How can i bulk delete studies of an particular institution.

[Nurettin KATRANCI]

We somehow, want to delete previous bulk studies from a particular hospital (about 30.000 studies). Is there any dcm4che2 toolkit command using institution name (or any other way) to do this.

You can try the following:

StudyUIDsList=`mysql  --skip-column-names pacs -ppacs pacsdb -e "select study_iuid from study, series where institution = 'INSTITUTION_NAME' and study.pk =study_fk"

for StudyUID in $StudyUIDs ; do twiddle.sh -uadmin -padmin -s jnp://localhost:1099 invoke "dcm4chee.archive:service=ContentEditService" purgeStudy  $StudyUID ; done

Assuming you type this at dcm4chee PACS terminal, it using mysql DB, substituting INSTITUTION_NAME by the required name and in a default dcm4chee installation without changes in dcm4chee database name, user names nor password. 

I hope it helps!

Your files DICOM are-they in a folder or in a folder with under-folder.
We use dcm4che2 or dcm4che3.

If  I have including your programm:

1. 30.000 studies in differents folders (or folder with under-folder for example Patient1 with folders MR, CS...)
2.  After, I make sort with dates, institution name and so on.
3. Remove file and folder code here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3775694/deleting-folder-from-java
   
4. Or seeing the code following:
   


import java.io.*;

 


public class DeleteFile{

 
  private static void deletefile(String file){


  File f1 = new File(file);

 
  boolean success = f1.delete();


  if (!success){


  System.out.println("Deletion failed.");

   System.exit(0);

   }else{

   System.out.println("File deleted.");

     }

   }

   public static void main(String[] args){


  switch(args.length){

   case 0: System.out.println("File has not mentioned.");


  System.exit(0);

   case 1: deletefile(args[0]);

   System.exit(0);


  default : System.out.println("Multiple files are not allow.");

 
  System.exit(0);

  }

  }

}

I have a idea for making the code of this code.

Using twiddle command seems a better solution. I will try it.

Hi,

I am looking for a way to preserve the SRs while deleting studies. Is there a way to do that. If not then is there a way to delete specific series?

Please let me know. I need this done asap.

Jasmeet.

[Dimitri Pianeta]

1. That meant SR?
2. This files Dicom find in folder or in folder and under-folder.
3. If I am understood that I am looking a serie specific or Protocol Name.

I wish that we are giving more information on your projet of program.

Let me explain. I want to delete old studies but retain their structured report as my physicians only require the report after a few months.

Therefore I need a way to delete other series of a study & keep the structured report which is of modality "SR".
