PAP
PACS Archive Provider. A PACS Archive
Provider (PAP) acts like a Service Class
Provider (SCP) in that it receives studies.
However, it differs from an SCP in that the
PAP can automatically register a study as
PACS archived if the study originates from a
source that the PACS stores to and remembers
from, without having to queue the study for
archiving back to the source. The PAP can also
parse the private tags of the incoming DICOM
objects to determine HIS verification and
study status.
