A DICOM AE that claims conformance to any of the Non-Patient Object Storage SOP Classes as an SCP shall receive and store a SOP Instance through the use of the DIMSE C-STORE service used in conjunction with the specific SOP Class.

The SCP shall store and provide access to all Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 Attributes defined in the IOD, as well as any Standard Extended Attributes (including Private Attributes) included in the SOP Instance. The SCP may, but is not required to validate that the Attributes of the SOP Instance meet the requirements of the associated IOD.

The SCP shall not modify the values of any Attributes in the SOP Instance without assigning a new SOP Instance UID, except that the SCP may modify values of, or add, Type 3 and Private Attributes that do not change the semantics or interpretation of the SOP Instance.

The SCP shall return, via the C-STORE response primitive, the Response Status Code applicable to the associated request. By performing this service successfully, the SCP indicates that the SOP Instance has been successfully stored. Table GG.4-1 defines the specific response status code values that might be returned in a C-STORE response. General status code values and fields related to status code values are defined for C-STORE DIMSE Service in PS3.7.
