hcidicomdefgen
This command generates site-level LDL definition files based on an input DICOM message.
hcidicomdefgen -V version -v variant -s service_name
-c transfer_syntax input_message
-
-V version
is the DICOM version. -
-v variant
is the DICOM variant. -
-s service_name
is the DICOM service name.For example:
C_STORE_RQ, C_FIND_RSP,...
-
-c transfer_syntax
is the transfer syntax of the DICOM message. - input_message is the input DICOM message.
This command:
- Creates a variant under $HCISITEDIR/formats/ldl/version/.
- Creates a segment named
service_name_dataset
, and generates the content according to the input message parsing result. - Creates
service_name_MSG
under $HCISITEDIR/formats/ldl/version/variant/messages, which contains:-
service_name_DIMSE
: This should already be defined under $HCIROOT/formats/ldl/version/variant/segments. This command does not generate the definition file for the DIMSE header part. -
service_name_dataset
: Content is generated based on the dataset part of the input DICOM message. This file is located under $HCISITEDIR/formats/ldl/version/variant/segments.
-
Example:
hcidicomdefgen –V 2014 –v test –s C_STORE_RQ –c “{TransferSyntax 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.91}” c_store.dat
Reusing the LDL file
You can create a variant using hcidicomdefgen. For example:
hcidicomdefgen -V version -v variant -s service_name -c transfersyntax input_message
This creates a variant specifying the service_name
C_STORE and
transfersyntax
1.2.840.1008.1.2 [ Little Endian ].
With this usage, you can receive C_STORE_RQ messages that have a different transfer syntax for Big Endian.
You can also reuse the same variant to handle different transfer syntaxes.
For example, you can create two variants first, then combine them into one variant.
In this example, there are two C_STORE_RQ messages:
message1
usestransfersyntax
1.2.840.1008.1.2.message2
usestransfersyntax
1.2.840.1008.1.2.4.91.
The command is:
hcidicomdefgen -V 2014 -v test1 -s C_STORE_RQ -c "{TransferSyntax 1.2.840.10008.1.2}" message1
hcidicomdefgen -V 2014 -v test2 -s C_STORE_RQ -c "{TransferSyntax 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.91}" message2
This generates variant test1
for message1
and
variant test2
for message2
.
To use variant test1
for message1
and
message2
, merge the directory test2
to
directory test1
.
