Anonymization Script in Project Leve

[Sarah Hong]

Dear XNAT Group,

I use XNAT 1.8.2.2.

I would like to change session name for certain project, so I marked "enable Script" and wrote anonymization script under the project as shown below:

(0008,1030) := project

(0010,0010) := subject

(0010,0020) := session

studyDate := (0008,0020)

session := makeSessionLabel[format["{0}_{1}", subject, studyDate]]

and it does not seem to be working, so I tried 

 

(0008,1030) := project

(0010,0010) := subject

(0010,0020) := session

session := makeSessionLabel[format["{0}_{1}", subject, (0008,0020)]]

However, none seems to be working, but I'm not sure what I did wrong.

Please advise if you have any idea. Thank you.

Best,

[Moore, Charlie]

Hello,

By "change session name", do you mean you want incoming DICOM data to be assigned a different session label when being received? If so, that is not something you can use the anonymization scripts for. I discussed in a bit more detail why that is in this thread (https://groups.google.com/g/xnat_discussion/c/_w8eybtu5jI/m/T-kNhB2IDQAJ). Making a custom DICOM object identifier (assuming the data is arriving via C-STORE) to assign the session label is probably your best bet here.

Thanks,

Charlie

Thank you for your explanation, Moore!

Do you think it is possible to add two tags for session ID using Custom DICOM Routing? 

I have checked a few documentation related to DICOM Routing, but it seems like they offer some minor adjustment such as replacing certain letters, but I wonder if it can also perform such thing as assigning session using two tags. 

Unfortunately, our project does not use C-STORE at this moment, so I am looking for if there is any other way besides manually changing sessionID.

Thank you!

Best regards,

Hello there,

I suggested a custom DICOM object identifier because there are two facets in which the custom DICOM routing feature won't work for you (assuming I'm understanding you correctly):

1. Custom session label routing can only use 1 DICOM element, but you need a function of 2 DICOM elements generating 1 label.
2. Custom session label routing is only applicable sitewide, so you can't just use it for "certain project[s]".

Expanding the capability of the custom routing to support a composite of n DICOM elements is something we're interested in doing, but it's not on the roadmap. Unfortunately, DICOM object identifiers only apply to data coming in on an SCP receiver, so that wouldn't actually work for you either. As an ugly workaround, could you script computing the session label from the elements you want for you data and store it in an unused tag (preferably a private one)? You could then use the custom session labeling to pull from that element if available.

Thanks,

Charlie

I understand. I will try that. Thank you so much for kind explanation, Moore!
