I help health systems implement imaging systems and fit them into the workflows already in place. DICOM, HL7, IHE, PACS and VNA, with SQL and Python as needed.

Originally published on JS PACS, March 23, 2009.

I was recently working on a PACSGear CD burner. The software was PACSGear MediaWriter version 1.0.2.25990, and when retrieving a study from PACS to burn to a CD I was constantly getting an error. The error from the MediaWriter logs was:

Thread MoveManager::Start->An exception occurred while C-MOVE with AE C001.

This made me think there was a device somewhere with an AE title of C001. After looking for that AE in the configuration files, I started searching online and found that C001 was one of five error codes for C-MOVE operations.

I found this information in a discussion about the Conquest DICOM server. The error codes are as follows:

CodeMeaning
C001No destination AE specified
C002Empty destination AE specified
C003Destination not found or allowed
C004Search error
C005Destination not available

I am curious whether anybody else has encountered C-MOVE errors with the PACSGear MediaWriter similar to mine.
