COMPRESSION
ConQuest supports a lot of compression and downsizing methods. These can be declared in
the acrnema.map file, using directives DroppedFileCompression, IncomingCompression and
ArchiveCompression in dicom.ini file and/or by using modifiers to AE Title (check AE TITLE
section below).
The following information was extracted from section 7.7 of the manual (file
/user/share/doc/conquest-dicom-server/windowsmanual.pdf.gz in this package):
Files dropped into the server will optionally be compressed, decompressed and/or
recompressed. Supported values are (expected compression ratio stated between brackets):
as store images as is, e.g. without changing the compression.
is store images as is, e.g. without changing the compression.
un uncompress NKI and/or JPEG compressed images
n1 fast NKI private loss-less compression mode 1 (50%)
n2 as n1 but with CRC check for errors (50%)
n3 fast NKI private loss-less compression mode 3 (40%)
n4 as n3 but with CRC check for errors (40%)

AE TITLE
The default AE Title for ConQuest DICOM server in this package is CONQUESTSRV1 and this is
the AE Title you should use in DICOM viewers pointing to it. As a "bonus" feature, you can
use AE Title to declare the type of compression you'll be using between the viewer and the
server. just add ~XX to ConQuest AE Title, where XX is the compression algo/level you wish
to use. For instance, to use uncompressed images, the AE Title CONQUESTSRV1~un can be
declared in your DICOM node configuration in the viewer.
FILES
All of the locations below can be configured in dicom.ini file. In this package ConQuest
expects dicom.ini to be present in the /etc/conquest-dicom-server directory. This can be
changed using -w option (see OPTIONS above).
/etc/conquest-dicom-server/dicom.ini
