Options for importing DICOM data

To import DICOM data into your DaRIS project, there are two options:

1. DICOM transfer:
   • Transfer DICOM data directly from the imaging facility to your DaRIS project using the scanner software (Storage SCU client)
2. HTTP import:
   • Import DICOM data using DaRIS command line client
   • Import DICOM data via the web portal

DICOM transfer

DaRIS has built-in DICOM StorageSCP server running to receive DICOM data from imaging facilities via DICOM transfer protocol.

To ensure the DICOM (transfer) security,

1. the DICOM Application Entities of the imaging instruments must be registered in DaRIS
2. the IP address of the instrument workstation (used to send data to DaRIS) must be allowed by DaRIS firewall
3. (Optionally), we can enable TLS encryption for DICOM transfer (if the client side support it)

For instrument platform users who want to set up new DICOM transfer from your scanner to DaRIS, please contact us via a ServiceNow ticket to discuss the details.

For the end user who want to receive data from instrument platforms (that already established connections to DaRIS), such as Florey MRI facility or MBCIU. Please contact the platform operators (radiographers) to find out your project details.

HTTP import

Import DICOM data using DaRIS command line clients

daris-clients is a software package contains a set to command line tools to access data in DaRIS. It includes a tool called daris-dicom-ingest and it can be used to import DICOM data into your DaRIS project.

To install daris-clients and import data using daris-dicom-ingest, see here.

Import DICOM data via web portal

DaRIS web portal can also be used to import small DICOM data sets.
