Description

Currently, some command line tools store the value of the Calling AE Title in the Source Application Entity Title (0002,0016) Attribute of the File Meta Information of created DICOM files. This seems to be wrong according to DICOM PS3.10 Table 7.1-1:

The DICOM Application Entity (AE) Title of the AE that wrote this file's content​
(or last updated it). If used, it allows the tracing of the source of errors in the​
event of media interchange problems. The policies associated with AE Titles​
are the same as those defined in PS3.8.​

Note​
If the Data Set was created de novo by the application writing the file,​
its AE Title, if it has one, may be used. If the Data Set was received​
over the network, there is potential ambiguity as to whether the value​
is the same as Sending Application Entity Title (0002,0017) or​
Receiving Application Entity Title (0002,0018) or some other value.​

At least it should be considered whether using Sending Application Entity​ Title​ (0002,0017) and Receiving Application​ Entity Title​ (0002,0018) wouldn't be more appropriate.​
