Property Value

Study Description
Remarks

This property provides human readable descriptions of the Study returned by a query, or relating to an image. It corresponds to attribute (0008, 1030).

The usefulness is limited by the fact that not all equipment provides these descriptions in its SOP instances, and even if it does, they may not be available through Query/Retrieve. For instance the RSNA CTN (up to and including version 2.8) supports the study description, but fails to index and provide the series description.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
