Meanwhile, I have found another type of header corruption: Some images contain a complete metaheader. The transfersyntax says that the file is encoded in LittleEndian (don't remember if it was implicit or explicit, but I could try to find out if it helps). However, the pixeldata is obviously compressed. I find a hint in the DerivationDescription about the used compression algorithm.
Following Mr. van Herk's suggestion, I would like to transfer the images to our server using DICOM-C-Store. But is there any way of making sure that all images were successfully transferred? Does Conquest support storage commitment as an SCU? Is there a mode which tells conquest to delete the images after successful transmission? Or are there any other ideas how to accomplish the transfer?
Thanks in advance
