Hi! I'm doing a research study on the affect of noise in CTP images, and I'd like to write a plugin that can automatically run some basic image processing whenever it receives a DICOM data set. More specifically, I'd like the plugin to be able to receive DICOM images, automatically process these images, and then push the images back to the server that sent them, without any user  interaction on the plugin's side of the exchange. 

I'm having some trouble reading and understanding the documentation, can anyone help me get an idea of where to start?

Thanks!

Hi, which product are you creating a plugin for? Is it ImageServer? If you want to do the receipt and processing yourself, you might consider writing your own separate simple application rather than extending one of the larger products. Have a look at the Dicom Samples project to see how to write a simple StorageScp.
