Use of OtherID

nikhil86 · Post by **nikhil86** » Tue Jan 13, 2009 11:43 am

I want to know when is the Patient table of Pacsone is updated?
Also what is use of OtherID?
How can we set the value of otherID in the database?
What I think is that when we receive a study from a modality, only then is the patient table updated.
Please HELP...

The Other Patient ID information is parsed from the Other Patient ID (0010,1000) data element from the received Dicom study. It'll be updated when the same Dicom study is updated and pushed to PacsOne Server with the updated information.

I tried to make the OtherID field modifiable by changing some code in modifyPatient.php and patient.php.I was successful as that field became editable, new otherid could be entered, it was saved in the patient's recrd, in DB also Patient table contained new value of otherid.
BUT, the updation in table "dbjob" by "modifyPatient.php"could not be interpreted.
What does aetitle value signifies in djob table?(The code sets it to _Gender for changing sex of a patient.)
I defined $title as _otherid but dbjob failed.
I hope I am able to convey my problem.
PLEASE HELP

Actually the problem is Everything is updated when I modify Otherid except the Raw Dicom image. When i click on Instance link below the thumbnail I saw all the DICOM info except the newly entered otherid field.
I have also made an entry for Otherid (0100,1000) in the Dicom.php file.

HELP REQUIRED SIR

1. The PHP scripts only modify the database tables, but not the raw Dicom images.

2. The modification of OtherID (0100,1000) is currently not supported in the latest version (6.1.2) of PacsOne Server, so we'll need to add it to the next release (6.1.3) when schedule permits.
