NAME
       getscu -	DICOM retrieve (C-GET) SCU

SYNOPSIS
       getscu [options]	peer port [dcmfile-in...]

DESCRIPTION
       The getscu application implements an SCU	for the	Query/Retrieve Service
       Class.  getscu supports retrieve	functionality using the	C-GET message.
       It sends	query keys to an SCP and waits for responses  with  images  or
       other  DICOM objects sent via C-STORE. As the DICOM service demands, C-
       GET and the accompanying	C-STORE	 messages  are	handled	 on  the  same
       association.  Therefore,	 objects can only be received by getscu	itself
       and cannot be sent to a third party (movescu would be  the  right  tool
       for this	task).

NOTES
       Each  file supplied on the command line will be sent to the SCP as part
       of a C-GET request. The query file must	be  a  valid  DICOM  data  set
       containing  the	dataset	 part  of  a  C-GET-RQ message.	The query file
       could, for instance, be created with the	dump2dcm utility from a	script
       like the	following example:

       # request all images for	the patient with ID=PAT001
       (0008,0052) CS [PATIENT]	    # QueryRetrieveLevel
       (0010,0020) LO [PAT001]	    # PatientID

       Another possibility is to use the dcmodify tool to create a  file  from
       scratch	using  the  option  --create-file with successive calls	to the
       --insert	option.	Individual attributes can be modified or  supplemented
       using the -k (or	--key) option. For example the command:

       getscu -k "0010,0020=PAT002" caesar 5678	patqry.dcm

       will,  when  sent  to  the  SCP	caesar	at TCP/IP port 5678, cause any
       PatientID attribute in patqry.dcm to have the value 'PAT002'.  If  such
       an  attribute  is  present  it  will  be	replaced, if absent it will be
       inserted. The -k	option can be present more than	once. The  value  part
       (after  the  '=')  may  be absent causing the attribute to be sent with
       zero length. It is also possible	to specify sequences, items and	nested
       attributes using	the -k	option.	 In  these  cases,  a  special	'path'
       notation	 has  to  be  used.  Details  can  be  found  in  the dcmodify
       documentation.

       If no file is  specified	 on  the  command  line,  the  query  must  be
       specified  completely  with  one	 or more -k options. If	multiple query
       files are provided, getscu will send multiple  C-GET  requests  to  the
       SCP.

   Known Problems
       getscu  is  intended  to	 be  used as a testing tool for	DICOM software
       developers. The query keys file must be created by hand based upon  the
       contents	of the SCP.

       C-GET  is not supported by all Query/Retrieve SCPs. The C-MOVE protocol
       which is	implemented by the movescu tool	 is  more  commonly  found  in
       practice.

       The  getscu  application	makes no attempt to prevent incorrect queries.
       In particular, the query	keys of	a C-MOVE request should	 only  contain
       the  QueryRetrieveLevel	attribute  and	one  or	 more of the so-called
       'unique key attributes' (PatientID, StudyInstanceUID, SeriesInstanceUID
       and SOPInstanceUID).

   DICOM Conformance
   SCU Conformance
       The getscu application supports the following SOP Classes as an SCU:

       GETPatientRootQueryRetrieveInformationModel	    1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.2.1.3
       GETStudyRootQueryRetrieveInformationModel	    1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.2.2.3
       GETPatientStudyOnlyQueryRetrieveInformationModel	    1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.2.3.3

       The getscu application will propose presentation	contexts  for  one  of
       the  abovementioned  supported  SOP  Classes  depending on command line
       options (-P, -S,	or  -O).  For  outgoing	 associations,	the  following
       transfer	syntaxes are supported:

       LittleEndianImplicitTransferSyntax		    1.2.840.10008.1.2
       LittleEndianExplicitTransferSyntax		    1.2.840.10008.1.2.1
       DeflatedExplicitVRLittleEndianTransferSyntax	    1.2.840.10008.1.2.1.99 (*)
       BigEndianExplicitTransferSyntax			    1.2.840.10008.1.2.2

       (*) if compiled with zlib support enabled (see --version	output)

       Which  transfer	syntaxes  are  actually	proposed in what order,	can be
       specified with the --propose options.

       The getscu application will usually accept  presentation	 contexts  for
       all  of	the  abovementioned  supported	SOP  Classes  using any	of the
       following transfer syntaxes:

       LittleEndianImplicitTransferSyntax		    1.2.840.10008.1.2
       LittleEndianExplicitTransferSyntax		    1.2.840.10008.1.2.1
       BigEndianExplicitTransferSyntax			    1.2.840.10008.1.2.2

       When acting as a	 storage  SCP,	the  getscu  application  will	prefer
       transfer	syntaxes having	an explicit encoding over the default implicit
       transfer	 syntax.  If  getscu is	running	on big-endian hardware it will
       prefer BigEndianExplicit	to LittleEndianExplicit	transfer  syntax  (and
       vice  versa).  This  behavior  can be changed with the --prefer options
       (see  above).  Depending	 on  the  --prefer  option  actually  used,  a
       combination of the following transfer syntaxes is supported:

       The getscu application does not support extended	negotiation.

EXAMPLES
       getscu --patient	--call ARCHIVE caesar 104 q.dcm

       sends  the  attributes contained	in the DICOM file 'q.dcm' as part of a
       C-GET request to	application entity ARCHIVE on the host caesar at  port
       104  using the Patient Root query model.	getscu itself uses the default
       AE title	GETSCU.

       In contrast to C-MOVE-based Query/Retrieve SOP Classes, the C-GET-based
       SOP Classes utilized by	getscu	only  permit  retrieving  the  desired
       objects	on  the	 same connection, i.e. getscu will receive the objects
       itself. Thus, it	is not possible	 to  tell  the	SCP  to	 transmit  the
       objects	to  a  third party. This is a limitation of the	DICOM protocol
       and not of the getscu tool.

LOGGING
       The level of logging output of  the  various  command  line  tools  and
       underlying  libraries  can  be  specified by the	user. By default, only
       errors and warnings are written to the  standard	 error	stream.	 Using
       option  --verbose  also	informational messages like processing details
       are reported. Option --debug can	be used	to get	more  details  on  the
       internal	 activity,  e.g.  for debugging	purposes. Other	logging	levels
       can be selected using option --log-level. In --quiet  mode  only	 fatal
       errors  are reported. In	such very severe error events, the application
       will usually terminate. For  more  details  on  the  different  logging
       levels, see documentation of module 'oflog'.

       In  case	 the logging output should be written to file (optionally with
       logfile rotation), to syslog (Unix) or the event	log  (Windows)	option
       --log-config  can  be  used.  This  configuration  file also allows for
       directing only certain messages to a particular output stream  and  for
       filtering  certain  messages  based  on the module or application where
       they are	generated.  An	example	 configuration	file  is  provided  in
       <etcdir>/logger.cfg.

COMMAND	LINE
       All  command  line  tools  use  the  following notation for parameters:
       square brackets enclose optional	 values	 (0-1),	 three	trailing  dots
       indicate	 that multiple values are allowed (1-n), a combination of both
       means 0 to n values.

       Command line options are	distinguished from parameters by a leading '+'
       or '-' sign, respectively. Usually, order and position of command  line
       options	are  arbitrary	(i.e.  they  can appear	anywhere). However, if
       options are mutually exclusive the rightmost appearance is  used.  This
       behavior	 conforms  to  the  standard  evaluation  rules	of common Unix
       shells.

       In addition, one	or more	command	files can be specified	using  an  '@'
       sign  as	 a  prefix to the filename (e.g. @command.txt).	Such a command
       argument	is replaced by the content  of	the  corresponding  text  file
       (multiple  whitespaces  are  treated  as	a single separator unless they
       appear between two quotation marks) prior to  any  further  evaluation.
       Please  note  that  a command file cannot contain another command file.
       This simple but effective  approach  allows  one	 to  summarize	common
       combinations  of	 options/parameters  and  avoids longish and confusing
       command lines (an example is provided in	file <datadir>/dumppat.txt).

ENVIRONMENT
       The getscu  utility  will  attempt  to  load  DICOM  data  dictionaries
       specified  in the DCMDICTPATH environment variable. By default, i.e. if
       the  DCMDICTPATH	 environment   variable	  is   not   set,   the	  file
       <datadir>/dicom.dic  will be loaded unless the dictionary is built into
       the application (default	for Windows).

       The  default  behavior  should  be  preferred   and   the   DCMDICTPATH
       environment  variable  only used	when alternative data dictionaries are
       required. The DCMDICTPATH environment variable has the same  format  as
       the  Unix  shell	PATH variable in that a	colon (':') separates entries.
       On Windows systems, a semicolon (';') is	used as	a separator. The  data
       dictionary  code	 will  attempt	to  load  each	file  specified	in the
       DCMDICTPATH environment variable. It is an error	if no data  dictionary
       can be loaded.
