[Aeskulap-devel] Using Aeskulap to Q&R for DCM4CHEE

[David M. Kowalski]

Hi Folks.

Do we have an integration with dcm4chee using Askulap as its Viewer?  Since 
dcm4chee does not Q&R from other PACS systems, I have found aeskulap very 
useful in performing this function.  The only problem I have is a DICOM error 
message from aeskulap since it sends the images straight to dcm4chee and not 
back to Aeskulap.

I'm not a programmer, but have extensive DICOM knowlege and by changing the 
move AET in aeskulap (Calling AET in GUI to Server), I can use it to query 
most PACS solution and re-direct the studies to dcm4chee providing the Q&R 
function of other PACS solutions that it does not have.

I read the board that lists the desired functionality of using aeskulap as a 
Q&R SCU and be able to send the studies from aeskulap to a PACS.  This would 
be very nice as well, but where I'm stuck is just changing the "images failed" 
message in aeskulap when I put a different move AET in its Q&R of a PACS.  I'd 
like the message to be changed to "images delivered to X-Pacs" instead.

Any guidance on where to change the message would be great.  I can't seem to 
find it to change it.  I'm running aeskulap & dcm4chee on the same linux box.  
My primary reason for this is due to the fact that my very old PACS does not 
have compression and with dcm4chee in front of it, I can Q&R studies JPEG2000 
lossless compressed.  This means my remote sites with small bandwidths can get 
their needed images quickly and can burn them to disk for visiting patients.


Respectfully,
