GE Medical Systems SIGNA PROFILE CONFORMANCE STATEMENT

Real-World Activity, Choose DICOM Ping, consists of an operator selecting
DICOM Ping from the “Network” pull down menu on the local database manager to
check the status of the selected remote DICOM AE.
There is no Real-World activity required for the DICOM Server AE to respond to
an incoming DICOM store, query or retrieve. The DICOM Server AE is always
prepared to respond to a DICOM Store, Query, or Retrieve by any remote DICOM
AE.
The DICOM Server AE will perform the Real-World activity Image Installation after
the remote AE sends an image to the SIGNA PROFILE product.
Once a Query request is received, the DICOM Server AE will search the local
database for all entries that match the keys requested by the Remote DICOM AE
and send back the list of matches. The DICOM Server AE will also respond to an
incoming retrieval request from a Remote AE by sending the image(s) to the
Destination AE.
2.1.2 Functional Definition of AE’s
DICOM Server Application Entity initiates the following operations:
• Initiate an association to a Remote AE for the purpose of sending images to
the Remote AE. If the Remote AE accepts the presentation context applicable
to the image(s) being sent, the DICOM Server AE will send the image(s) to the
receiving Remote AE by invoking C-STORE-RQ operation for each image on
the same association.
• Initiate an association with a Remote AE to query for images on the remote
host. A Study-Root Study-Level C-FIND-RQ request will be sent to the
Remote AE once an association has been established. After all responses are
received, DICOM Server AE will issue a Series-Level C-FIND-RQ request to
get the series for a study in the list. An Image-Level C-FIND-RQ will be issued
for the first series in the series list.
• Send a C-MOVE-RQ request to a Remote AE for retrieve of images after
successful association establishment. The DICOM Server AE’s Storage SCP
will receive the images over a separate association.
• Initiate an association with a Remote AE to verify it’s status with a C-ECHO-
RQ. The Remote AE will report it’s status in a C-ECHO-RSP.
The DICOM Server AE waits for association requests from Remote AEs that wish
to perform the following operations:
• Verification: If a C-ECHO-RQ message is received, the DICOM Server AE will
send back a C-ECHO-RSP message with a status of “success”.
• Image Storage: If a C-STORE-RQ message is received, the DICOM Server
AE will receive the image and try to update the local database. If the image is
stored successfully on storage media and the database updated a status of
“success” will be returned in a C-STORE-RSP message.
• Query: If a C-FIND-RQ message is received the DICOM Server AE will search
the database for the requested attributes and send back a C-FIND-RSP
message containing a match and a status of “pending”. After all matching
records have been sent, a status of “success’ will be returned in a C-FIND-
