Changelist reporting series before series is fully received

Hi. We are using the REST API to track changes on the Orthanc 1.12.1 server. When sending a CT to Orthanc, a new series is reported in the changelist before all the slice instances have arrived. What we would really like is to know when the entire series has been received in Orthanc. Is there a clean/simple way to do this? Thanks!

Hi @blacava

You are using the StableSeries event right ? Not the NewSeries ?

Make sure to check the doc about Stable Resources.

Note that, if you are already using the StableSeries event and you consider this event is triggered too early, you may increase the value of the StableAge configuration. Also note that there are no well-defined mechanisms in the DICOM protocol to guarantee that a study or a series has been received completely.

HTH,

Alain

Thanks. Yeah, seems like there’s no rock-solid way to do this, so we ended up just tracking instance changes over a period of time like StableAge does, but it gives us a bit more control on our side.
