7.2.2 Functional Definition of AEs
The PPS Server AE is implemented as an application process on the scanner host
computer. It runs as a daemon serving requests from other applications to send the PPS
information to the remote AE and return the results to the requesting application.
The PPS Server AE initiates the following functions.
• Start PPS: Initiates a DICOM association in order to create a DICOM Modality
Performed Procedure Step SOP instance in the remote AE. If the remote AE accepts
a presentation context applicable to Modality performed Procedure Step, the PPS
Server AE will issue a request to create the SOP instance in the remote AE via the N-
CREATE service.
• Complete PPS: Initiates a DICOM association in order to update a DICOM Modality
Performed Step instance that is already created with the remote AE. If the remote AE
accepts a presentation context applicable to Modality performed Procedure Step, the
PPS Server AE will issue a request to update the SOP instance in the remote AE via
the N-SET service. The PPS Status is set to ‘COMPLETED’.
• Discontinue PPS: Initiates a DICOM association in order to update a DICOM Modality
Performed Step instance that is already created with the remote AE. If the remote AE
accepts a presentation context applicable to Modality performed Procedure Step, the
PPS Server AE will issue a request to update the SOP instance in the remote AE via
the N-SET service. The PPS Status is set to ‘DISCONTINUED’.
7.2.3 Sequencing of Real-World Activities
7.2.3.1 PPS from Acquisition System with MWL data
The system has a Modality Worklist Server AE installed. Worklist information is obtained
from HIS/RIS system through the use of Basic Worklist Management Service. Use of the
information retrieved in the creation of Image SOP instance is described in the Modality
Worklist Conformance statement. Use of the information retrieved in MPPS SOP
instances is described later in this document.
• The system initiates a ‘Start PPS’ before starting a scan, i.e. when the image
acquisition is started. The system retrieves necessary information related to the
Scheduled Procedure Step from Modality Worklist Server. PPS Server AE initiates a
MPPS (Modality Performed Procedure Step) N-CREATE request to the remote AE
(MPPS SCP), in-order to create a MPPS SOP instance at the remote AE.
• The MPPS SCP returns response indicating the success/failure of the request
execution. The PPS state information is updated in the system based on the response
data, and is presented to the user. The DICOM association is closed.
• System includes the necessary information related to Scheduled Procedure Steps and
the Performed procedure Step in the image instances created.
