Import or Upload of Dicom Images

[donminiard]

My Job is IT Manager for a mobile x-ray company. We currently us an on-line pacs system, but I am looking into hosting our own. That is why I have installed PACSOne.

We currently send our Ultrasound studies to my computer in the office and I then upload them to the online pacs. I have tried to upload these received dicom images to PACSOne, but I get an error of Failed to import the following images: and the directory info.


When I try the import feature I get this error:

Warning: fopen(c:/SimpleDicom/DicomImages/DICOMDIR) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:\Program Files\PacsOne\php\importStudy.php on line 53

Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in C:\Program Files\PacsOne\php\importStudy.php on line 54

Invalid DICOMDIR file: c:/SimpleDicom/DicomImages/DICOMDIR.

I am not sure where to go from here.

I have a simple dicom receive application that can receive my file, but not sure how to get them into PACSOne.

Also, what is DICOM Part 10?

Thanks in advance.

When I try the import feature I get this error:

Warning: fopen(c:/SimpleDicom/DicomImages/DICOMDIR) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:\Program Files\PacsOne\php\importStudy.php on line 53

Invalid DICOMDIR file: c:/SimpleDicom/DicomImages/DICOMDIR.

Make sure the file c:/SimpleDicom/DicomImages/DICOMDIR does exist on the server where PacsOne is installed, and it's readble by the user account that Apache is running under (by default it's the Windows builit-in SYSTEM account).

Ok, I understand about the Directory, but the images I want to upload or import do not have a DICOMDIR file.

I receive them by using a Dicom receive program call SimpleDicom Receive. When the images are received, this program puts them in a user defined directory. The program creates a .dcm, .short, .gif and a .txt file but no DICOMDIR file. So how can I import or upload these .dcm files? Or how can I create this DICOMDIR file once the images have been received?

Why can't PACSOne receive images directly without going through another receive program?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can Import images into PacsOne with or without the DICOMDIR file. Just click on the Tools->Import menu, enter the path to the source directory where the raw Dicom images are located.

But you need to make sure the raw Dicom images are Dicom standard Part-10 formatted, as otherwise PacsOne will not be able to import them into the database.
