tutorial to use a new field

    hi
    I need conquest to use another field which is referring physicianname. I Also read on this forum that someone needed to use the aetitle of the sending modality.
    So is it possible? And if so, do anybody know how?
    I' going to search a little bit but I am sure Marcel will help us.!
    Note I'm using conquest 1.4.14 on a debian with mysql db.
    thanks

    Hi,


    you can edit DICOM.SQL to add any field, except the sending AE. Do not modify the first and the last entry of a database definition. But referring physician (I looked it up in dgate.dic to be 0008,0090) is already there:


    From *study*


    { 0x0008, 0x0090, "ReferPhysician", 64, SQL_C_CHAR, DT_STR },
    groep, element, database field name, length, SQL type (SQL_C_CHAR or SQL_C_DATE) and dicom type (mostly DT_STR).


    When done, you need to restart the server and regenerate the database.

    Hi,


    you can add almost any field in any database (see the DICOM standard for a list of items). However, DICOM command fields such as sending AE are forbidden to add: they would actually work and be saved. But if you ahve for instance having the AE in the database this would block queries from all but that AE (all others would not match).
