Conquest PACS MAG structure

  • Hey folks!

    I'm testing something out - is it possible (and I'm sure that it is), to provide a way to store images in a more structured manner - like MAG:/2025/11/19 - and put folders of IDs in there ? Or to customize it a bit to have MAG:/2025/11/19/PATIENTNAME-SURNAME-ID

    I'm guessing it has to do something and provide ImportConverter with right values, like

    check if 2025 exists, if not create it, check if 11 exists if not create it, check if 19 exists if not create it and then write in it...

    In time of the writing... How big hit would that actually be, resources wise?

  • Hi,

    you can pass a format string or lua program to FileNameSyntax to do just this. The format string can takes substrings of any item. However, it does not split the name in parts. Have a play. The manual is quite complete. If you use a lua program, it is up to you to remove characters that are not allowed in filenames, and you have to catch the situation where the item is empty or missing. Folders are created automatically.
