pynetdicom.pdu_items.SCP_SCU_RoleSelectionSubItem

class pynetdicom.pdu_items.SCP_SCU_RoleSelectionSubItem

An SCP/SCU Role Selection Sub-item.

An SCU/SCU Role Selection Sub-item allows communicating Application Entities to negotiate the roles in which they will server for each SOP Class or Meta SOP Class supported on the association.

item_length

The number of bytes from the first byte following the Item Length field to the last byte of the Item.

Type

int

item_type

The Item Type field value (0x54).

Type

int

scu_role

The SCU Role field value, 0 or 1 or None.

Type

int or None

scp_role

The SCP Role field value, 0 or 1 or None.

Type

int or None

sop_class_uid

The SOP Class UID field value.

Type

pydicom.uid.UID or None

uid_length

The UID Length field value.

Type

int

Notes

An SCP/SCU Role Selection Sub-item requires the following parameters:

• Item type (1, fixed, 0x51)

• Item length (1)

• UID length (1)

• SOP Class UID (1)

• SCU role (1)

• SCP role (1)

Encoding

When encoded, an SCP/SCU Role Section Sub-item has the following structure, taken from Tables D.3-9 and D.3-10 of the DICOM Standard (offsets shown with Python indexing). Items are always encoded using Big Endian. The SOP Class UID parameter is encoded as a UID as per the rules in Part 5, Section 9.1 (ie NO trailing padding null byte).

Offset	Length	Description
0	1	Item type
1	1	Reserved
2	2	Item length
4	2	UID length
6	Variable	SOP class UID
6 + UID length	1	SCP role
7 + UID length	1	SCU role
