Hi!
We very often get error messages in the PACSerror logfile similar to this one:
Inconsistent PatientNam in DICOMPatients: PatientID = '290132' PatientID = '290132', Old='AAAAA', New='BBBBB'
When I seatch the SQL file I am only able to find patient A or B, but never both - on queries from eFilm both show up :-).
I do understand what it means and why it comes up (we always put the DOB as the Patient ID) but I am not sure how conquest handles such an error and if it is important.
So it would be very nice if someone could tell me how Conquest does handle certain IDs/Fields when they already exist and if there are IDs that schould never be the same
thanks
