NAME

       movescu - DICOM retrieve (C-MOVE) SCU

SYNOPSIS

       movescu [options] peer port [dcmfile-in...]

DESCRIPTION

       The movescu application implements both an SCU for the Query/Retrieve Service Class and an
       SCP for the Storage Service Class. movescu supports retrieve functionality  using  the  C-
       MOVE  message.  It  sends  query  keys  to  an  SCP  and  awaits responses. It will accept
       associations for the purpose of receiving images sent as a result of the  C-MOVE  request.
       The  application can be used to test SCPs of the Query/Retrieve Service Class. The movescu
       application can initiate the transfer of images to a third party or can retrieve images to
       itself.  Note that the use of the term 'move' is a misnomer. The C-MOVE operation actually
       performs an image copy (no images will be deleted from the SCP).

NOTES

       Each file supplied on the command line will be sent  to  the  SCP  as  part  of  a  C-MOVE
       request. The query file must be a valid DICOM data set containing the dataset part of a C-
       MOVE-RQ message. The query file could, for instance, be created with the dump2dcm  utility
       from a script like the following example:

       # request all images for the patient with ID=PAT001
       (0008,0052) CS [PATIENT]     # QueryRetrieveLevel
       (0010,0020) LO [PAT001]      # PatientID

       Individual  attributes  of each file sent can be modified or supplemented using the -k (or
       --key) option. For example the command:

       movescu -k 0010,0020=PAT002 caesar 5678 patqry.dcm

       will, when sent to the SCP caesar at TCP/IP port 5678, cause any  PatientID  attribute  in
       patqry.dcm  to  have  the  value  'PAT002'.  If  such  an  attribute is present it will be
       replaced, if absent it will be inserted. The -k option can be present more than once.  The
       value  part  (after  the  '=')  may  be  absent causing the attribute to be sent with zero
       length. It is not possible to replace or insert attributes within sequences using  the  -k
       option.

       If  no  file is specified on the command line, the query must be specified completely with
       one or more -k options. If multiple query files are provided, movescu will  send  multiple
       C-MOVE requests to the SCP.

       For all uses of movescu, the SCP must be configured to 'know' about the AE title where the
       images are to be transmitted. This is required since the C-MOVE request only contains  the
       AE  Title  of  the  target  and  the SCP must be able to convert this AE Title into TCP/IP
       address and port number in order to actually send the images over a separate association.

       The C-MOVE operation of the Query/Retrieve Service Class is  able  retrieve  images  (when
       option --port is used) or to initiate a copy of images to a third party.

   Known Problems
       movescu  is intended to be used as a testing tool for DICOM software developers. The query
       keys file must be created by hand based upon the contents of the SCP.

       The movescu application makes no attempt to prevent incorrect queries. In particular,  the
       query  keys  of  a C-MOVE request should only contain the QueryRetrieveLevel attribute and
       one or more  of  the  so-called  'unique  key  attributes'  (PatientID,  StudyInstanceUID,
       SeriesInstanceUID and SOPInstanceUID).

       In  case  the storage client does not end the connection while movescu is playing the role
       of the storage server (i. e. the --port is used) but the client instead expects movescu to
       close down the storage connection, movescu will wait infinitely. In that case movescu will
       neither close the association that was used to issue the  C-MOVE  request  to  the  C-MOVE
       server.

   DICOM Conformance
   SCU Conformance
       The movescu application supports the following SOP Classes as an SCU:

       MOVEPatientRootQueryRetrieveInformationModel         1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.2.1.2
       MOVEStudyRootQueryRetrieveInformationModel           1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.2.2.2
       MOVEPatientStudyOnlyQueryRetrieveInformationModel    1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.2.3.2

       The  movescu  application will propose presentation contexts for one of the abovementioned
       supported SOP Classes depending on the command line options (-P, -S, or -O). It will  also
       propose  the  corresponding  SOP  Class from the following list, although it is not really
       used (this is a relict of the RSNA'93 demonstration):

       FINDPatientRootQueryRetrieveInformationModel         1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.2.1.1
       FINDStudyRootQueryRetrieveInformationModel           1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.2.2.1
       FINDPatientStudyOnlyQueryRetrieveInformationModel    1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.2.3.1

       For outgoing associations, the following transfer syntaxes are supported:

       LittleEndianImplicitTransferSyntax                   1.2.840.10008.1.2
       LittleEndianExplicitTransferSyntax                   1.2.840.10008.1.2.1
       DeflatedExplicitVRLittleEndianTransferSyntax         1.2.840.10008.1.2.1.99 (*)
       BigEndianExplicitTransferSyntax                      1.2.840.10008.1.2.2

       (*) if compiled with zlib support enabled (see --version output)

       Which transfer syntaxes are actually proposed in what order, can  be  specified  with  the
       --propose options.

       The  movescu  application  will  usually  accept  presentation  contexts  for  all  of the
       abovementioned supported SOP Classes using any of the following transfer syntaxes:

       LittleEndianImplicitTransferSyntax                   1.2.840.10008.1.2
       LittleEndianExplicitTransferSyntax                   1.2.840.10008.1.2.1
       BigEndianExplicitTransferSyntax                      1.2.840.10008.1.2.2

       When acting as an SCP, the movescu application will prefer  transfer  syntaxes  having  an
       explicit encoding over the default implicit transfer syntax. If movescu is running on big-
       endian hardware it will prefer BigEndianExplicit to LittleEndianExplicit  transfer  syntax
       (and  vice  versa).  This  behavior  can be changed with the --prefer options (see above).
       Using option --accept-all any of the following transfer syntaxes is supported:

       LittleEndianImplicitTransferSyntax                   1.2.840.10008.1.2

       (*) if compiled with zlib support enabled (see --version output)

       The movescu application does not support extended negotiation.

   Access Control
       When compiled on Unix platforms with TCP wrapper support, host-based access control can be
       enabled  with  the  --access-control  command line option. In this case the access control
       rules defined in the system's host access control tables for  movescu  are  enforced.  The
       default   locations   of   the   host  access  control  tables  are  /etc/hosts.allow  and
       /etc/hosts.deny. Further details are described in hosts_access(5).

EXAMPLES

       movescu --patient --port 9876 --move TEST_AE --call ARCHIVE caesar 104 q.dcm

       sends the attributes contained in the DICOM file 'q.dcm' as part of a  C-MOVE  request  to
       application  entity  ARCHIVE  on  the host caesar at port 104 using the Patient Root query
       model. movescu itself uses the default AE title MOVESCU. The C-MOVE request will  specifiy
       that  images  should  be  transferred  to the destination AE title TEST_AE (via the --move
       option). How the SCP interprets this request depends on its  configuration.  movescu  will
       listen  on  part  9876  for incoming associations in order to receive the requested images
       from the SCP.

       Images can be copied to a third party by using a  different  destination  AE  title  (e.g.
       --move  ANOTHER_AE). Of course, the SCP must 'know' this AE title and the destination must
       be acting as an SCP of the Storage Service Class (the storescp application can be used for
       this purpose).

LOGGING

       The level of logging output of the various command line tools and underlying libraries can
       be specified by the user. By default, only errors and warnings are written to the standard
       error  stream.  Using option --verbose also informational messages like processing details
       are reported. Option --debug can be used to get more details  on  the  internal  activity,
       e.g.  for  debugging  purposes.  Other  logging levels can be selected using option --log-
       level. In --quiet mode only fatal errors are reported. In such very severe  error  events,
       the  application will usually terminate. For more details on the different logging levels,
       see documentation of module 'oflog'.

       In case the logging output should be written to file (optionally with  logfile  rotation),
       to  syslog  (Unix)  or  the  event  log  (Windows)  option  --log-config can be used. This
       configuration file also allows for directing only certain messages to a particular  output
       stream  and  for  filtering certain messages based on the module or application where they
       are generated. An example configuration file is provided in <etcdir>/logger.cfg.

COMMAND LINE

       All command line tools use the following notation for parameters: square brackets  enclose
       optional  values  (0-1),  three  trailing  dots  indicate that multiple values are allowed
       (1-n), a combination of both means 0 to n values.

       Command line options are distinguished from parameters by  a  leading  '+'  or  '-'  sign,
       respectively. Usually, order and position of command line options are arbitrary (i.e. they
       can appear anywhere). However, if options are mutually exclusive the rightmost  appearance
       is used. This behavior conforms to the standard evaluation rules of common Unix shells.

       In  addition,  one or more command files can be specified using an '@' sign as a prefix to
       the filename (e.g. @command.txt). Such a command argument is replaced by  the  content  of
       the corresponding text file (multiple whitespaces are treated as a single separator unless
       they appear between two quotation marks) prior to any further evaluation. Please note that
       a  command  file  cannot  contain another command file. This simple but effective approach
       allows one to summarize common combinations of options/parameters and avoids  longish  and
       confusing command lines (an example is provided in file <datadir>/dumppat.txt).

ENVIRONMENT

       The  movescu  utility  will  attempt  to  load  DICOM  data  dictionaries specified in the
       DCMDICTPATH environment variable. By default, i.e. if the DCMDICTPATH environment variable
       is  not  set,  the  file <datadir>/dicom.dic will be loaded unless the dictionary is built
       into the application (default for Windows).

       The default behavior should be preferred and the  DCMDICTPATH  environment  variable  only
       used when alternative data dictionaries are required. The DCMDICTPATH environment variable
       has the same format as the Unix shell PATH  variable  in  that  a  colon  (':')  separates
       entries. On Windows systems, a semicolon (';') is used as a separator. The data dictionary
       code will attempt to load each file specified in the DCMDICTPATH environment variable.  It
       is an error if no data dictionary can be loaded.
