Hello,

I did the following:
I uploaded a custom DICOM file of SOP class "Raw Data Storage". When I now try to find it via a C-Find request, I get issues related to the attributes Rows/Columns.

My C-Find request for a DICOM web implementation just includes these fields in the C-Find request. (see http://dicom.nema.org/medical/dicom/current/output/chtml/part18/sect_6.7.html#table_6.7.1-2b)

I would expect Orthanc to not try to extract these values, if the tags are not present in the file and the file is not of SOP class Image or the like, which does not have these attributes after all.

Here are the logs:
```

```

I would need to include these tags into the query, as I do not know, which instances do match on the server. For those matching, I would like to have the rows and columns in the result, but for the others, I don't mind the value.

Is this a bug in Orthanc or am I misinterpreting something here?
Shouldn't the PACS just skip these values, if not present?

Kind regards,
Harald

The following changeset should solve this issue: https://hg.orthanc-server.com/orthanc/changeset/9b0e67161600a3c83d47f1d592ab9b80385fe5b2

This changeset was part of Orthanc 1.5.5, so please make sure you use the latest version of Orthanc before submitting new problem to this bug tracker: bug 137

This changeset does not fix that problem. Still have the same issues with new version 1.5.6 of Orthanc core. Also #137 still is present.

Please provide a sample DICOM file and command-line instructions so that we can reproduce your issue.

As it seems, the issue is not directly related to the DICOM file itself. Nevertheless, you can use the same file as provided for #137 for testing.

The issue seems to be related to the SQ of the "Requested Attributes Sequence" value.

Orthanc gives the following output on this. It already says, that the sequence is not supported. However, it should not fail because of this I would say.

```

I tried to do the C-FIND now using a fo-dicom client and the dcmtk 3.6.4 findscu client. Both fail when I do include the sequence.
(Note: this is a query as I would fire to get all the attributes required by a QIDO-RS find call on instances level)

When I skip the SQ 0040,0275 with its items, then I get a response.
