Delete patient remotely

  • Hello,


    What would be the best way to remotely delete a patient from the Conquest PACS?
    Now we have an instance of Conquest running and developed our own DICOM client for retrieving data.(C-FIND, C-MOVE, C-STORE)
    In the future we want to delete patient information from the client, but Conquest doesn`t support N_DELETE?


    We also experienced with the command line tool dgate.exe with --deletepatient:patid option, but this seems only working on local machines.


    Any advise would be helpful.

  • Hi,


    conquest currently supports remote deletion, through the web interface, if you disable the ReadOnly flag.


    The dgate -- commands are sent to WebServerFor that defaults to 127.0.0.1; If you put dgate(.exe) somewhere remotely and use a dicom.ini which sets WebServerFor to the IP address of the server you want to service, you can control conquest server remotely.


    Groetjes,


    Marcel
