iPhone - Retrieving an image from a PACS server

Question

How can I connects to a PACS server and retrieves a DICOM image (i already have 3rd party library to display the image ). How would I proceed ? What messages would I send to the PACS server to say "hello PACS I want this image etc" ???

Is there any library available to connect PACS Server ?

Answer 1

DCMTK is probably the most commonly used library for implementing DICOM applications. You should look at the source code examples of C-GET (or C-MOVE) written using DCMTK. getscu is one such example.
