DICOM associations - be strict about Implementation Version string length?

General
1

I am using Orthanc to test C-STORE to my own SCP.

I have run into an issue where the behaviour of Orthanc is very tolerant to an error I made on my side with the length of the Implementation Version Name tag.

Implementation Version Name (0002,0013)

In my code, I incorrectly exceeded the maximum character limit of 16.

It would be good to be able to put Orthanc in a strict mode where it rejects the DICOM association if a tag does not match its value representation requirements.

Does this already exist? I have looked through all the config file (orthanc.json), and searched as much as I could and cannot see an implementation of something like this.

Hi,

No, there is no such “strict” feature in Orthanc. Everyone having its own interpretation of the DICOM standard we try to be as tolerant as possible :wink:

Best regards,
