HI,
I have dicom router to route images to orthanc. but there is problem when we send study from machine to orthanc, orthanc shows machine ae title as source Ae title. when studies are routing from router to orthanc, it shows router ae title as source title.

I want to keep original(machine) ae title at orthanc level when studies routed from dicom router,
I dont’ want to keep router’s ae title as source ae title in orthanc.

Any suggestions?

Hello,

This is how the DICOM protocol works: Orthanc only knows the AET of the modality (either the machine or the router) that sends the images to Orthanc through the network.

If you want to identify the machine that generated the images, use the DICOM tags from the “General Equipment” module, most probably the optional “Station Name” (0008,1010) DICOM tag. If this tag is not present, get in touch with the support team of your modality (you pay them to asnwer such questions).

Helloo Sébastien

Noor and I work in the same team. Let me explain the issue we are dealing at the moment

We have legacy system where remote modalities (Original AE Title ) forward studies to our PacsOne DICOM server and DICOM pushes the studies to the Clear Canvas server while keeping the original AE Title so we assign studies to relevant client Worklist.

We are developing a new solution in which remote modalities (Original AE Title ) send it to ur PacsOne DICOM server. The PacsOne DICOM server then Auto forward it to the Orthanc server. There is no issue to find the original AE Title when the study is auto forwarded from PacsOne DICOM server to Orthanc server.

The issue arises when sometimes we have to manually push the study from the PacsOne DICOM server to the Orthanc server. It changes the title to our PacsOne server instead of keeping the original AE Title of the study. We never experience this issue i.e. manually pushing studies from PacsOne DICOM server to legacy Clear Canvas server. It keeps the original AE Title of the study.

Hope this helps to explain the issue.

Thanks
Imran

Hello,

As far as I understand your question, you are asking how to change the AET of PacsOne DICOM server for one specific DICOM transfer to Orthanc.

You should ask this question to the support team of PacsOne, as this question is not related to Orthanc.

If PacsOne doesn’t provide such a feature, please read my previous answer and use the “Station Name” DICOM tag to identify the original AET:
