PacsOne Server

Hi,

I just installed PACS one Premium edition.

I have alot of images to import, the only problem is that i have them in a folder structure like this:

X:\paitent1\Dicom\name.dcm
X:\patient2\dicom\name.dcm
and so on.

Is it possible for PACS one to search subdirectories for DICOM folders?
So i dont have to copy and paste each pationt DICOM folder into the import field.

Thanks in advance.

Is the "X:/" drive a local disk or a network-shared storage?

If it's the latter case and you want to import Dicom Part-10 formatted raw image files stored under the shared network drive, you must use the Windows UNC format, e.g., \\remoteHost\remotePath\, instead of the mapped drive letter such as "X:\" directly, when specifying the Source Directory path for the Import operation.

X: was just an example, the actual path i use is a UNC dir, like \\192.168.x.x\patient\....

But its not a problem to import them one at a time, but it would take a million years for me to import them, because the "DICOM" folders are locatet in seperate subfolders.

1. Check and make sure the user account that the Apache web server service is currently running as has sufficient security permission to read from the shared network drive where the Source Directory path of the Import job is located.

2. If you have multiple sub-folders where you want PacsOne Server to import the raw Dicom images, then you can have PacsOne import from the parent folder so that PacsOne will scan and import the raw Dicom images stored under all sub-folders of the specified import source directory.

Apache have permissions.

Well i can't get it to work, let me try to show some screendumps.

As you can see it doesnt search subfolders.

1. You can ignore the Warning message about the missing DICOMDIR as PacsOne Server will parse the raw Dicom Part-10 formatted files under the specified import source directory, instead of using the directory information contained within the DICOMDIR file.

2. From the host where PacsOne Server is installed, open a local File Explorer and check if you can open the same UNC path:

\\192.168.0.70\public\Archive\2007\

If not, then that shared network drive is not accessible from the host where PacsOne is installed, and you need to re-check the security permission.

If the above UNC path is indeed accessible from the Windows File Explorer on the host where PacsOne is installed, then you can first find out the user account you are currently logged in as which has access to that shared network drive, then change the user account Apache web server service is running under to that very same user account (from the Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services, double-click on Apache 2.2 service, click on the "Log On" tab->"Log On As This Account" radio button). Then restart Apache and see if it can now access that shared remote drive.

The UNC path can be opened from a windows explorer, and the share is open for everyone, and i also checked the apache service.

But as i wrote, there is not any raw dicom files ind the "2007" folder, its located in subfolders
fx. 2007\paitientname\dicom.

If i put in the full path of the DICOM folder for the patient it works perfectly, but it takes to much time to import each study manualy.

PacsOne Server will scan all sub-folders under the user-specified Source Directory path during the Import, so if you find the Import works for Source Directory path of "\\192.168.0.70\public\Archive\2007\paitientname\dicom\", but not for "\\192.168.0.70\public\Archive\2007\", then you should check the security permission for the "\\192.168.0.70\public\Archive\2007\paitientname\" sub-folder, as PacsOne Server will not be able to reach its sub-folder if the parent directory is not accessible.

You can also check the log/${AeTitle}/ sub-folder and see if PacsOne Server logged any error during the Import job.

Aaah, just have to be very very patient

It works perfect now, thanks alot for your help.

Have a nice day.

Best Regards
