DcmPh
=====

[](#dcmph)

A library/wrapper for findscu.

What can I use it for ?
-----------------------

[](#what-can-i-use-it-for-)

It is possible to use these libraries to retrieve information from a PACS. You can read tests/simple\_test.php to see how easy it is accessing your data from your PACS. Just an example:

```
use HalSoft\DcmPh\Query\PatientQuery;
use HalSoft\DcmPh\Query\StudyQuery;

$called_aet = "TESTSERVER";
$pacs_ip = "www.dicomserver.co.uk";
$pacs_port = 104;
$calling_aet = "LOCALAET";

//Create a new patient query
$pq = new PatientQuery($called_aet, $pacs_ip, $pacs_port, $calling_aet);
//Find all patients who's name's like JOHN^
$patients = $pq->findPatientsByName('JOHN^');

//Create a new study query
$stq = new StudyQuery($called_aet, $pacs_ip, $pacs_port, $calling_aet);
//Find all studies for the patient whose id is 2222.2222
$studies = $stq->findStudiesByPatientId('2222.2222');
```

In this way it is easy to retrieve the information needed to retrieve wado objects:

- studyUID (StudyInstanceUID)
- seriesUID (SeriesInstanceUID)
- objectUID (SOPInstanceUID)

Disclaimer
----------

[](#disclaimer)

This library is really at its early stage. HANDLE WITH CARE!

If you want to use it, you must have findscu and dcm2xml from  and available in your path.

The library must have write permission (to save dcm files).

Todo's
------

[](#todos)

The library use dcm2xml and simple-xml to read dicom files.

I think that I the near future it'll use (nanodicom)\[\] to read dicom files. But I'm not sure for two reasons:

- the last commit is aged 1 year
- nanodicom is quite complete, it uses a huge and complete Dicom dictionary while I'd prefere to keep DcmPh....lighter

License
-------

[](#license)
