Stop Study Duplication

  • Problem :


    In one of our sites where Employment Medical Fitness Examination are carried, the Radiology Technician modifies the scans or replace the UNFIT Employee CR Study with the person who is fit and forward it to PACS for reporting. In this way number of employees who are unfit are given employment. I deeply study and find that every time he does this the KODAK CR assigns a new Study Instance ID to the study and save it to PACS.


    Is there any way we can stop the PACS from receiving the modified Study.

  • Hi,


    you will need to add a script that queries the database to detect that it is a duplicate - not easy. If the UIDs are different it is not in Conquest's view. I would have a look at accession number first.

  • Hi,


    you need to compare the images and look for fields that remain the same and could be used for such a check. Conquest is correct in storing images with different UIDs - they are not the same.
