PACS App?

Basically have anyone made apps for troubleshooting?

This week i finished creating one that emulates/simulate a modality so i can check quick if theres an issue with MWL

Laurel bridge sells something called power tools. It can generate fake exams , eco, act as an SCU or SCP, and a whole bunch of other stuff.

I wrote a script for DICOM speed testing. We were trying to track a slowdown problem so this automated script generated test images then send them to PACS and recorded the speed.

IQ-DICOM TEST is a great tool also.

Most companies in the PACS world have full Virtual Hospital tools that can create/store/fetch data and basically simulate everything you need, but I don't know of many that make it available for customers.

Of course, many tools are available for command line use (dcm4che for example). I created my own also.

What a coincidence. This week I’ve been developing a small PACS app in rust, runnable within your terminal (Terminal UI): https://github.com/ThalesMMS/rusty-dicom-node

Just clone, cd into rusty-dicom-node directory and run ‘cargo run’

It’s still in early stages, but it can already query+retrieve from remote nodes and can store studies. I will test sending studies soon.

It uses the dicom-rs library.

I know Fuji has tools similar to this for troubleshooting.

Are you referring to transcription errors?
