Creating a DICOM Associate Connection

Once a DICOM Network Connection has been established, a DICOM Associate Connection must be established before DICOM messages and data can be transferred between two AEs.

The AE acting as an SCP must have a DICOM Associate handle and the AE acting as an SCU must have a DICOM Associate handle. Steps for establishing a DICOM Associate connection are given below for both the SCU and the SCP.
