upsdimseattributes

Description

CLI for extracting, caching, and printing DICOM UPS (Unified Procedure Step) DIMSE Service Attribute tables from Part 4 of the DICOM standard.

This CLI downloads, caches, and prints the attributes for the UPS DIMSE services from Part 4 of the DICOM standard. The tool parses the UPS Service Attribute table and allows selection of a specific DIMSE service (e.g., N-CREATE, N-SET, N-GET, C-FIND, FINAL) and role (SCU or SCP). The output can be printed as a table.

The resulting model is cached as a JSON file. The primary purpose of this cache file is to provide a structured, machine-readable representation of the UPS DIMSE service attributes, which can be used for further processing or integration in other tools. As a secondary benefit, the cache file is also used to speed up subsequent runs of the CLI scripts.

For more information on configuration and caching location see the Configuration and Caching page.
