Splitting a series importconverter

  • Try sometyhing like this:


    ImportConverter0 = ifequal "%V0008,1010", "DR mammo"; set 0020,000e to "%E0008,0018"


    This will generate a new series uid based on the object instance uid. ONLY DO THIS FOR IMAGES FROM THE DR MAMMO.

  • Thanks for the quick response Marcel. I am getting an error though. This is the only modality that will send to this server, so I left off the logic to only change it for that mammo unit. So here is what I have for the importconverter.
    #Importerconverters
    ImportConverters = 1
    ImportConverter0 = set 0020,000e to "%E0008,0018"


    And below is the error I get.

    Thanks for your help! Very much appreciated.

  • Hi,


    this might be due to old data in the database with a conflicting patient ID. To fix this it is a good idea to add:


    newuids; set 0020,000e to "%E0008,0018"


    This will change all UIDS and make the images appear as brand-new with a new series uid for each image.


    Marcel

  • Thanks again Marcel. I did make one change to your suggestion. instead of "%E0008,0018"
    I changed the E to a V. I did a deeper look at what was happening to the images and found that with the E, the actual text 0008,0018 was being used for the Series instance. With the V, it appears to be copying correctly now. Thanks for heading me in the right direction! :)
