| 658 | 3 What does the series completion status mean? |
| 4 ============================================ | |
| 192 | 5 |
| 658 | 6 Each DICOM series is assigned a completion status by Orthanc. This |
| 7 completion status can list as ``Unknown``, ``Missing``, | |
| 8 ``Inconsistent`` or ``Complete``. | |
| 192 | 9 |
| 658 | 10 The status is meant to convey the completeness of the series, as known |
| 11 by Orthanc. | |
| 192 | 12 |
| 658 | 13 As a general rule, since there is no generic DICOM tag that contains |
| 14 the number of DICOM instances that are contained in a given series, | |
| 15 and since there is no generic tag that contains the index of a DICOM | |
| 16 instance inside its parent series, it is in general impossible to know | |
| 17 if a series is complete in terms of its instances. This is the meaning | |
| 18 of the ``Unknown`` status displayed by Orthanc. | |
| 192 | 19 |
| 658 | 20 However, for some types of images (such as cardiac MRI), the DICOM |
| 21 modules might specify a tag that contains this information. If such a | |
| 22 tag is available for a series, Orthanc will either report a | |
| 23 ``Complete`` status (if all the instances have been received), | |
| 24 ``Incomplete`` (if some instances are [still] missing) or | |
| 25 ``Inconsistent`` if there is an error inside the numbering of the | |
| 26 instances. |
