Mandatory Tags for DICOM Instance

I am trying send a DICOM instance (an image in my case) from an application to a server. But somehow it is not Happening.

The logs 开发者_如何学JAVAreveals that some tags were missing.

So what is the list of mandatory tags which are required during a DICOM association (a C-STORE in my case) ?

Which tags are mandatory is a function of what SOP class is used to represent the image. It varies. There are tables in part 3 of the DICOM standard (available at ftp://medical.nema.org/medical/dicom/2009/) which tell you which modules are required. Other documentation for individual tags will tell you if they are Type 1, 1C, 2, 2C, or 3. The Type 3 attributes are optional. The types with a C are mandatory under certain conditions and not mandatory under other conditions. Type 1 is always mandatory and must have a valid value. Type 2 is required to exist but can have a null value.

If you use dcm4chee, there is a dcm4chee/server/default/conf/dcm4chee-attribute-filter.xml with DTD stating following:

Minimal descriptor for DICOM Standard Conformance of Query/Retrieve Service:
  <dcm4chee-attribute-filter>
    <patient>
      <attr tag="00080005"/>
      <attr tag="00100010"/>
      <attr tag="00100020"/>
    </patient>

  <attr tag="00200013"/>
</instance>

If you are sending an DICOM image to server means it is C-STORE, so the server(PACS) which you are using checks for the Transfer syntax UID and also Some Header SOP Instance UID and Class UID, check your dicom tags whether the above stated tags are filled.
