If you don't have access to any scanners, you can still check the operation of EZGATE and WorkList using the Open Source dcm4che toolkit from SourceForge. The toolkit is loaded onto 10.0.1.13. The following instructions were tested using version 2.0.15 of dcm4che, which is loaded onto 10.0.1.13.
Hint: you can't do a paste directly into a Command Prompt window. Use the menu as shown above.
C:\>cd C:\DICOM Checker\dcm4che-2.0.15\bin C:\DICOM Checker\dcm4che-2.0.15\bin>dcmecho EZPACS@10.0.1.10:105
Here's what you will receive back:
"Perform Verification in -0.141s" (4 lines from the bottom) shows that the Echo was successful.
In the C:\DICOM Checker\dcm4che-2.0.15\bin directory on 10.0.1.13, there is a test file named DICOMTest.DCM, which we will use in the example below.
C:\>cd C:\DICOM Checker\dcm4che-2.0.15\bin C:\DICOM Checker\dcm4che-2.0.15\bin>dcmsnd EZPACS@10.0.1.10:105 DICOMTest.DCM
"Sent 1 objects (=174.03125KB) in 0.078s <=2.1788769MB/s>" (5 lines from the bottom) means the send succeeded and
you will be able to see the image in EZPACS.
To verify that the image was sent, open EZPACS and search for patient 9999994 (6 9s and a 4). You should see
the following:
Right-click the TEST patient then select Reveal in Explorer.
You should see one image per the screen shot below:
Now delete the test files. Right-click the TEST patient then select Delete selected case.
Click the Yes button.
C:\>cd C:\DICOM Checker\dcm4che-2.0.15\bin C:\DICOM Checker\dcm4che-2.0.15\bin>dcmmwl WORKLIST@10.0.1.10:106 -mod=CT -date=20110407
This command will give you all the 14 CT exams scheduled for 4/7/11.
"Received 14 matching entries in 1.953s" is the success message.
If the toolkit is not on 10.0.1.13, you can download it from Sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dcm4che/files/dcm4che2/
Use version 2.0.15 if possible, because we know that works with the instructions above.
