Sante DICOM Editor

Open a DICOM file/DICOMDIR/Folder

1) Open a DICOM file from command line
command: <program> <DICOM file's full path>
e.g.: "Sante DICOM Editor.exe" "C:\DICOM Images\CT - Aura CT - Secura\S2IM01.DCM"
(if the file path contains spaces use quotes, like the example).

In that case the program will open the specific file.

2) Open a DICOMDIR file
command: <program> <DICOMDIR's full path>
e.g.: "Sante DICOM Editor.exe" "C:\DICOM Images\CT - Aura CT - Secura\DICOMDIR"

In that case the program opens all the studies of the DICOMDIR

3) Open a folder
command: <program> <folder's full path>
e.g.: "Sante DICOM Editor.exe" "C:\DICOM Images\CT - Aura CT - Secura"
(if the folder path contains spaces use quotes, like the example).

In that case the program displays a dialog box that allows the user to select one or more studies/series to open.

Terminate the program.

command: <program> -stop
e.g.: "Sante DICOM Editor.exe" -stop

This command terminates the program.

Open images from the database.

(if the patient name contains spaces use quotes, like the example).

In that case the program will open the studies of the patient with name JOHN SMITH

2) Query, retrieve and open the studies of a specific patient ID
command: <program> -I <patient ID>
e.g.: "Sante DICOM Editor.exe" -I 009871845

In that case the program will open the studies of the patient with ID 009871845

3) Query, retrieve and open the studies of a specific accession number
command: <program> -N <accession number>
e.g.: "Sante DICOM Editor.exe" -N 145

In that case the program will open the studies of the accession number 145

4) Query, retrieve and open the studies of a specific Study UID
command: <program> -S <study uid>
e.g.: "Sante DICOM Editor.exe" -S 1.3.46.670589.10.1.1.215843

In that case the program will open the studies of the Study UID 1.3.46.670589.10.1.1.215843

5) Query, retrieve and open the studies of a specific Series UID
command: <program> -R <series uid>
e.g.: "Sante DICOM Editor.exe" -R 1.3.46.670589.10.1.1.215842

In that case the program will open the studies of the Series UID 1.3.46.670589.10.1.1.215842

Integration with PACS Servers (query, retrieve and open studies from a DICOM Server).

1) Query, retrieve and open the studies of a specific patient name from a DICOM Server with a specific AE Title
command: <program> -a <ae title> -p <patient name>
e.g.: "Sante DICOM Editor.exe" -a SANTESRV1 -p "JOHN SMITH"
e.g.: "Sante DICOM Editor.exe" -a SANTESRV1 -P "JOHN SMITH"
(if the patient name contains spaces use quotes, like the example).

In that case the program will query, retrieve and open the studies of the patient with name JOHN SMITH from the DICOM Server with AE Title SANTESRV1

If the uppercase switch -P is used, the program first queries the database of the program and if it does not find any result then it queries the remote server.
If the lowercase switch -p is used, the program queries only the remote server.

2) Query, retrieve and open the studies of a specific patient ID from a DICOM Server with a specific AE Title
command: <program> -a <ae title> -i <patient ID>
e.g.: "Sante DICOM Editor.exe" -a SANTESRV1 -i 009871845
e.g.: "Sante DICOM Editor.exe" -a SANTESRV1 -I 009871845

In that case the program will query, retrieve and open the studies of the patient with ID 009871845 from the DICOM Server with AE Title SANTESRV1

If the uppercase switch -I is used, the program first queries the database of the program and if it does not find any result then it queries the remote server.
If the lowercase switch -i is used, the program queries only the remote server.

3) Query, retrieve and open the studies of a specific accession number from a DICOM Server with a specific AE Title
command: <program> -a <ae title> -n <accession number>
e.g.: "Sante DICOM Editor.exe" -a SANTESRV1 -n 145
e.g.: "Sante DICOM Editor.exe" -a SANTESRV1 -N 145

In that case the program will query, retrieve and open the studies of the accession number 145 from the DICOM Server with AE Title SANTESRV1

If the uppercase switch -n is used, the program first queries the database of the program and if it does not find any result then it queries the remote server.
If the lowercase switch -n is used, the program queries only the remote server.

4) Query, retrieve and open the studies of a specific Study UID from a DICOM Server with a specific AE Title
command: <program> -a <ae title> -s <study uid>
e.g.: "Sante DICOM Editor.exe" -a SANTESRV1 -s 1.3.46.670589.10.1.1.215843
e.g.: "Sante DICOM Editor.exe" -a SANTESRV1 -S 1.3.46.670589.10.1.1.215843

In that case the program will query, retrieve and open the studies of the Study UID 1.3.46.670589.10.1.1.215843 from the DICOM Server with AE Title SANTESRV1

If the uppercase switch -S is used, the program first queries the database of the program and if it does not find any result then it queries the remote server.
If the lowercase switch -s is used, the program queries only the remote server.

5) Query, retrieve and open the studies of a specific Series UID from a DICOM Server with a specific AE Title
command: <program> -a <ae title> -r <series uid>
e.g.: "Sante DICOM Editor.exe" -a SANTESRV1 -r 1.3.46.670589.10.1.1.215842
e.g.: "Sante DICOM Editor.exe" -a SANTESRV1 -R 1.3.46.670589.10.1.1.215842

In that case the program will query, retrieve and open the studies of the Series UID 1.3.46.670589.10.1.1.215842 from the DICOM Server with AE Title SANTESRV1

If the uppercase switch -R is used, the program first queries the database of the program and if it does not find any result then it queries the remote server.
If the lowercase switch -r is used, the program queries only the remote server.

Use the C-GET service for file transfers

The program by default uses the C-MOVE/C-STORE for file transfers. For C-GET transfers, the switch -g (without parameters) must be used. e.g.:
"Sante DICOM Editor.exe" -a SANTESRV1 -p "JOHN SMITH" -g
"Sante DICOM Editor.exe" -a SANTESRV1 -i 009871845 -g
"Sante DICOM Editor.exe" -a SANTESRV1 -n 145 -g
"Sante DICOM Editor.exe" -a SANTESRV1 -s 1.3.46.670589.10.1.1.215843 -g
"Sante DICOM Editor.exe" -a SANTESRV1 -r 1.3.46.670589.10.1.1.215842 -g

Configure the DICOM network services

Before the usage of these switches the network must be configured and the AE Title, IP address and port of the DICOM Server must be known to the application.
