qie.postDICOMRequest

Signature: qie.postDICOMRequest(request, connection*, channel*, callingAET*)

Returns: Integer responseToken - the response token to use when calling getResponseToDICOMRequest(...)

Posts a DICOM request to the original message sender OR DICOM connection.

Note

This method can only be called from a channel that uses a DICOM listener OR it must specify another channel that uses a DICOM Listener.

Note

The request message object will be updated with the Message ID (0000,0110) and Command Data Set Type (0000,0800) values that are actually used.

Note

See this KB article for additional information about posting DICOM Requests.

Note

connection is optional. When not specified, {original sender} sends the request back over the association the current message arrived on, instead of opening a new one.

Note

channel is optional. When not specified, {current channel} sends the request, so the channel running this script needs a DICOM listener.

Note

callingAET is optional. When not specified, {channel AET} is the AE title of the DICOM listener that sends the request.
