Hi,
Thanks for the LUA updates - it really makes a big difference.
I am currently using the 1.4.16k version and LUA to auto forward data from our PACS to clients in the clinic (xvi, iview, brachy etc.).
In cases where we need a large group of patient for a research study, I would like to use Conquest (dgate) to DICOM move the list of patient from the PACS to a research client machine for data processing. We could do this manually in Conquest but it becomes a tedious task to move hundreds or even thousands of patients.
I was thinking of writing a LUA script for gdate and let the script read a text file containing all the patient IDs and requested modality, and then move the DICOM data from one destination to another.
Is it possible to execute a LUA script in dgate only once? And is it save for large jobs (batches) - the Conquest Windows manual says "works directly - use with care" on page 44 in appendix 6?
