7 MERGE DICOM TOOLKIT V RELEASE NOTES Enhancements In addition to updating the toolkit to reflect changes to the DICOM standard, this release also contains the following enhancements: Issue # COM-974 COM-1053 COM-1054 COM-1058 COM-1062 COM-1068 COM-1072 COM-1078 COM-1081 Description Allow the option to not renumber private tags into contiguous sub-groups (as DICOM suggests) when writing out a dataset. This enhancement applies to the C/C++ and.net Merge DICOM Toolkits. Support pass-through mode (raw stream saving, no DICOM validation) in Storage SCP sample. This enhancement applies to all Merge DICOM Toolkits. Allow users to relax DICOM validation when reading a file/stream (ALLOW_INVALID_LENGTH_FOR_VR configuration setting, default NO). This enhancement applies to all Merge DICOM Toolkits. Allow reading from a partial (incomplete) DICOM stream. This enhancement applies to the.net Merge DICOM Toolkit. Exclude private creator code from output message if its private block contains no attributes (when message template from info.pfl is used that includes private tags). This enhancement applies to all Merge DICOM Toolkits. Configure pixel data buffer size so that data larger than 13MB no longer require copying. This enhancement applies to all Merge DICOM Toolkits. Add sample case for the retrieval of the offset table in compression sample. This enhancement applies to the C/C++ Merge DICOM Toolkit. Empty array to be accepted as null value for an attribute. This enhancement applies to the.net Merge DICOM Toolkit. Allow the acceptable called AE title to be configured from predefined list (previously either one defined AE title or any called AE tile was accepted). This enhancement applies to all Merge DICOM Toolkits. Issue numbers can be used to request additional information from your account representative. 7

8 Fixed Issues MERGE DICOM TOOLKIT V RELEASE NOTES Fixed Issues The following updates have been made to the toolkit to reflect changes to the DICOM standard: Issue # COM-628 COM-1051 COM-1052 COM-1063 COM-1076 COM-1077 COM-1083 COM-1088 COM-1089 Description Fixed issue where islast flag was not being set at the end of pixel data in callback function when retrieving encapsulated data without offset table. This update applies to the C/C++ Merge DICOM Toolkit. Fixed issue where MC_Read_Message_To_Tag/MC_Continue_Read_Message() would fail if the stop tag encoding (group, element, VR, length) straddles two PDU buffers. This update applies to all Merge DICOM Toolkits. Fixed issue where an SCP would not return the called Application Entity title correctly. This update applies to the.net Merge DICOM Toolkit. Fixed issue where duplicate message fails if input file has attributes beyond pixel data. This update applies to the C/C++ and.net Merge DICOM Toolkits. Fixed issue where a validation warning was issued incorrectly even though character ( ) is defined in character set (ISO-IR 100). This update applies to the C/C++ Merge DICOM Toolkit. Fixed issue where Unicode SetValue/GetValue functions would fail if (0008,0005) Specific Character Set is missing from the data set. This update applies to the C/C++ Merge DICOM Toolkit. Fixed issue with log file not wrapping around correctly when full (was being reset instead). Fixed issue where the log file from Storage SCP grows indefinitely on Linux/Unix/OSX/ Android systems. This update applies to all Merge DICOM Toolkits. Fixed issue with the support for character set encoding in nested data items (did not observe the specific character set attribute of the enclosing data set). This update applies to the C/C++ Merge DICOM Toolkit. Fixed issue where export of MPEG file incorrectly fails with MC_TOO_FEW_VALUES error code. This update applies to the.net Merge DICOM Toolkit. 8

9 MERGE DICOM TOOLKIT V RELEASE NOTES Fixed Issues Issue # COM-1148 COM-1150 COM-1161 Description Fixed issue where validation did not handle the free-mingling ISO-IR 6 (ASCII) and ISO-IR 149 (Korean) character sets. This update applies to the C/C++ Merge DICOM Toolkit. Fixed issue where the toolkit did not honour unlimited maximum number of outstanding invoked/performed operations (settings of 0) in asynchronous mode. This update applies to the.net Merge DICOM Toolkit. Fixed issue where private attributes with VR of AT cannot be set in message. This update applies to all Merge DICOM Toolkits. COM-1179 Fixed issue where the Java toolkit arbitrarily limits the length of service list name to 33 characters (although the native object supports lengths up to 129 characters). This update applies to all Merge DICOM Toolkits. Issue numbers can be used to request additional information from your account representative. 9

10 Known Issues MERGE DICOM TOOLKIT V RELEASE NOTES Known Issues The following table lists the issues that have been identified but not fixed in this release: Issue # Description Impact Workaround COM-827 MCapplication.startListe ning() fails on Windows 7 and Windows 8 platforms running Java 7. This defect applies to the Java Merge DICOM Toolkit. This is a known issue in Java 7. JDK : No BindException when starting a ServerSocket twice on the same port. The issue can be worked around by running with IPv6 disabled (-Djava.net.preferIPv4Sta ck=true). JDK : No BindException when another program is using the port. COM-1057 When the data is Implicit Little Endian with private sequence, converting UN VR to SQ does not take effect and no exception is raised. This defect applies to the.net Merge DICOM Toolkit. Suggested workaround is to define the private tags that need VR conversion in the DICOM data dictionary (diction.pfl) and generate a new binary data dictionary (mrgcom3.dct). COM-1100 Toolkit database MODALITY_WORKLIST _FIND implementation has attribute with incorrect types. This defect applies to all Merge DICOM Toolkits. If the message template is used, validation of the attributes with wrong types will fail. Use validation, but let the message pass. Or do not use whole message validation, but selective validation, e.g. for attribute value encoding only or for specific attributes only. Issue numbers can be used to request additional information from your account representative. 10
