SAME PatientId For TWO Different PATIENT ?

Hi all,

i'm a daily user of conquest dgate pacs, and it works fine.
Congratulation for all of us. It's a good job.

I'm using different version of dgate.
1.4.13; 1.4.15 64 BITS; 1.4.16
And all of them under Linux (Ubuntu)

I want to know if it is possible to let dgate create a second different patient with an existing PatientID (already in the DB) ?

Actually if a study comes for an existing PatientId, dgate modifies the name of it.
I'd prefer it create another one with the same patientID.
Is it possible ?

Thanks.
Best Regards.

Hi Marcel,

thanks for your interest for my topic.
You say Importconverter can modify the original Patientid when receiving a new study.
How does it works ? Does it make it "on the fly" ?
By a script ? By the dicom.ini ?

Can you help me with a sample to do that ?

Thanks.

Hi,

thanks a lot.
It works fine with (for example) :

# Importconverters
ImportConverters = 1
ImportConverter0 = set 0010,0020 to "%V0010,0030-%i"

Best Regards.
