Dicom Tag Stripping

  • Hello Marcel,
    Is it possible to use conquest to automatically remove certain dicom tags upons store and autoroute. Currently, our CAD markings are burned into our MG images with dicom 6000 overlays. When we telerad them out to other facilities for comparisons, the CAD markings go with and cover anatomy. We would rather they not go at all. I found that if I remove some of the tags first, they get removed. but this is a manual process that is time consuming. I found if I remove (6000, 0040) and (6000, 0100) that the ovelays disappear. Is there a script that you can recommend to automatically remove these, or is it beyond the scope of conquest?

  • Hello again Marcel,


    This script worked to store images without the dicom 6000 overlays, but strangely, the images that were autoforwarded still had the tags when they arrived at their destination. I put the lua at the end of the dicom.ini. should it be in a different place?? Should I change the script to: or is there another way.



    [lua]
    ExportConverter10 = Data["6000,0040"]=nil; Data["6000,0100"]=nil


    or


    ExportCalledAE9 = AVERACARD
    ExportConverter9 = forward series Data["6000,0040"]=nil; Data["6000,0100"]=nil compressed as j4 to AHHSD


    or is this better?


    ExportCalledAE9 = AVERACARD
    ExportFilter9 = Data["6000,0040"]=nil; Data["6000,0100"]=nil
    ExportConverter9 = forward series compressed as j4 to AHHSD

  • I thought i was doing that with:


    [lua]
    ImportConverter0 = Data["6000,0040"]=nil; Data["6000,0100"]=nil


    but for some reason, the tags still show at the destination.


    Where should I put the Import converter in the .ini....does it matter? If I put it first, then the images dont export at all. If I put it at the end, then they dont autoforward.
    thanks for your help.

  • Hi,


    the [lua] section starts isat the end
    and all lua calls follow it..


    Old style calls sit in [sscscp] section before:


    ExportConverter9 = forward series Data["6000,0040"]=nil; Data["6000,0100"]=nil compressed as j4 to AHHSD


    [lua]
    ImportConverter0 = Data["6000,0040"]=nil; Data["6000,0100"]=nil
