Hi Listers,

 

Is it possible to retrieve a deleted patient? One of our patients got deleted by mistake and we are having to recreate the plan..

 

Thanks

Hey all,

 

 

I'd like to bring this up again if anyone had manage to do this?

I was thinking about copying the plan, importing the QA CT set as a secondary set and changing it to be primary. then set up iso, calculate etc.

 

any thoughts on this?

 

Thanks

Is it possible to have an external script, say one done in Perl, to be able to select a patient and copy a particular plan to a phantom (QA Tools… button)? What I would like to do is start out inside a Pinnacle plan that is an IMRT, start a Pinnacle script which will write to a file the information from this plan that I would need to set up its QA, save and close the plan, copy to the correct phantom, open the new QA plan, and then configure and compute it. Is this all pie in the sky or is it doable? I think I know how to do everything, but the necessary interactions in the Patient Select window.

 

Thanks!

Unless you have a backup of your patient directories I don’t think you can retrieve deleted patients.    We had an incident about 2 yrs. ago where  one of the staff deleted most of the patients off our system (she thought she was deleting the data in DICOM Import directory).  We have an automated nightly backup to a NAS drive and we were able to restore all the patients deleted.  After that incident no one is allowed to delete anything off the system except dosimetry or physics.

Hi Bogdan,
               Yes, that's correct.  If you're using one of the older style servers which have a single disk for patient storage, you may be able to send the patient disk away for forensic data recovery.  However, you'll be without a server in the interim and several hundred if not thousands of pounds out of pocket!  If you have one of the enterprise systems that use RAIDs for storage, then the bare data is scattered over multiple disks and is virtually impossible to recover without even more specialist skills.
I'd recommend backing up to a NAS of some description using an NFS mounted share and an rsync-based script to only copy incremental differences.  As Bruce did, you can then flush the files back on again and rebuild the database in the event of an error.

Thanks,
      Pinnhead.
