Hello, i just installed the conquest server and played a bit with it. It seams very versatile ! Actually I would like to ask a few questions which regard direclty the use I would like to make of the server.
1. From what i understood from the documentation i can add any number of new fields inside the dicom.sql file. Can I also remove fields which are not needed ( of course these which are not used as keys in linking the various tables together ) ?
2. Is it possible to add fields to the database which are private tags inside the incoming dicom files , if I also add these private dicom tags to the dgate.dic ?
3. Not strictly conquest but : is it possible to determine when a complete study for a given patient has been received and trigger some action when this is the case ?
What I am trying to do is as follows : I receive mammography images from just one acquisition station. On receiving the last image for a series I would like to add this new series to a "to process" list. Than I would like to call an external CAD executable to process the "to process" list. Finaly, when results are available from the CAD system I would like to store them in the database as structured report files and also send these sr to another workstation for viewing.
The question is : is it possible to accomplish this workflow using the conquest server ? What do you think would be the best way to do something like this ( sql stored procedures or conquest filters or maybe write another service/daemon that accesses the conquest database and monitors for new unprocessed series ) ?
Thanks so much for your time
