How do I correct a patient name?

I deleted an image with the wrong patient name in dcm4chee arc light console and then resent the CR image with the correct patient name.
However, I notice that the image still has the wrong patient name.

In dcm4chee ver2, I was able to change the patient name in this way.

regards,

Toru

Patient details creation / updates are normally done by HL7 ADT messages. For a patient already existing in archive DB, the details are only supplemented on receive of DICOM objects, but existing details are not updated. If HL7 workflows exist in your setup, it is recommended that patient updates are done using HL7 ADT messages. If not, you may use archive's UI / REST Patient Update service

Thank you for the replay.　Since I am a novice administrator, your advice was beyond my understanding.

I installed dcm4chee following the instruction at the URL ; https://www.osirix-viewer.com/installing-dcm4chee-archive-light-open-source-pacs-on-mac/

Through trial and error, I found the following method. ( I don't know whether it is appropriate or not)

on console, enter patient ID

click icon next to inverted triangle (fig-1)

click icon (vertical three dots) (fig-2)

click pen icon (fig-3)

then new open comes up and rename patient and click save

regards,

Toru

Yes, edit patient (pencil) icon is meant to update patient demographics.
