How to add missing DICOM attributes in images sent in?

Question

Note this issue is already handled.  Just thought someone else could benefit from it.

There is an issue with the GE Vscan Air in the 1.1 SW on Multiframe files where DICOM tags (0010,0030) Patient Birth Day and (0010,0040) Patient Sex are not sent as part of the image.

The absence of the attribute was causing issues with our Exo Works SW.  Contacted the manufacturer and they confirmed the issue wtih the multiframe files.

Answer 1

We created a mapping on the QIE SCP channel which would create the missing tags and get the customer working again.

if (StringUtils.isBlank(message.getNode('/0010,0030'))) {
   message.setNode('/0010,0030', '');
}
if (StringUtils.isBlank(message.getNode('/0010,0040'))) {
   message.setNode('/0010,0040', '');
}
