G.4.2.3.3 Association Initiation Policy

FIND-SCU attempts to initiate a new association when a study is received for which an appropriate Hanging Protocol Instance is not already stored in the local database.

G.4.2.3.3.1 Activity - Query Remote AE
G.4.2.3.3.1.1 Description and Sequencing of Activities

A single attempt will be made to query the remote AE. If the query fails, for whatever reason, no retry will be performed.

FIND-SCU will propose multiple Presentation Contexts, one for each of the supported Transfer Syntaxes, and an additional Presentation Context with all of the supported Transfer Syntaxes, in order to determine which Transfer Syntaxes the remote SCP supports, and which it prefers.

G.4.2.3.3.1.2.1 Extended Negotiation

No extended negotiation is performed.

G.4.2.3.3.1.3 SOP Specific Conformance
G.4.2.3.3.1.3.1 SOP Specific Conformance to C-FIND SOP Classes

FIND-SCU provides standard conformance to the supported C-FIND SOP Class.

The following applies to Hanging Protocol Information Model C-FIND.

If present in the response, Specific Character Set will be used to identify character sets other than the default character set for matching between Hanging Protocol and Image Instances.

G.4.2.3.3.1.3.2 Presentation Context Acceptance Criterion

FIND-SCU does not accept associations.

G.4.2.3.3.1.3.3 Transfer Syntax Selection Policies

FIND-SCU prefers explicit Transfer Syntaxes. If offered a choice of Transfer Syntaxes in the accepted Presentation Contexts, it will apply the following priority to the choice of Presentation Context to use for the C-FIND operation:

  1. first encountered explicit Transfer Syntax,

  2. default Transfer Syntax.

G.4.2.3.3.1.3.4 Response Status

FIND-SCU will behave as described in Table G.4.2-19 in response to the status returned in the C-FIND response command message(s).

Identifier stored temporarily for use in setting up Retrieve.

Matches are continuing - Warning that one or more Optional Keys were not supported for existence and/or matching for this Identifier

FF01

Identifier stored temporarily for use in setting up Retrieve
