Hi -

I know that the real bug here is that I'm misunderstanding something :-).

A DICOM SCU that is trying to send data to a CC ImageServer is failing because it the images are compressed and the SCU can't decompress the images before they are sent. The images are in 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.57  (JPEG Lossless Process 14). Here's the error I get:

Abstract Syntax 1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.2/CT Image Storage with Transfer Syntax 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.57/JPEG Lossless, Non-Hierarchical (Process 14) not supported.

If the images are saved to disk I can import them in Osirix or the CC workstation and successfully send to the server. If I try to load the files using storescu.exe - I get an error message similar to the one above. The manual workaround is something that I want to avoid because it's just extra work for people that are insanely busy. 

So - I decided to try to write a small StorageScp service that would read these images in and then retransmit them (decompressing if necessary) to the ImageServer.  But I haven't been able to get this to work.

If I set up the presentation contexts like this:

            pcid = assoc.AddPresentationContext(SopClass.CtImageStorage);

            assoc.AddTransferSyntax(pcid, TransferSyntax.ExplicitVrLittleEndian);

            assoc.AddTransferSyntax(pcid, TransferSyntax.ImplicitVrLittleEndian);

            assoc.AddTransferSyntax(pcid, TransferSyntax.JpegLosslessNonHierarchicalFirstOrderPredictionProcess14SelectionValue1);

            assoc.AddTransferSyntax(pcid, TransferSyntax.JpegLosslessNonHierarchicalProcess14);

 

This is the error message that I get from the following command:

$ storescu.exe -v +v -xs -aet SWDVM1 -aec TIMCROUTER +sd  +sp *.dcm emiswd0vm1.partners.org 3333 0e5a9aceeb542efac4b55a4c197a5c31e533fda6/*

If I commend out all but the 

assoc.AddTransferSyntax(pcid,TransferSyntax.JpegLosslessNonHierarchicalProcess14);

 

I get the following message:

I: Association Accepted (Max Send PDV: 116782)

How can I change my code (or server config) so that these images are accepted? 

Thanks!

Sean

No solution yet.

One thing I've tried (since I'm on a 64 bit Windows 7 machine) was to make sure that the ClearCanvas.Dicom.Codec.Jpeg.dll was loaded. I've set Visual Studio 2008 to have 'any computer' as a target and I'm using the DLLs from the SDK redistributables. The *.Jpeg.dll is included as a reference and the service deploys with it.

But the behavior is still the same - it won't accept the compressed JPEG:
$ storescu.exe -v -xs -aet SWDVM1 -aec TIMCROUTER +sd +sp *.dcm emiswd0vm1.pa
rtners.org 3333 0e5a9aceeb542efac4b55a4c197a5c31e533fda6/*

I'm open to suggestions for what to try next :-).

Thanks!

In general sending JPEG compessed DICOM images to the ImageServer 2.0 SP1 using the storescu.exe from DCMTK should work fine.

Can you try to enable the DEBUG logging within the Logging.config of your ImageServer installation, restart the service and check if all plugin DLLs got loaded.


    <root>
        <level value="DEBUG" />
        <appender-ref ref="RollingLogFileAppender" />
        <appender-ref ref="ConsoleAppender" />
        <appender-ref ref="AdoNetAppender" />
    </root>

You can also enable the debug mode for the storescu (option -d) to ensure that the JPEG TransferSyntax is in the list of proposed syntaxes.

Sean,

The order you add the transfer syntaxes to your presentation context determines the priority the toolkit uses when negotiating the association. So, if you list/add the .57 transfer syntax first, it should select it when negotiating if its proposed. I think this should help you out.

One year later fate brought me into the exact same situation. I want to send JPEG Lossless, Non-Hierarchical (Process 14) compressed DICOM images directly into the ImageServer 2.0 using the DCMTK's storescu. I always assumed that this should work since the Comformance Statement says that the TransferSyntax is support.

However the storescu and ImageServer log is telling something different:

D: $dcmtk: storescu v3.6.0 2011-01-06 $

I: Requesting Association

F: Association Rejected:

F: Reason: No Reason

ImageServer log:

2012-07-20 14:34:08,427 [DicomServer: 127.0.0.1 [42]] ERROR - Rejecting association from STORESCU: No valid presentation contexts.

Combining the TransferSyntax with others will explicitly reject the 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.57 TransferSyntax

	Presentation Context 3 [Reject - Transfer Syntaxes Not Supported] Abstract: CT Image Storage
		Transfer: JPEG Lossless, Non-Hierarchical (Process 14)

So it looks to me like the 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.57 TransferSyntax is just not supported

Martin,

It looks like the ImageServer Conformance Statement is just wrong. I'm not sure how this one got through, but the JPEG Lossless transfer syntax the ImageServer supports is this one:

JPEG Lossless, Non-Hierarchical, First-Order Prediction (Process 14 [Selection Value 1]), 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.70

We just don't support the 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.57 transfer syntax. Although we could support the .57 transfer syntax, we chose to only support the .70 transfer syntax because we thought it was more common.
