DICOM Nodes List

In the DICOM nodes list, the dictionary items must contain the following key-values:

• AETitle – a string;
• Address – a string, either an IP or a host;
• Port – the node DICOM port, an integer;
• Description – a string;
• QR – a boolean representing whether or not this node should be queried;
• Send – a boolean representing whether or not this node should be sent datasets;
• Transfer Syntax – an integer value representing the preferred transfer syntax:
  • 0 – Explicit Little Endian;
  • 1 – Implicit Little Endian Only;
  • 2 – JPEG 2000 Lossless;
  • 3 – JPEG 2000 Lossy, good quality;
  • 4 – JPEG 2000 Lossy, medium quality;
  • 5 – JPEG 2000 Lossy, low quality;
  • 6 – JPEG Lossless;
  • 7 – JPEG 2000 Lossy, good quality;
  • 8 – JPEG 2000 Lossy, medium quality;
  • 9 – JPEG 2000 Lossy, low quality;
  • 10 – RLE;
  • 11 – JPEG LS Lossless;
  • 12 – JPEG LS Lossy, good quality;
  • 13 – JPEG LS Lossy, medium quality;
  • 14 – JPEG LS Lossy, low quality.

 In PLIST XML, a node would be described as follows:

<dict>
	<key>AETitle</key>
	<string>SAMPLE_AET</string>
	<key>Address</key>
	<string>sample.local</string>
	<key>Port</key>
	<integer>11121</integer>
	<key>Description</key>
	<string>This is a sample DICOM node</string>
	<key>QR</key>
	<true/>
	<key>Send</key>
	<false/>
	<key>Transfer Syntax</key>
	<integer>2</integer>
</dict>

Shared Databases List

In the shared databases list, the dictionary items must contain the following key-values:

• Address – a string, either an IP or a host;
• Port – the node database sharing port, an integer;
• Description – a string;

 In PLIST XML, a node would be described as follows:

<dict>
	<key>Address</key>
	<string>sample.local</string>
	<key>Port</key>
	<integer>15781</integer>
	<key>Description</key>
	<string>This is a sample database sharing node</string>
