dcmjs-dimse

DICOM DIMSE implementation for Node.js using Steve Pieper's dcmjs library. This library was inspired by fo-dicom and mdcm. Part of the networking code was taken from dicom-dimse.

Note

This effort is a work-in-progress and should not be used for production or clinical purposes.

Install

npm install dcmjs-dimse

Build

npm install
npm run build

Features

• Implements C-ECHO, C-FIND, C-STORE, C-MOVE, C-GET, C-CANCEL, N-CREATE, N-ACTION, N-DELETE, N-EVENT-REPORT, N-GET and N-SET services as SCU and SCP.
• Supports secure DICOM TLS connections and user identity negotiation.
• Allows custom DICOM implementations (Implementation Class UID and Implementation Version).
• Provides asynchronous event handlers for incoming SCP requests.

Examples

C-Echo SCU

const dcmjsDimse = require('dcmjs-dimse');
const { Client } = dcmjsDimse;
const { CEchoRequest } = dcmjsDimse.requests;
const { Status } = dcmjsDimse.constants;

const client = new Client();
const request = new CEchoRequest();
request.on('response', (response) => {
  if (response.getStatus() === Status.Success) {
    console.log('Happy!');
  }
});
client.addRequest(request);
client.on('networkError', (e) => {
  console.log('Network error: ', e);
});
client.send('127.0.0.1', 12345, 'SCU', 'ANY-SCP');

C-Find SCU (Studies)

const dcmjsDimse = require('dcmjs-dimse');
const { Client } = dcmjsDimse;
const { CFindRequest } = dcmjsDimse.requests;
const { Status } = dcmjsDimse.constants;

const client = new Client();
const request = CFindRequest.createStudyFindRequest({ PatientID: '12345', PatientName: '*' });
request.on('response', (response) => {
  if (response.getStatus() === Status.Pending && response.hasDataset()) {
    console.log(response.getDataset());
  }
});
client.addRequest(request);
client.on('networkError', (e) => {
  console.log('Network error: ', e);
});
client.send('127.0.0.1', 12345, 'SCU', 'ANY-SCP');

C-Store SCU

const dcmjsDimse = require('dcmjs-dimse');
const { Client } = dcmjsDimse;
const { CStoreRequest } = dcmjsDimse.requests;

const client = new Client();
const request = new CStoreRequest('test.dcm');
client.addRequest(request);
client.on('networkError', (e) => {
  console.log('Network error: ', e);
});
client.send('127.0.0.1', 12345, 'SCU', 'ANY-SCP');

C-Move SCU

const dcmjsDimse = require('dcmjs-dimse');
const { Client } = dcmjsDimse;
const { CMoveRequest } = dcmjsDimse.requests;
const { Status } = dcmjsDimse.constants;

const client = new Client();
const request = CMoveRequest.createStudyMoveRequest('DEST-AE', studyInstanceUid);
request.on('response', (response) => {
  if (response.getStatus() === Status.Pending) {
    console.log('Remaining: ' + response.getRemaining());
    console.log('Completed: ' + response.getCompleted());
    console.log('Warning: ' + response.getWarnings());
    console.log('Failed: ' + response.getFailures());
  }
});
client.addRequest(request);
client.on('networkError', (e) => {
  console.log('Network error: ', e);
});
client.send('127.0.0.1', 12345, 'SCU', 'ANY-SCP');

C-Get SCU

const dcmjsDimse = require('dcmjs-dimse');
const { Client } = dcmjsDimse;
const { CGetRequest } = dcmjsDimse.requests;
const { CStoreResponse } = dcmjsDimse.responses;
const { Status } = dcmjsDimse.constants;

const client = new Client();
const request = CGetRequest.createStudyGetRequest(studyInstanceUid);
request.on('response', (response) => {
  if (response.getStatus() === Status.Pending) {
    console.log('Remaining: ' + response.getRemaining());
    console.log('Completed: ' + response.getCompleted());
    console.log('Warning: ' + response.getWarnings());
    console.log('Failed: ' + response.getFailures());
  }
});
client.on('cStoreRequest', (request, callback) => {
  console.log(request.getDataset());

  const response = CStoreResponse.fromRequest(request);
  response.setStatus(Status.Success);
  callback(response);
});
client.addRequest(request);
client.on('networkError', (e) => {
  console.log('Network error: ', e);
});
client.send('127.0.0.1', 12345, 'SCU', 'ANY-SCP');
