How to send MPPS

[n***@gmail.com]

Hi,

I am new to DICOM and FO-DICOM.

I am querying the MWL using DicomCFindRequest.CreateWorklistQuery(patientId: patID);

After I get the result back from the MWL I want to send MPPS.
So what I did is sending MPPS using:
DicomNCreateRequest(DicomUID.ModalityPerformedProcedureStepSOPClass,EffectedInstanceUID???);
My questions:
1) How todo MPPS from the return MWL query.
2) What is the "EffectedInstanceUID"? is it the MWL StudyInstanceUID?


Thank Noah

Hi Noah,

ad 1) See http://dicom.nema.org/medical/dicom/current/output/html/part17.html#chapter_J

ad 2) I suppose you mean the AffectedSOPInstanceUID (0000,1000). This is a UID your MPPS SCU must/should create (that is a longer story, better make sure and create one of your own) and send to the server with the N-CREATE-Request. The UID identifies the instance of the MPPS, so you should use the same one when sending the correspondung update via N-SET.

HTH
