+C-Get: retrieve
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Once you know that a DICOM resource is available on a particular
+DICOM node, you may retrieve it directly without performing a C-Find
+before.  This can be done once you know one ore more of the unique
+key attributes (``PatientID``, ``StudyInstanceUID``, ``SeriesInstanceUID``
+or ``SOPInstanceUID``).
+
+As of Orthanc 1.7.0, Orthanc implements C-Get as a service provider (SCP)
+but not as a service user (SCU).  One way to use the C-Get against an 
+Orthanc is by using the `DCMTK <https://support.dcmtk.org/docs/dcmconv.html>`__ toolkit::
+
+    $ getscu -v localhost 4242 -aec ORTHANC -k "000d,0020=1.2...." -k "0008,0052=STUDY"
