1. Implementation Model
The ONIS DICOM Client is a medical imaging application that receives objects
(images) for storage but does not allow the query and retrieval of these objects. It runs
on the following Microsoft Windows platform:
. Windows XP Professional
. Windows 2003 Server
. Windows Vista 32 & 64 bits
- Windows 2008 Server
as a plugin for ONIS 2.3 that accepts association requests from external applications.
ONIS DICOM Client can be started automatically when ONIS 2.3 starts up. Users can
modify the different available settings of the ONIS DICOM Client from the preference
panel of ONIS 2.3.
The following parameters of the ONIS DICOM Client are configurable from the
preference panel of ONIS 2.3:
-

Application Entity Title of the DICOM Server

Listening port number

Maximum number of clients which can be connected at same time

Time out settings (Idle, Connection, Move and Store)

PDU Size

Security options (verification of the called and calling AE title and/or IP Addresses).

After modifying any of the above settings, the ONIS DICOM Client needs to be
restarted in order for the changes to take effect.
Through the Clients page of the preference panel of ONIS 2.3, the definition of the AE
Applications that can connect to the DICOM Server can be defined. The following
parameters can be defined for each AE Application:
-

Application Entity Title

IP Address

Port Number (when this AE Application will be used as an SCP)

Rights (Find, Get, Move and Store rights)

ONIS DICOM Client has a single Application Entity (AE) for all service Classes.
ONIS DICOM Client can act as an SCU and SCP for Storage Service Class,
Query/Retrieve Service Class and Verification Service Class operations.

1.3 Sequencing of Real-W orld Activities

ONIS DICOM Client is a full multi-threaded application.

2. AE Specifications

2.1.1 Association Establishm ent Policies

This section describes the conditions under which the ONIS DICOM Client AE will
either initiate or accept an association.

2.1.2.4.2 Proposed Presentation Contexts

The Abstract syntax corresponds to the Storage SOP Class UID specified in the SOP
Instance being transferred.
If the transfer syntax of the SOP Instance to be transferred is not Implicit VR Little
Endian, ONIS DICOM Client proposes two transfer syntaxs:
1) Transfer syntax of the original SOP Instance
2) Implicit VR Little Endian
ONIS DICOM Client always includes Implicit VR Little Endian as proposed transfer
syntax for each abstract syntax.
The proposed transfer syntax can be one of the following:
