Merging studies automatically on basis of Study Instance UID

[nutun]

Hi,

I have deployed dcm4chee-arc-psql:5.21.0-secure (dockerized). I have multiple modalities connected with my server which are receiving MWL and archiving images on dcm4chee PACS server. Now I want to do the following:

There is a MRI study performed and archived on PACS having Patient ID 123456, Accession # 191231001 and Study Instance UID 1.2.826.0.1.3680043.2.360.10193. Then a CR of same patient performed having Patient ID 123456, Accession # 191231001 and Study Instance UID 1.2.826.0.1.3680043.2.360.10193 (same as in MRI). So the information of patient is same but scans are performed on two different modalities.

I want to ask how can I merge these two studies automatically. As CR should be archived on PACS as part of MRI study.

Need guideline on this.

Hi,

Please explain. In this case, Should we generate 2 ORM messages. One for study description 1 and 2nd messages for Study Description 2 with same accession and SIUD?

Sorry. I mean scheduled procedure 1 and 2.

Think you mix up the DICOM term of a Study/Procedure with the examination of the Patient on one device, which maps to the DICOM term Scheduled/Performed Procedure Step.

Because a DICOM Study is identified by its Study Instance UID, "merging" of objects created by different devices with equal Study Instance UID to one DICOM Study is implicitly done.

Thank you gunterze.

Your reply solved my problem.
