I am running the following command with the find-SCU tool from the OFFIS DICOM toolkit (dcmtk):

movescu -k 0010,0020="PAT004"  ip_adress 104 -aec serverAET -aet myAET --study -ll debug -od data

And I keep getting the error.

The association seem to have worked well but the actual c-move seems to fail at the moment of the transfer message of the error

  • The actual command contains a valid ip adress, I just didn't want to give it away. And, as I said, the association is done correctly. The problem occurs at the copying step. – fi4720 Aug 09 '18 at 09:37

The screenshot tells that you can successfully establish the connection, but the server aborts after receiving the request.

You missed to specify the mandatory key QueryRetrieveLevel (0008,0052).

add 

-k 0008,0052="PATIENT"

to your command, and it should work.

However, moving means, that the server (MOVE-SCP) is prompted to transfer the images matched by the request to a destination application entity. This must be specified by providing the AET of that system:

-aem <AET of the destination>

This frequently fails due to one of these reasons:

  • the move destination AE title is resolved to an IP-address and port. This is achieved through the C-MOVE-SCP's configuration.
  • A Storage SCP has to listen for images transferred in the scope of the C-MOVE, its IP, AET and port have to match the MOVE-SCP's configuration for the Move destination AE title.
