CoercionSOP Property

In This Topic

SOP Class to which images should be coerced if peer does not accept true SOP class

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
Public Property CoercionSOP As String

'Usage
 
Dim instance As DicomAssociation
Dim value As String
 
instance.CoercionSOP = value
 
value = instance.CoercionSOP

public string CoercionSOP {get; set;}

public:
property String^ CoercionSOP {
   String^ get();
   void set (    String^ value);
}

Remarks

Some equipments can only support a limited range of SOP classes, but there may be a need to send images of other types to it. If this property is set to a non-null value, and if the remote AE does not support the SOP class of an image being sent, (but does support he CoercionSOP class), then a temporary image (with a New UID) is generated with its SOP class set to equal CoercionSOP, and this is transmitted instead.

The most common value for CoercionSOP would be SecondaryCapture (1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.7).

Although this practice is questionable, it is often useful for sending images such as ultrasounds, to display stations primarily designed for CT and MRI etc. but which also support secondary capture.
