Hello
I am trying to get the study from modality to orthanc server. I added modality details in the configuration files. Test echo succeeded. And I am able to query and find the details of the patient. But when I try to retrieve the study it shows “Error during retrieve”. What could be the possible error?
Hello,
Please carefully read the documentation about query/retrieve:
https://book.orthanc-server.com/dicom-guide.html#c-move-query-retrieve
https://book.orthanc-server.com/faq/query-retrieve.html#query-retrieve
Summarizing, you most likely haven’t registered Orthanc in the configuration of your remote modality, which is necessary to retrieve images from this remote modality. This is by design of the DICOM protocol.

I have followed the same steps given in the Orthanc book. Talking about remote modality, I have registered my Orthanc server there and when I click on test echo there also it says succeeded. I am sharing my log, perhaps that can help to find the error.

This indicates that Orthanc cannot contact the remote “NCT” modality. This might indicate an issue with your firewall, with your routers, or with your modality. The first place to look at is in the logs of your “NCT” modality.
Check out the following pages:
https://book.orthanc-server.com/users/support.html
Hi Sébastien,
I’m experiencing the same timeout error for all C-MOVEs, but all C-FINDs are succeeding against the same modality in the same time frame. That would suggest it is not a firewall or routing issue.
If I restart Orthanc, the issues goes away temporarily but eventually comes back, hours or days later. That would suggest it probably isn’t a remote modality issue.
I’ve seen this with versions 1.9.3, 1.9.6 and 1.9.7.
In the trace logs, the associations are setting 60 second send & receive timeouts but the “DIMSE No data available” errors are triggered by our 30-second DICOM SCU timeout. (That is our only non-default timeout setting).
Does the DICOM SCU timeout need to be 60 seconds? How is that 60 second association timeout being established? Any ideas are appreciated.
Regards,
Tristan
Dear Tristan,
The same answer holds for you: Check out the logs of your modality, and/or provide a minimal working example for us to reproduce and solve your issue:
https://book.orthanc-server.com/faq/proprietary.html
https://book.orthanc-server.com/users/support.html#discussing-a-minimal-working-example
Quoting the first of these pages: “If you encounter difficulties while interfacing Orthanc with some proprietary software, contact the commercial support of your supplier. As Orthanc is free and open-source, the support team of your supplier can download Orthanc, and can help you solve your problem.”
Regards,
Sébastien-
Ok, thanks for the links.

Feedback to the community:
After investigations, we found out that 6 C-Move were ordered in parallel (C-Move ordered by Orthanc from a remote modality to Orthanc). The first 4 C-Move connections were consuming a DICOM thread leaving no room for the last 2 C-Move which then timed out. There are 4 Dicom threads by default in Orthanc !
We increased the DicomThreadsCount to 10 and the problem has not been observed anymore. Note that DicomThreadsCount is a new configuration that will be available in the next Orthanc release (1.10).
Alain.
Yes. Thank you, Alain, for informing us about the hardcoded thread count and the new configuration parameter pending release.
Cheers,
Tristan
