Sante DICOM Viewer 3D Pro

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 Viewer 3D Pro.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 Viewer 3D Pro.exe "C:\DICOM Images\CT - Aura CT – Secura\DICOMDIR"
(if the DICOMDIR path contains spaces use quotes, like the example).

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 Viewer 3D Pro.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 Viewer 3D Pro.exe –stop

This command terminates the program.

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 Viewer 3D Pro.exe –a SANTESRV1 –p "JOHN SMITH"
e.g.: Sante DICOM Viewer 3D Pro.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 Viewer 3D Pro.exe –a SANTESRV1 –i 009871845
e.g.: Sante DICOM Viewer 3D Pro.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 Viewer 3D Pro.exe –a SANTESRV1 –n 145
e.g.: Sante DICOM Viewer 3D Pro.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 Tiltle
command: <program> –a <ae title> –s <study uid>
e.g.: Sante DICOM Viewer 3D Pro.exe –a SANTESRV1 –s 1.3.46.670589.10.1.1.215843.934290.856
e.g.: Sante DICOM Viewer 3D Pro.exe –a SANTESRV1 –S 1.3.46.670589.10.1.1.215843.934290.856

In that case the program will query, retrieve and open the studies of the Study UID 1.3.46.670589.10.1.1.215843.934290.856 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 Tiltle
command: <program> –a <ae title> –r <series uid>
e.g.: Sante DICOM Viewer 3D Pro.exe –a SANTESRV1 –r 1.3.46.670589.10.1.1.215843.93429.616359
e.g.: Sante DICOM Viewer 3D Pro.exe –a SANTESRV1 –R 1.3.46.670589.10.1.1.215843.93429.616359

In that case the program will query, retrieve and open the studies of the Series UID 1.3.46.670589.10.1.1.215843.93429.616359 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.

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.
