Programming with PACS Client Framework

When using the PACS Client Framework, the first step must be to call DicomEngine.Startup in order to initialize the data required by the library. This is usually done at the beginning of the application. When the library is no longer needed, DicomEngine.Shutdown must be called to release the data. This is usually done when the application needs to shutdown. The following topics provide a systematic approach to understanding how to program with the PACS Client Framework Library.

The QueryRetrieveScu class simplifies the process of building a standard Study Root Query/Retrieve Model Service Class User (Study Root Query/Retrieve SCU) support to an application. Its members handle all query attributes used in the Study Root Query/Retrieve Service Class as a service class user. It also provides interfaces (BeforeAssociateRequest and BeforeCFind Events) to easily add support for other Query/Retrieve Services such as Modality Worklist, Patient Root Query/Retrieve, General Purposes Worklist, etc. The QueryRetrieveScu class provides the following methods for doing a DICOM query or retrieve operation.
