Hi all,

I have installed Oviyam2.8.1 on Tomcat.
And my project is when clicking a link with patient ID and accession number, the image could be displayed through oviyam2.
When using patient ID in the URL to search on PACS, there is only one exam displayed, even the patient got more than one exam in PACS.
If adding accession number in the URL to specify which exam, the oviyam2 always showing the same exam even the accession number has changed.
I would like to ask
1) Is it possible to display all exams of the patients when just using patient ID in the URL?
2) Is it possible to use both patient ID and accession number in the URL to display the image? (No using studyUID)

Thank you.

Hi Chan,

I have tested, implemented your Option 2. But I practiced it in DCCHEE2.x.
I wrote steps over my blog spot and you may find some support out of that.

Hi,
Thanks for your response. 

Which steps in the blog could help search with ID and accession number URL?

We are facing the same issue with Oviyam2.8.1. (We are using C-GET). Did you find any resolution?

Hi, this question has been answered before. You must use the URL scheme below to call patients via UID :

Replae PatientUID with the UID of the study. You can also use patientID, or AccessionNumber parameters

Hi,

I can't solve this problem. I think this need oviyam2 to improve in future version.
I have switched to weasis and weasis could search pacs via url using accession number as filter. You could try weasis.

Try enabling pre-fetch other studies of the patient option in the preferences section.

Looks like the accession number filter is not working and there is an issue in handling it. We will create a JIRA issue to resolve it in the next update.

Thanks for the reply. Any ETA on the next update availability? 
Does Oviyam or Dcm4chee provide any API to find out study ID relevant to patientId and accession number? 

alternatively: We just upgraded to Oviyam2.8.1 - if 2.8.0 would work without sacrificing anything major, we are ok to downgrade.

OV-241 has been created to resolve the accession number filter issue. You can expect a fix shortly. 

Does Oviyam or Dcm4chee provide any API to find out study ID relevant to patientId and accession number? 

There is no api available for this. If you have knowledge in Java - EJB, you can use the dcm4chee ejb client to get the details from dcm4chee 2.x

alternatively: We just upgraded to Oviyam2.8.1 - if 2.8.0 would work without sacrificing anything major, we are ok to downgrade. 

No. Accession number filter code has broken a long back and the previous versions are affected by that. 

BTW, please share the URL format that you are trying to use for the direct study access. Let us check and correct if you are incorrectly using it.

Yes, but the above URL will show the list of all studies for the patient - which is not exactly what we want. 
(Note this is useful and we display that already but in a different context) 

We wanted to straight away land on the DICOM viewer directly identified by "patientID" and "accessionNumber".

Dear Angshuman, 

Agree with you. Weasis could display the exact exam by accession number.

Make sure you have replaced your servername in place of "DCM4CHEE" in the URL. Also check the log for any errors.

Hi Prakash,

Similar issue is currently being faced inside iOviyam2.1. None of the direct URL launch parameters (patientID, accessionNumber, studyUID and serverName) are working. 

Should be worked upon at priority.

Padmesh

since no update here for url access use accession Number, so we need to get study UID from database with accession number parameter value
than pass it to url like : viewer.html?studyUID=<uidgetfromdb> :)

Hi,

Have you tried the patched war file available for download from JIRA OV-241?

Please deploy the patched war file and try with URL 
http://Server_IP:Port/oviyam2/oviyam?patientID=xxx&accessionNumber=xxx&serverName=xxx

yes.. just like i was reported before.
if patient have 3 study different, the latest study always show first and other study list per date using this query :
http://Server_IP:Port/oviyam2/oviyam?patientID=xxx&accessionNumber=xxx&serverName=xxx

frankly what we need is like the studyUID treatment, unfortunately our HIS doesn't recognize studyUID keep on PACS, just recognize accessionNumber or patientID or another patient demographic.

Ok.  Is the Accession Number is same for all three studies?  If yes, have to use any other unique filter.

I tested with attached war on the JIRA card, and unfortunately the issue remains 

I have 3 different studies .. however, when I access using "accessionNumber" parameter, it just shows the first study 


Using studyUID as parameter works fine.

http://Server_IP:Port/oviyam2/oviyam?patientID=xxxx&accessionNumber=yyyy&serverName=DCM4CHEE is the required URL syntax for accessing the studies directly from an external application.

https://server-addr/oviyam2/oviyam?patientID=XXXXX&accessionNumber=XXXXX&serverName=DCM4CHEE
works. 

* The above URL in success cases seem to redirect to the 

1. The above requires our older implementations to change existing deployments - thankfully the URL is configurable :) 
2. For the new versions, I dont mind the approach. 

* The above URL pattern, imho, does not behave appropriately for i) Accessions without any study yet  and ii) invalid accessions. 
In the both the cases, they return an empty page and HTTP status code 200. Imho, this confuses the user without any sort of prompt or indication to the user on the result of the action or information. 
Would it be appropriate to send out HTTP 404 status at least in such cases? 

Let me know please

Actually, unlike what I thought, changing the URL will not help. 
The oviyam2 is installed behind a proxy (apache), and the SSL connection terminates at Apache, and the route happens over HTTP, so Oviyam Tomcat sees it coming from just HTTP. 
When oviyam sends back 302, the response comes back with http://server-addr, and the front end will throw error of not same origin policy :(

Hi 

refer this page. https://udara-research.blogspot.com/2019/06/how-to-integrate-oviyam-dicom-view-with.html
sometimes it may help you to OPEN a patient's history via URL. But I practiced with the older version of DCM4CHEE.
