Marcel,
Seeing something unexpected with CQ. Using V 1.4.16k and 1.4.16 rc4. I'm using this as a router, and seeing that somehow CQ is stripping the DICOM allowing for MM measurements on US images. Any US study sent through will only show pixel measurements and the users need to now calibrate each image to measure. Thoughts?
I see that it's stripping out data for 00186011, Sequence of US Regions.
Thanks!
Ok, I see now that PACS is imposing this change. Sorry for the false alarm.
I'm using an instance of the latest version of Conquest as a DICOM router for all the modalities at a site. So, I'm sending US, CT, CR, MG etc through this instance.
I'm using ImportConverters to simply forward the study to our PACS and then destroy the image. Long story, but suffice it to say that this image flow solves a networking issue that we have.
The problem is that I see on our PACS, that the Conquest AET is showing in "00731003 - Sending AE Title". This is as it should be, but it's actually causing a problem for me. Is there any way to keep that tag from changing from the modality AET?
Ahh, I see it on the ftp site. Thank you.
The update that I downloaded was from http://ingenium.home.xs4all.nl/dicom.html
It's only labeled as dicomserver1416 though.
The header is completely gone. Prior to sending, it's included in the images, but after it's forwarded from the importconverter the header is completely missing.
Hi Marcel,
Finally gave this a try with the latest release, but no luck.
Excellent. Thanks once again Marcel.
Marcel, you had mentioned on a post a couple years ago that changing a name to upper case will be in a future release. Is that available and if so, how would one do that?
I ran into an interesting issue. I am on dicomserver v1416. I can successfully route MG images using a combination of import and export converters. The following is what I had used successfully for a year. ;
# Configuration of rules to modify, log or reject incoming DICOM slices
ImportConverters = 2
ImportConverter0 = newuids; set 0020,000e to "%V0008,0018"
ImportConverter1 = set 0008,103e to "%V0045,101b"
ExportConverters = 1
ExportConverter0 = forward to isite[/i]
But, I wanted to take advantage of 1416's ability to forward on an importconverter, allowing me to destroy the images, so I changed it thus:
# Configuration of rules to modify, log or reject incoming DICOM slices
ImportConverters = 3
ImportConverter0 = newuids; set 0020,000e to "%V0008,0018"
ImportConverter1 = set 0008,103e to "%V0045,101b"
ImportConverter2 = forward to isite; destroy
It all tested fine, until I got a call from the site notifying me that the VOI LUT wasn't accessible. I checked the header (0028 3010) on the PACS and it was not on any of the images sent with the above converter.
Thoughts?
Is there a way to trigger the prefetch during the night? Say at midnight?
Thanks again Marcel. I did make one change to your suggestion. instead of "%E0008,0018"
I changed the E to a V. I did a deeper look at what was happening to the images and found that with the E, the actual text 0008,0018 was being used for the Series instance. With the V, it appears to be copying correctly now. Thanks for heading me in the right direction! 
Thanks for the quick response Marcel. I am getting an error though. This is the only modality that will send to this server, so I left off the logic to only change it for that mammo unit. So here is what I have for the importconverter.
#Importerconverters
ImportConverters = 1
ImportConverter0 = set 0020,000e to "%E0008,0018"
And below is the error I get.

Thanks for your help! Very much appreciated.
We have a DR mammo unit that is sending images bundled into a single series. Is there a way to use an import converter to make each image it's own series?
