DICOM

Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine

Transfer Syntax

A set of encoding rules that allows Application Entities to unambiguously negotiate the encoding techniques (e.g., Data Element structure, byte ordering, compression) they are able to support, thereby allowing these Application Entities to communicate.                

DIMSE

DICOM Message Service Element - the Application Service Element (both the service and protocol) used by peer DICOM Application Entities for the purpose of exchanging medical images and related information.

SCU

Service Class User - The role played by a DICOM Application Entity (DIMSE-Service-User) that invokes operations and performs notifications on a specific association.

SCP

Service Class Provider: - The role played by a DICOM Application Entity (DIMSE-Service-User) that performs operations and invokes notifications on a specific association.

The DICOM Application Entity that performs the role of the service class user for the DICOM C-STORE service.

Storage SCP

The DICOM Application Entity that performs the role of the service class provider for the DICOM C-STORE service.

Echo SCU

The DICOM Application Entity that performs the role of the service class user for the DICOM C-ECHO service.

Move SCU

Query SCU

The DICOM Application Entity that performs the role of the service class user for the DICOM C-FIND service.

PDU

Protocol Data Unit - The fragment of messages exchanged between peer DICOM Application Entities.

AE Title

Application Entity Title - The representation used to identify the DICOM nodes communicating between each other.

Calling AE Title

The Application Entity (AE) that initiates the DICOM messaging service request. It is based on the Source DICOM Application Name.

Called AE Title

The Application Entity (AE) that is the intended acceptor of the service request. It is based on the Destination DICOM Application Name.
