1 INTRODUCTION1.1 Intended Audience

The user of this document is involved with system integration and/or software design. We assume that the reader is familiar with the terminology and concepts that are used in the DICOM 3.0 standard.

Readers not familiar with DICOM 3.0 terminology should first read the appropriate parts of the DICOM standard itself, prior to reading this conformance statement.

Although the use of this conformance statement in conjunction with the DICOM 3.0 standard is intended to facilitate communication with other medical imaging equipment, it is not sufficient to guarantee, by itself, the inter-operation of the connection. The following issues need to be considered:

1.1.1 Integration

The integration of any device into a system of interconnected devices goes beyond the scope of the DICOM 3.0 standard and this conformance statement when interoperability is desired. The responsibility for analyzing the applications requirements and developing a solution that integrates the Agfa equipment with other vendors systems is the users responsibility and should not be underestimated.

1.1.2 Validation

Testing the complete range of possibilities between the Agfa equipment and non-Agfa devices, before the connection is declared operational, is deemed to be a necessity. The user should ensure that any non-Agfa provider accepts full responsibility for all validation required for their connection with the Agfa equipment. The accuracy of image data once it has crossed the interface between the Agfa equipment and the non-Agfa device as well as the stability of the image data for the intended applications is the responsibility of the non-Agfa provider.

1.1.3 Future Evolution

As the DICOM 3.0 standard evolves to meet the users growing requirements and to incorporate new features and technologies, Agfa will follow the evolution of the standard. This evolution of the standard may require changes to devices that have implemented DICOM 3.0. The user should ensure that any non-Agfa provider, who connects with Agfa devices, also plans future evolution of the DICOM standard. A refusal to do so may reflect in the loss of functionality and/or connectivity between the different products.

1.2 Purpose of this DocumentThis conformance statement specifies the compliance of the Print Management Service Class (PMS) component with the DICOM standard. The Print Management Service Class component is an implementation of the DICOM 3.0 standard for print management. The Print Management Service Class is used to send images to a hardcopy printer for printing on film or paper. The Print Management Service Class is a network print server for the Agfa MG 3000, DRYSTAR 2000 and DRYSTAR 3000.



NOTE:Refer to the Conformance Statements Overview document by visitinghttp://ftp.agfa.com/pub/med/pdf/OVERVIEW.DOC to get an overview of all Conformance Statements and their relationship to one another.

The SCU is responsible for providing the necessary image quality-related attributes to the SCP.

2 IMPLEMENTATION MODEL2.1 Application Data Flow Diagram

Figure 2.1: Implementation model.

2.2 Functional Definitions of AEsWhen the printing is invoked by the SCU AE, the SCU will make use of the SOP classes defined for Print Management which allow the definition of a Film Session with one or more subordinate Film Boxes, which in turn contain one or more subordinate Image Boxes. The SCU controls the printing by manipulating the Print Management SOP Classes by means of DIMSE services.

The Print Management SOP Classes are managed by the PMS (SCP). The PMS (SCP) waits for another DICOM Print Management Service application AE (SCU) to connect. PMS (SCP) will accept Associations with Presentation Context for the Print Management Service Class. Only one printer is connected to a single PMS.

2.3 Sequencing of Real World ActivitiesNot applicable for Real World Activities.

However, a Film Session has to be created before one or more subordinate Film Boxes can be created. In turn, the Film Box has to be created before one or more subordinate Image Boxes can be created.

3 AE SPECIFICATIONSThe PMS accepts printing associations.

3.1 Print Management Service Specifications

3.1.1 Meta SOP Classes & Optional SOP Classes

The PMS provides standard conformance to the following DICOM 3.0 Meta SOP Classes and DICOM 3.0 SOP Classes as SCP:

Meta SOP Class Name SOP Class UIDBasic Grayscale Print Management Meta SOP Class 1.2.840.10008.5.1.1.9Basic Color Print Management Meta SOP Class 1.2.840.10008.5.1.1.18Referenced Grayscale Print Management Meta SOP Class 1.2.840.10008.5.1.1.9.1Referenced Color Print Management Meta SOP Class 1.2.840.10008.5.1.1.18.1

Table 3.1: Meta SOP classes & SOP classes.

NOTE:The PMS SCP will by default only accept an association for the Basic Color Print Management Meta SOP Class or the Referenced Color Print Management Meta SOP Class if the attached device is a DRYSTAR 2000. However, this can be overruled by the configuration of the device.

Support for the "Referenced Grayscale Print Management Meta SOP Class" and the "Referenced Color Print Management Meta SOP Class" also requires support for one or more "Image Storage SOP Classes".

3.1.2 Supported SOP Classes for Basic Grayscale Print Management Meta SOP Class

Support for Basic Grayscale Print Management as SCP also implies support for the following SOP Classes as SCP (refer to Table 3.2). However, the PMS shall not accept individual Presentation Contexts for these SOP Classes, except for the Printer SOP Class.

Table 3.5: Supported SOP Classes for Referenced Color Print Management Meta SOP Class.

NOTE:The VOI LUT Box SOP Class for the Referenced Color Print Management is an Agfa-specific extension.



3.1.6 Supported Image Storage SOP Classes

The following Image Storage SOP Classes, which support Color Images, are also supported as SCP in combination with PMS as SCP (refer to Table 3.6). The PMS will accept individual Presentation Contexts for these SOP Classes. If none is specified, the one specified for the META SOP Class is used.

SOP Class Name SOP Class UIDComputed Radiography Image Storage 1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.1CT Image Storage 1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.2MR Image Storage 1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.4Nuclear Medicine Image Storage (retired) 1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.5Nuclear Medicine Image Storage 1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.20Ultrasound Image Storage (retired) 1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.6Ultrasound Image Storage 1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.6.1Secondary Capture Image Storage 1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.7X-ray Angiographic Image Storage 1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.12.1

Table 3.6: Supported Image Storage SOP Classes for Referenced Color Print Management.

3.1.7 Association Establishment Policies

3.1.7.1 GeneralBefore any SOP Classes can be exchanged between the SCU AE and the PMS (SCP), an association stage takes place to negotiate and exchange the capabilities of the SCU and SCP. The Print Management SCU and SCP establish an Association by using the Association Services of the DICOM Upper Layer. During association establishment, the DICOM Print Management AE negotiates the supported SOP classes. An association needs at least 150 Kbytes on disk quota.

Only the SCU AE shall release an Association. The Association may be aborted by the SCU or by the SCP.

The SCU AE attempts to initiate a new Association for each print session. This means that when no operation is done on the Association, the SCU should release the Association.

One can only send DIMSE messages to instances that are created on the same Association.

The Maximum PDU length for the PDUs offered by the PMS (SCP) is 65542 bytes. This means that the maximum value for a PDU-length field is 65542 bytes.

3.1.7.2 Number of AssociationsThe number of supported Associations depends on the configuration of the printing device, with a maximum of 6 Associations. For DRYSTAR 3000, the maximum number of Associations is equal to 5. No more Associations are accepted if the DRYSTAR 3000 is set offline. However, a printer status OFFLINE is sent if the DRYSTAR 3000 is shut down.

3.1.7.3 Asynchronous NaturePMS (SCP) will only allow one outstanding operation on an Association. The PMS (SCP) can, however, issue an asynchronous N-EVENT message as defined in the supported SOP Classes.

3.1.7.4 Implementation Identifying InformationThe following identifying information is valid:



Implementation Version Name: MG3000_VERSION_3 Implementation Class UID: 1.3.51.0.1.3 DICOM Application Context Name: 1.2.840.10008.3.1.1.1

3.1.8 Association Initiation Policy

Not applicable to the Print Management Service component, because the PMS (SCP) cannot initiate an Association. The PMS as SCU is not implemented.

3.1.9 Association Acceptance Policy

The PMS (SCP) accepts an Association. If the Association is rejected or if all possible Presentation Contexts for the supported Meta SOP Classes are rejected, then the PMS (SCP) generates an error message and sends an abort-request for the Association.

The PMS (SCP) obtains the called_AE_title from the ART configuration table (e.g. apip_dest). This configuration is part of the installation procedure and described in a separate document. The calling_AE_title is used to setup specific configuration parameters. This configuration is also described in a separate document.

All Associations must use the same destination TCP/IP port number.

3.1.9.1 Printing Encoded with Implicit or Explicit VR

3.1.9.1.1 Associated Real World ActivityThe associated Real World Activity is the printing of a set of images that is encoded with any VR and requested over the network.

3.1.9.1.2 Proposed Presentation ContextsAny of the Presentation Contexts shown in the following tables is acceptable for PMS as SCP.

Transfer Syntax UIDDICOM Implicit VR Little Endian Transfer Syntax 1.2.840.10008.1.2DICOM Explicit VR Little Endian Transfer Syntax 1.2.840.10008.1.2.1DICOM Explicit VR Big Endian Transfer Syntax 1.2.840.10008.1.2.2

NOTE:Presentation Context shall use Abstract Syntax IDs that correspond to the SOP Classes UID of the Meta SOP Class specified in the first column of the Presentation Context Table or included SOP Classes. None of the included SOP Classes support extended negotiation.

3.1.9.2 SOP Specific Conformance to Basic Grayscale Print Management Meta SOP Class

Standard conformance is also provided to the DICOM Basic Grayscale Print Management Class (1.2.840.10008.1.1.9) as SCP.

The maximum number of Print Jobs is 1024 (providing that there is sufficient memory/disk allocation). Received attributes that are not supported will not issue an error or warning status code.

3.1.9.2.1 Basic Film Session SOP Class (1.2.840.10008.5.1.1.1)The following DIMSE services are supported: N-CREATE N-SET N-DELETE N-ACTION

All other DIMSE services return the following error code:

Code Status Meaning0211H Error Unrecognized operation

Table 3.9: DIMSE services error code.

N-CREATE: is sent by the SCU AE to create a Basic Film Session SOP instance, when an Association has been established. If N-CREATE fails, the SCP AE will return an error message. The N-CREATE causes the Basic Film Session to be created and its attributes initialized. The Basic Film Session has to be created before the Basic Film Boxes are created.

PMS only supports one Basic Film Session instance on an Association. No other concurrent Film Session shall be created on one Association. However, a sequential Film Session on the same Association is allowed after deleting the previous Film Session.

Refer to the respective film layouts document for more information (e.g. print box sizes) on the different film layouts. For more information on these documents, see Section 7.1.

3.1.9.2.2.1.1 Film Layouts with Annotation Boxes

Agfa film layouts with annotation boxes have a reserved area at the top and bottom of the film for printing annotations. Referring to an Agfa film layout with annotation boxes is done by mapping the DICOM-defined film format information with the corresponding Agfa film format (layout) identifier by means of an ASCII file (extension .IDF). Each line of this mapping file contains the DICOM film format information, with the corresponding Agfa film format ID as follows:

film_size\film_orientation\image_display_formatAgfa_filmformat_id

Any combination of these elements is possible, providing that a matching Agfa film layout ID is available. Available Agfa film layout IDs are listed in Table 3.19.



Table 3.18 provides an overview of the available mapping files for film layouts with annotations for the different Agfa hardcopy devices:

Table 3.19: Agfa film layout IDs with annotations.

3.1.9.2.2.1.2 Film Layouts with max. printable area

It is also possible to use max. printable area film layouts; this means that there is no space foreseen for annotation boxes on these layouts. These max. printable area layouts can be selected in two ways:

By means of the attribute: image_display_format with a value CUSTOM\i. In this case, i is a 3- or 4-digit number that represents the selected Agfa film layout ID.

By mapping the DICOM-defined film format information with the corresponding Agfa film format (layout) identifier, by using the appropriate mapping file (extension .IDF) for these layouts. These mapping files differ from the mapping files used for the default film layouts with annotations. This needs to be configured by Service during installation of the hardcopy device in relation to the AE Title of the host system.

Table 3.20 summarizes the mapping files that only provide a max. printable area for 1/1 layouts. All other layouts are equal to the film layouts with annotation boxes.

Table 3.22: Agfa film layout IDs for max. printable area.

The selection of the used Agfa film layout ID numbers must be decided in consultation with Agfa. Examples:

The attribute values 14INX17IN\PORTRAIT\STANDARD\1,1 select the Agfa layout 1411, if mapping file PMS.IDF is used (DEFAULT behavior). They select the Agfa layout 2411, if mapping file PMS2000.IDF is used (AE Title-dependent configuration).

The attribute values 14INX17IN\LANDSCAPE\CUSTOM\2511 select the Agfa layout 2511. No mapping file is used.

Smoothing Type (2010,000080): the following values for Smoothing Type have a special meaning: "0": - Unsharp smoothing "140": Sharp (Hi-resolution) smoothing

The Smoothing Type attribute, although defined by DICOM with Value Representation type CS, is interpreted as Value Representation type IS by the application. If the Smoothing Type attribute equals "0" or falls within the range "100" to "299" then it is accepted. Otherwise the default Smoothing Type value is used.

If the Magnification Type attribute is "CUBIC" (provided by the SCU AE) and no Smoothing Type attribute is defined, then the default Smoothing Type value is used.



Configuration Information: can be used to define the use of a perception LUT, Annotation Boxes, a Color Separation Table and Window Width/Window Center. The defined parameters need to be separated by the "\" (BACKSLASH) character.

Perception LUT Supported values:

PERCEPTION_LUT=LINEAR: Linear Perception LUTPERCEPTION_LUT=KANAMORI: Kanamori Perception LUTPERCEPTION_LUT=n: LUT defined by value 'n', n is of VR type IS

When "PERCEPTION_LUT=n" is used, 'n' is defined in the range 75 to 220 as follows:

n Meaning< 100 Hyper-Kanamori Curve100 Exact Kanamori Curve (same as "PERCEPTION_LUT=KANAMORI")100 to 200 Curve between Kanamori and Linear200 Exact Linear Curve (same as "PERCEPTION_LUT=LINEAR")> 200 Hypo-Linear Curve

Table 3.23: PERCEPTION_LUT=n.

If no Configuration Information attribute for the Perception LUT is defined by the SCU AE, the default Perception LUT value is taken from the PMS configuration table.The Perception LUT is not used for color images.

Annotation Box Supported values:

ANNOTATION1: FILE1ANNOTATION2: FILE2ANNOTATION3: FILE3ANNOTATION4: FILE4ANNOTATION5: FILE5ANNOTATION6: FILE6

This is used to print e.g. a logo on a film. A maximum of 6 files (in TIFF format) can be defined, depending on the layout chosen (refer to MG3000 documentation). An extension .TIF is added to each annotation filename. A filename is a maximum of 8 characters long. Selecting an annotation requires the annotation file to be present.



If ANNOTATION is set to PATID, then the Patient ID (0010, 0020) is printed (for more information, see Table 3.30 Supported Attributes for Basic Grayscale Image Box).

ANNOTATION1 PATIDANNOTATION2 PATIDANNOTATION3 PATIDANNOTATION4 PATIDANNOTATION5 PATIDANNOTATION6 PATID

Color Separation Supported values:

CS_TABLE = n, where n is defined in the ranges:1 to18 for transparent film (BLUE and CLEAR FILM)101 to 118 for opaque film (PAPER)

Color Separation is used to choose the Color Separation Table in the DRYSTAR 2000.The Color Separation Table (CS_TABLE) is only used for color images. Minimum Density Value, Maximum Density Value and Perception LUT are ignored for color images.

Window Width and Window Center Supported values:

WINDOW_WIDTH=xx\WINDOW_CENTER=yyThis method is film-based and does not allow the setting of Window Width and Window Center attributes on a per-image basis. If the Window Center attribute is present, the Window Width attribute also needs to be present, and vice-versa.The Window Width and Window Center attributes of the Configuration Information element are only applicable to Basic Printing. In addition, the Window Width and Window Center attributes may not be present in the range.

The SCP can return one of the following status codes in case of N-CREATE:

3.1.9.2.3 Basic Grayscale Image Box SOP Class (1.2.840.10008.5.1.1.4)The Basic Grayscale Image Box SOP instance is created by the SCP at the time the Basic Film Box SOP instance is created (N-CREATE). The Basic Grayscale Image Box contains the presentation parameters and image pixel data that apply to a single image of a sheet of film.

The following DIMSE services are supported:

N-SET




N-SET: For each image in the Basic Film Box, the desired attributes of the Basic Image Box should be set. The SCU shall issue a N-SET for the Image Box. The SCP returns a status code. A print command can be issued by the SCU if at least one Basic Image Box is set. Empty Image Box positions are allowed. By using N-SET, the SCU can instruct the SCP to erase the image in the image position by setting a zero length and no value in the attribute Basic Grayscale Image Sequence.

When the value of element (2020,0020) is present but incorrect, the default value of the concerned element(s) is used and no error or warning status code is returned.

NOTE:The PMS can return the warning status code 0116H when the value is present but incorrect (refer to description of status codes in this section and Section 6.3.41).



Besides the above-specified standard attributes, the Preformatted Grayscale Image Sequence can also be extended with the following DICOM attributes. If the Patient ID is present it is used by the PMS application; otherwise an ID generated by the Application is used. If the transformation elements are present, the specified transformations are performed.

If the Window Center attribute is present, the Window Width attribute also needs to be present, and vice versa. If not, an error status is returned. From an analogue viewpoint, if one of the Rescale parameters is present, all three have to be present.
