defmodule Dimse do
@moduledoc """
Pure Elixir DICOM DIMSE networking library.
Provides the DICOM Upper Layer Protocol (PS3.8) and DIMSE-C message services
(PS3.7) for building DICOM SCP (server) and SCU (client) applications on the BEAM.
## Public API
### Listener (SCP)
Dimse.start_listener(port: 11112, handler: MyApp.DicomHandler)
Dimse.stop_listener(ref)
### Client (SCU)
{:ok, assoc} = Dimse.connect("192.168.1.10", 11112, calling_ae: "MY_SCU", called_ae: "REMOTE_SCP")
:ok = Dimse.echo(assoc)
:ok = Dimse.store(assoc, sop_class_uid, sop_instance_uid, data_set)
{:ok, results} = Dimse.find(assoc, :study, query_data, timeout: 30_000)
:ok = Dimse.cancel(assoc, message_id)
:ok = Dimse.move(assoc, :study, query, dest_ae: "DEST_AE")
{:ok, data_sets} = Dimse.get(assoc, :study, query)
:ok = Dimse.release(assoc)
:ok = Dimse.abort(assoc)
## Architecture
Each DICOM association is a dedicated GenServer process (`Dimse.Association`)
supervised under a DynamicSupervisor. Ranch handles TCP acceptance. This gives
fault isolation per-association and natural backpressure via `max_children`.
## Dependencies
- `dicom` — command set encoding (Implicit VR Little Endian), UID generation,
transfer syntax registry, SOP class lookup
- `ranch` — TCP acceptor pool
- `telemetry` — observability events
