Splitting Series into New Study Based on BodyPartExamined

ChrisDiehn · Jan 2nd 2014

I have a CR scanner which cannot split different exams into different StuInsUIDs, and cannot apply a StudyDescription. The scanner DOES use BodyPartExamined correctly, so if I look at a set of 4 studies (under one StuInsUID) I can see which images (one image per series) belong to which study without having to open them individually:

Code

[admin] {1.2.392.200036.9107.500.111168513121102020} find ./ -path *.dcm -exec dcmdump {} \; | egrep "StudyDescription|BodyPartExamined" | sort | uniq
(0008,1030) LO (no value available)                     #   0, 0 StudyDescription
(0018,0015) CS [CSPINE]                                 #   6, 1 BodyPartExamined
(0018,0015) CS [LSPINE]                                 #   6, 1 BodyPartExamined
(0018,0015) CS [SHOULDER]                               #   8, 1 BodyPartExamined
(0018,0015) CS [TSPINE]                                 #   6, 1 BodyPartExamined

Can I use a builtin command or lua to split the series/images for each BodyPartExamined into a new study, and then map the BodyPartExamined to StudyDescription? What would that look like?

Hi

if you use changeuid to generate a new uid for each studyuid bodypart examined combination it would do the trick.

[lua]
ImportConverter0 = Data.StudyInstanceUID = changeuid(Data.StudyInstanceUID .. Data.BodyPartExamined)

You may want to add checks on Modality, StatioName etc.
