Add/Modify tags to the MPPS message

[Pcliga Per]

Hello,

I know it's a common question, but I've not been able to make it works.

Basically, I need to generate a HL7 message when a new exam arrives to the PACS, I've configured MPPSEmulator + MPPS2ORM + HL7Send services and everything is up and running, but I would need to get the DICOM TAG related to the Body Part: 0018 0015 which is not include on the MPPS message.

I tried using coercion cstorerq.xls.

Initially, I tried creating new private DICOM tags according with: https://dcm4che.atlassian.net/wiki/display/ee2/DICOM+Attribute+Filter but those werent' added to the MPPS message, so I guessed it's generated by code, so you cannot modify the tags.

Then, I tried to reuse one of the TAGS I don't need in the MPPS message, for example: 0040 0254, then I changed the cstorerq.xls as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!-- Adding the Body Part TAG to the MPPS -->

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

    <xsl:output method="xml" indent="no"/>

    <xsl:template match="/dataset">

        <dataset>

            <xsl:variable name="bodypartexamined" select="normalize-space(attr[@tag='00180015'])"/>

            <attr tag="00400254" vr="LO"><xsl:value-of select="$bodypartexamined"/></attr>

        </dataset>

    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

But it's not working, does someone know how to solve it?

Extra ball: I would like to know if the private tags can work with MPPS too

Thanks in advance,

Regards
