Hi,

When quering pacs at the Study Level, it is possible to get the incorrect ImageCounts, due to bugs in the software of IntelePACS. I think it is due to studies with mixed modalities.

I have written a library to alleviate this issue for .Net, where the imageCounts can be correctly retrieved at the Series level.

We need to query at the SeriesLevel and just parse an empty string for the studyUId (To force it)

private void SetQueryResultsSeries()
        {
            var seriesCount = Data.Count;
            if (seriesCount > 0)
            {

                for (var i = 0; i < seriesCount; i++)
                {
                    var imagesInSeriesCount = Data[i][Keyword.NumberOfSeriesRelatedInstances];
                    if (imagesInSeriesCount.ExistsWithValue)
                        ImageCount += int.Parse(imagesInSeriesCount.Value.ToString());
                }
                SetIntrinsicProperties();
            }
            else
            {
                ImageCount = 0;
            }
        }

Then to use my lirbary, we just do this:

var query = new DicomQueryManager("AE_Romiko", "MYMasterPacsServer", "5000", "MyAccessionNumber","").BuildMasterSeriesLevel();
            //Notice the empty string above to force studyLevel enumaration so I can get the actual series collections.
            query.Find();
            var imageCount = query.ImageCount
