According to the DICOM standard, every conformant PACS host should support the default transfer syntax, which is Implicit VR Little Endian [1.2.840.10008.1.2]. However, thanks to our beta testers we found out that this is not always the case.
Some systems don't respect the default transfer syntax and require others for successful transfers. That's why in the latest release candidate version we've added support for multiple transfer syntaxes in PACS communication: Implicit VR LE, Explicit VR LE, Explicit VR BE, JPEG Lossless, JPEG LS Lossless, JPEG 2000 Lossless, JPEG Baseline, JPEG Extended, JPEG LS Lossy, JPEG 2000 Lossy, RLE.
The preferred transfer syntax can be set for each host. Hopefully this version resolves those rare issues with non-conformant PACS nodes.
New features:
- Added support for multiple transfer syntaxes in PACS transfers (previously only Implicit VR LE was supported, which sometimes caused problems with specific PACS implementations).
- The preferred transfer syntax can be set for each of the PACS hosts - go to PACS options and use right mouse button to show a popup menu on the selected host.
Improvements and bug fixes:
- Corrected bug which sometimes caused PACS downloads to end prematurely.
- The default color lookup table for PET fusion was changed from rainbow to hot iron.
- Certain features and toolbar buttons can be disabled in the options.xml file.
