the server to dump the received dataset to file without touching it.
Your limitation is the 2GB RAM. The server will load the entire dataset into RAM in order do decompress it before storing it to your harddisc. For a 2GB dataset you will need at least 3GB of free RAM.

Andreas

Hello Robert,

yes, it does. You have to open the K-PACS.ini file and change the entry

SendMultipleFilesInOneAssociation=0

to

SendMultipleFilesInOneAssociation=1

The Conquest server is our preferred archive software. It should be used as central storage with one or more modalities sending images to it and one or more clients (like K-PACS) retrieving these images for reading.

Andreas

K-PACS-Lite can not be customized in this way. Only our commercial version iQ-View/iQ-Lite can be setup to display an individual banner and a customizable disclaimer.

Regards,
Andreas

Sorry, K-PACS does not support VIDAR scanners natively. You can try the latest TWAIN driver from VIDAR, they might be better than the one I once tested that failed to transfer more than one image.

Regards,
Andreas

Yes, this might work, but you will only be able to run one at a time.

Regards,
Andreas

Yes, this can be done.

You have to create a text file, call it "lite.ini" and copy it into the iQ-View folder. This file will be copied onto each CD automatically. This text file should contain this text:

[CustomSettings]
ShowBitmapOverlays=0

1 means Bitmap overlay display on and 0 means off.

Waiting for the last translations...
We promise it is out soon, Vista repeled us for more than two months.
