multiple dicom images in one study

[robertvanommen]

Hi,

Radiology studies usually contain more than one dicom image.
I want to create a channel that sends out a HL7-QRY message uppon recieving dicom images, but it should only send 1 message per whole study
(so Mirth should only send 1 HL7-QRY message when i send a CT study)

How would i do this?

Re:multiple dicom images in one study

Is there a solution for my earlier question?
I think it can be done with javascript, but i have no programming skills.
Does anybody have some pointers for me?

Regards,

Robert

I was just wondering if you had found an answer to your question because I'm having the same issue. I have tried for a couple of days to write a JavaScript that would remove duplicates but it would be nice to have the channel to only accept the first message.

The best way to handle this would be to write the Study UID to a database table.

In the source transformer create a filter that does a DB lookup to see if the Study UID exists in the Table. If it does then filter the message. If it does not than the first step of your transformer should a DB insert of the Study UID. Then you can pass the message on to your destinations.
