Still different patient IDs after patient merge

[Björn Albers]

Hello,

we've merged in our PACS (dcm4chee-2.18.3-psql) two patients with different

patient ID but the same patient name.

After the merge I can query for the patient name and get only one patient ID which is expected.

But when I download the studies with OsiriX then the studies still have different patient IDs which is unexpected.

I found out that the raw dicom files in our PACS contain both patient IDs, not just one patient ID.

Is this a bug?

Thanks in advance,

Björn

What do you mean by "download the studies with OsiriX " - are you retrieving using DICOM Move (or GET) or importing files.

I retrieved the studies via WADO.

I've checked again:

The problem only occurs with WADO, with C-MOVE the data is ok.

Investigated this further and it looks like the issue is caused by the way OSIRIX handles 'Retrieve Syntax'. If you configure WADO as the retrieve method then there is an option to select a Retrieve Syntax which, if set to 'Original Syntax' causes an issue. OSIRIX uses 'useOrig=true' to request 'Original Syntax' but unfortunately dcm4chee interprets this as send the original dicom file - so patient ID updates are not included.

After changing the WADO retrieve syntax to something else the data is fine. Thanks
