Implementation Model
Overview
The implementation model describes how the system processes and exchanges DICOM data through various Application Entities (AEs).
Application Entities (AEs)
The following AEs are implemented: - Storage SCP: Accepts and stores DICOM images. - Storage SCU: Sends DICOM images to other systems. - Query/Retrieve SCP: Provides access to stored images. - Query/Retrieve SCU: Requests images from a remote PACS. - Verification SCP/SCU: Supports DICOM C-Echo for connection testing.
Application Data Flow
The system consists of multiple Application Entities that communicate using standard DICOM protocols. Below is a high-level data flow:
Supported DICOM Services
The following DICOM services are supported by the system:
- Image Storage (C-Store): The system supports the storage of DICOM images.
- Query/Retrieve (C-Find, C-Move): The system can query and retrieve DICOM images from a PACS.
- Verification (C-Echo): The system supports C-Echo to verify the availability of the system.
Supported DICOM Services
| Service | Description | SCU/SCP Support |
|---|---|---|
| C-Store | Image storage service | SCU & SCP |
| C-Find | Query for DICOM images | SCU & SCP |
| C-Move | Retrieve DICOM images | SCU & SCP |
| C-Echo | DICOM verification (ping) | SCU & SCP |
