| 1 What do the various status displayed in a series header mean? | |
| 2 ============================================================= | |
| 3 | |
| 4 A series can be assigned a status by Orthanc. I can list as *unknown*, *missing*, *inconsistent* or *complete*. | |
| 5 | |
| 6 The status is meant to convey the completeness of the series, as known by Orthanc. | |
| 7 | |
| 8 As a general rule, since there is no generic DICOM tag that contains the number of DICOM instances that are contained in a given series, and since there is no generic tag that contains the index of a DICOM instance inside its parent series, it is in general impossible to know if a series is complete in terms of its instances. This is the meaning of the *Unknown* status displayed by Orthanc. | |
| 9 | |
| 10 However, for some types of images (such as cardiac MRI), the DICOM modules might specify a tag that contains this information. If such a tag is available for a series, Orthanc will either report a *Complete* status (if all the instances have been received), *Incomplete* (if some instances are [still] missing) or *Inconsistent* if there is an error inside the numbering of the instances. | |
