Note : Abstract syntaxes of Storage SOP Classes listed into table 2 are supported. DxDCMserver application entity provides full Level 2 conformance to the Storage SOP Class as an SCP, although some of the attributs may be converted in order to meet the current implementation of the DxMultimodality application.

If private dictionary from other vendors are made available, and if possible, some of private elements may be also converted in order to meet the current implementation of the DxMultimodality application, and may be made accessible to this application.

Nevertheless, all of the attributes could be retrieved (identical or possibly modified) by remote applications (e.g using C-MOVE service) and if necessary following private data elements encoding rules described into the paragraph 7.8 of the PS 3.5 part of the DICOM standard, a DICOM message related to storage SOP Class being kept with its original format into the DxDBase (refer to the document UL/96/XCA/31Jan96/105).

Coercion of attributs may occur, but is depending on the specificities of the installation on a given site.

The behavior of DxDCMserver application entity in the case of a successful C-STORE operation reflects the fact that the images are under the control of the DxDBase, but is not part of this document. However SOP instances (possibly modified) may be retrieved/accessed using C-FIND and/or (C-MOVE / C-GET) services.

As shown into table 5, extended negotiation is not supported (Association requester is SCP only).

Presentation context acceptance criterion
DxDCMserver application entity accepts all the presentation contexts common to both the proposed and acceptable lists in order to store images. DxDCMserver application entity accepts an unlimited number of transfer syntaxes per presentation context (actually depending on the number of supported transfer syntaxes). The transfer syntax selection policies for one presentation context are described in the next section. The same transfer syntax selection policies apply for multiple presentation contexts related to the same abstract syntax.
Transfer syntax selection policies
The transfer syntax selection policy is made according to the following rules:
 
bouton Implicit transfer syntaxes is recommended over Explicit transfer syntaxes. 
bouton Little Endian is recommended over Big Endian. 
Obviously, the association initiator is allowed to propose only its own recommended transfer syntax, in the presentation context list of the association request.
Database query
Associated real-world activity
DxDCMserver application entity accepts associations from remote systems which want to query the DxDBase using the C-FIND DIMSE-C service, based on the standard Patient-Root Information Model, or on the standard Study-Root Information Model.
