Learn how to enable the DIMSE service and add a DICOM peer in Flywheel to import data from Flywheel via a DIMSE service. This article also explains the supported DIMSE operations.
In order for Flywheel data to be accessed by a DIMSE peer, that application must be registered in Flywheel. To register your application and add it as a DICOM peer:
-
Sign in to Flywheel as a Site Admin.
-
Click Devices.
-
Select the DICOM Peers tab.
-
Click New DICOM Peer.
-
Enter the following information about the application you want to use to import Flywheel data:
-
AE Title
-
IP/Hostname
-
Port
-
- Click Test Connection to test your connection via C-Echo.
- Click Add
Deleting a peer from this list stops the application from accessing Flywheel data. This action can not be undone.
The DIMSE service is enabled for projects in Flywheel.
-
Click Projects.
-
Choose a project.
-
Click on the Permissions tab.
-
Under Services, click Enable DIMSE Service.
-
Note the Flywheel information to enter. See your application's documentation for more information on how to add Flywheel as a peer.
Flywheel supports the following DIMSE operations:
-
C-Find: Use to query Flywheel information. This operation will query on AE Title and return all DICOMS associated with the corresponding Flywheel project.
-
C-Move: Use to push Flywheel DICOM data to destination. This can operation supports selecting some or all available DICOMs
- C-GET: Similar to C-Move with some possible performance improvements in legacy systems
-
C-Echo: This is used by Flywheel to verify end-to-end communications with a peer DIMSE-service-user.
Notes
A Flywheel user can also trigger DICOM file transfer to a remote DICOM server from Flywheel directly using the dicom-send gear. More information on the dicom-send gear can be found here.
