Hello, I have an installation with the latest version of dcm4chee-arc, I populate the worklist correctly, but when I receive the studies from the various machines most of them change the patient's name with (null) What should I do?

Thanks

Do the modalities make use of worklist before they send the studies to archive? If they do use MWL and send the correct PatientID, the PatientName should not get changed in the archive even if they do not send any value. Attribute Update Policy is set to SUPPLEMENT for PATIENT level.

My fault, I carried a bug for years, the old version of dcm4Chee ignored that call HL7...
I think you can cancel the conversation, I have other questions but it's better to create a new conversation.

Thank you
