# Association Establishment Policies

# Overview

The proposed Application Context Name is "1.2.840.1008.3.1.1.1".
The proposed maximum PDU size is 16 KB.

# Number of Associations

A single association is established at the same time for each provider.
Note that while only one association is established at the same time for a singular AE, associations may be established for sub-operations unrestricted to this.

# Asynchronicity

Asynchronous operations are not supported.

# Implementation Identification Information

Product name Implementation Class UID Implementation Version
SonicDICOM PACS 1.2.392.100224.1.2001 3.0

# Association Initiation Policies

# Association Acceptance Policies

Association accepted for the following activities.

  • When requested for DICOM communication Verification from a remote system.
  • When an image is transferred from a remote system.
  • When there is a retrieval and image request from a remote system.

# Real-World Activity: Verification

C-ECHO response performed in response to confirmation from remote system.

# SOP Specific Conformance (Storage Class)

Basically no data element is forcibly rounded or omitted in reception.
If the transferred image has the same UID as that of an SOP instance that has been already registered, the transferred image is overwrite-saved.

# Real-World Activity: Retrieval Response

When a retrieval request is received from a remote system, a response is returned based on information in a local database.
