Hi All,

According to the DICOM standard a C-MOVE-RQ on study level should provide a value for the Unique Key of the higher patient level (Patient ID) (See PS3.4, c.4.2.2.1).

In Clearcanvas only the StudyInstanceUID can be given:

    /// MoveScuBase moveScu = new StudyRootMoveScu("myClientAeTitle", "myServerAe", "127.0.0.1", 5678, "destinationAE");
    /// moveScu.AddStudyInstanceUid("1.3.46.670589.5.2.10.2156913941.892665384.993397");
    /// moveScu.Move();

I don't think many PACS-systems have a problem with this implementation, but in my opinion this is not completely correct implemented.

With kind regards,

Luuk

Good point Dan, I was talking strictly about the Q/R models, but the methods on the MoveScuBase don't entirely make sense.  Also, I only glanced quickly at the code, but it looks as though it will only work for PATIENT or STUDY level.  The reason is that the standard actually specifies that the unique key for each level above the current query level must be supplied, but if you were to call AddStudyInstanceUid followed by AddSeriesInstanceUid (for SERIES level for example), it would actually throw an exception.  And, there's no way to access the DicomAttributeCollection directly.

I've entered a ticket for this here.

Stewart, sorry I didn't look well in the code when I copied the example from MoveSCu.cs and I didn't mention the patient root Q/R information model.

Just for your information: The comment in the Summary-part of the region StudyRootMoveScu in MoveScu.cs mentions "Patient Root Move Scu" instead of "Study Root Move Scu" (at least in my version).

Thanks.

Luuk

Just an FYI, this has now been fixed.
