Andre,

- please tell us which version of wlmscpfs you are using,
- please describe in detail the query you are sending to wlmscpfs,
- please describe in detail the results you are getting from wlmscpfs.

Running wlmscpfs in verbose mode (--verbose) and copying the output into
an email would probably be sufficient to solve the problem.

Please also note that there is a discussion forum about OFFIS DCMTK
which can be used for questions like this: http://forum.dcmtk.org/.

We would be happy to help you with your problem.

Best regards,
Thomas Wilkens
OFFIS

Thank you Thomas,

I will post my question with all the information in the forum.

Regards,

Andre M. Descombes

Hi Thomas,

I am using wlmscpfs v3.5.3 2004-05-2

Here is exactly a capture of the query I am sending and the answer I am
receiving :

The problem is I am getting answers with birth dates that have nothing
to do with what I asked. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Andre M. Descombes

Andre,

you are not doing anything wrong. And the funny thing is, wlmscpfs is
not doing anything wrong either! :-)

The problem you are facing results from the fact that attribute
(0010,0030) PatientsBirthDate is not supported as a matching key
attribute in wlmscpfs. Here is an excerpt from the wlmscpfs.man file
that comes with DCMTK and wlmscpfs:

---cut---

Currently, the wlmscpfs application supports the following attributes as
matching keys:

(0008,0050) AccessionNumber
(0008,0090) ReferringPhysiciansName
(0010,0010) PatientsName
(0010,0020) PatientID
(0010,0040) PatientsSex
(0032,1032) RequestingPhysician
(0038,0010) AdmissionID
(0040,0100) ScheduledProcedureStepSequence
(0008,0060) > Modality
(0040,0001) > ScheduledStationAETitle
(0040,0002) > ScheduledProcedureStepStartDate
(0040,0003) > ScheduledProcedureStepStartTime
(0040,0006) > ScheduledPerformingPhysiciansName
(0040,1001) RequestedProcedureID
(0040,1003) RequestedProcedurePriority

---cut---

In the DICOM standard part 4, section K.6.1.2.2, Table K.6-1 it is
specified that attribute (0010,0030) PatientsBirthDate is only an
__optional__ matching key that does not have to be supported by an SCP,
and that is exactly what wlmscpfs chooses to do: it does not support
this attribute as a matching key attribute. (Hence, wlmscpfs is not
capable of matching patient's birth date information.)

Nevertheless, wlmscpfs supports this attribute as a return key
attribute; here is the corresponding excerpt from wlmscpfs.man:

---cut---

As return keys the following attributes are currently supported by wlmscpfs:

(0008,0005) SpecificCharacterSet
(0008,0050) AccessionNumber
(0008,0080) InstitutionName
(0008,0081) InstitutionAddress
(0008,0090) ReferringPhysiciansName
(0008,1080) AdmittingDiagnosesDescription
(0008,1110) ReferencedStudySequence
(0008,1150) > ReferencedSOPClassUID
(0008,1155) > ReferencedSOPInstanceUID
(0008,1120) ReferencedPatientSequence
(0008,1150) > ReferencedSOPClassUID
(0008,1155) > ReferencedSOPInstanceUID
(0010,0010) PatientsName
(0010,0020) PatientID
(0010,0030) PatientsBirthDate
(0010,0040) PatientsSex
....

---cut---

That is why you are getting this attribute in your response messages.

In general, it should be no problem, though, to change the source code
of wlmscpfs to include matching of patient's birth dates.

Best regards,
Thomas Wilkens

Thank you Thomas!

That is reassuring!

Could you point me to the code where the different matching keys are
determined! I will try to make the changes to the code myself although I'm
far from an expert C++ programmer

The starting point you are looking for is function
WlmDataSourceFileSystem::StartFindRequest(...) which deals with
analyzing the query and preparing the results for the query.

Regarding the integration of the PatientsBirthDate attribute as a
matching key in wlmscpfs, you should also search for
"DCM_ScheduledProcedureStepStartDate" in the source files below dcmwlm.
This attribute (ScheduledProcedureStepStartDate) already _is_ a matching
key in wlmscpfs and everything you need to do to integrate
PatientsBirthDate should be analogous to what is already done for this
attribute.

Best regards,
Thomas Wilkens
OFFIS

Thanks again Thomas!

Regards,

Andre
