Testing DICOM

To test DICOM, set up the Conquest DICOM Server using AET DICOMTEST and port 5678.

  1. Install the dcm4che or dcmtk library. (See the Tools section).
  2. Download the sample DICOM images. (See "DICOM example files" in the Tools section).
  3. Set up the site and start Cloverleaf:
    setroot …
    hcisiteinit sitedicom
    copy attached NetConfig to $HCISITEDIR/
    hcienginerun –p sitedicom
  4. Send a DICOM image through Cloverleaf. From external SCU, send C-Store to CL-SCP.
    Using dcm4che:
    dcm4che-3.2.0-bin\dcm4che-3.2.0\bin\storescu 
    –c AET@HOST:PORT FILE
    Example:
    dcm4che-3.2.0-bin\dcm4che-3.2.0\bin\storescu -c CLSCP@localhost:11010 IM-0001-0008.dcm 
    or
    Using dcmtk:
    dcmtk-3.6.0-win32-i386\bin\storescu -ll debug -xv -xw HOST PORT 
    FILE
    Example:
    dcmtk-3.6.0-win32-i386\bin\storescu -ll debug -xv -xw localhost 11010 IM-0001-0009.dcm
    In these examples:
    • Host is the host/IP of Cloverleaf.
    • Port is the port for CL_SCP. This is set to 11010.
    • AET is the local AE Title for CLSCP.
    • File is the dcm file. See the Tools section to download samples.
