Hi Jeff
Re HL7
I am sending HL7 messages in production use. Currently only 2 message types - from memory (will check when back in at work) REF and LAB2. In practice I found that local (Australian) implementations whilst supposedly following the standards had their own variations. Happy to share code but cannot guarantee how applicable it will be for you.
Re DICOM:
I have code that will parse DICOM files (well nuclear medicine ones that we generate) with some Philips extensions. Again happy to share code but would certainly need adaption and / or extension to whatever you are trying to do. I had a brief go at doing DICOM queries. I could establish a session, get back a confirmation and end a session but in the small time I had to play with it I couldn't get a response to a DICOM query even though when I used Wireshark my query looked exactly (aside from IP address) to one from another piece of DICOM software whose query worked. I need to parse brain scan files in DICOM format to extract the data for subsequent processing and have been doing that in production for a few years now.
If you tell me a bit more about exactly what you need to do I can be a little more specific about the extent to which I may or may not be able to help. Sharing code isn't a problem - although its probably not of that much help without some explanation which takes time and so isn't worth doing if it won't help you. My code does what I need it to do and isn't a total solution but the basics are probably pretty good but incomplete.
I am running Harbour on Ubuntu Linux here but the OS should make no real difference, Code is all OO.
Regards
Doug
