When importing DICOM files, you can manually edit the accession number of the imported exam(s) if the following INI option exists in the COMMON section or the CD import’s mode section:
ImportAllowEditExam=True
Starting in version v3.4.0.2 you can improve this feature by turning the accession entry into a “combo” control where you can either manually type a new accession number or choose from predefined choices in a drop down menu. To do this, add the line below to your COMMON section or the CD import’s mode section. The format is a pipe delimited ( | ) list of drop down choices:
AccessionChoiceValues=A{{NowYY}}{{NowMonth}}{{NowDay}}{{NowHour}}{{NowMinute}}{{NowSecond}}|Outside-StudyNote the use of macros in the first entry to create a uniquely generated accession number, and the use of the new {{NowYY}} macro which creates a two digit year.
This example creates three different uniquely generated accession numbers to choose from with an initial two digit modality code in each:
AccessionChoiceValues=CT{{NowYY}}{{NowMonth}}{{NowDay}}{{NowHour}}{{NowMinute}}{{NowSecond}}|XR{{NowYY}}{{NowMonth}}{{NowDay}}{{NowHour}}{{NowMinute}}{{NowSecond}}|US{{NowYY}}{{NowMonth}}{{NowDay}}{{NowHour}}{{NowMinute}}{{NowSecond}}
