  • Deteled Study - keeps reappearing

    Hi,


    I assume your sending server sends it again for some reason. Have a look at the server status log.

    You were right - for some reason the sending server was re-trying again and again. Thanks :)

    Hi,


    how is the data stored?


    Marcel


    It was written using DCMTK functions on the scanner. I transfer them using storecp to my computer, where dcmdump reveals the VR are present. As an example:


    (0043,100a) SS 1 # 2, 1 Unknown Tag & Data
    (0043,100b) DS [0.000000] # 8, 1 Unknown Tag & Data
    (0043,100c) DS [100.000000] # 10, 1 Unknown Tag & Data
    (0043,100d) DS [65.809998] # 10, 1 Unknown Tag & Data
    (0043,100e) DS [59.860001] # 10, 1 Unknown Tag & Data


    However if I use ConQuest, the VR are lost (see below - apologies, this is not the exact same file).


    (0043,100a) ?? 01\00 # 2, 1 Unknown Tag & Data
    (0043,100b) ?? 30\2e\30\30\30\30\30\30 # 8, 1 Unknown Tag & Data
    (0043,100c) ?? 31\30\30\2e\30\30\30\30\30\30 # 10, 1 Unknown Tag & Data
    (0043,100d) ?? 36\32\2e\38\31\30\30\30\31\20 # 10, 1 Unknown Tag & Data
    (0043,100e) ?? 36\30\2e\38\34\39\39\39\38\20 # 10, 1 Unknown Tag & Data

    I transferred some images recently using ConQuest and did a dcmdump (DCMTK package) of the files. I noticed a lot of the VR fields are replaced with ?? instead of FL, IS, UL, DS, etc. The dump defaults to reading them as characters so a lot of the code I have written no longer works. I had the same issue with Digital Jacket - certain VR types were replaced with ?? - and was hoping this was a one-off problem. The DCMTK function storescp retains the VR, which to me seems the correct behavior. Why would the server change the tags? Can I turn this behavior off? I like the ConQuest GUI and that it runs quietly in the background, but it has to leave the tags alone :cry:

  • Deteled Study - keeps reappearing

    I am a new user of ConQuest.


    I sent a "test" data set over to check it work (it does!). However this data set is behaving like the living dead - I can't delete it! In Browser I right click and select delete study, some activity happens but when it finishes the files are still there. If I go to the data directory (D:/DICOMS) and delete the whole thing, it reappears in minutes. If I remove D:/DICOMS and also the install directory C:/ConQuest then reinstall fresh.... the undead dataset reappears.


    Where is this thing being stored? How can I remove it forever?

  • Put series in different folders

    I just downloaded and installed Conquest DICOM server. It looks nice and runs well - just one thing missing for me. The studies are stored in separate folders but insider all the files from all series are stored together. Is there a way to organize Series within the Study into subfolders? This would make life much easier for doing post-processing, e.g. reading a certain Series into MATLAB for feature extractions.


    Any pointers appreciated - thanks! :D
