StudyDescription / ProcedureCode correction

Correct the study description and procedure code to match the performed exam.

Problem

The Study Description field says “CHEST W/O CONTRAST” but the procedure actually included contrast. Or the procedure code is missing entirely and needs to be added for billing reconciliation. You need to edit study-level descriptor tags that affect how the study is categorized in the PACS and billing systems.

Steps

1. Open the file (⌘O) and switch to Edit mode (⌘3).

2. Study Description (0008,1030) — filter for “Study Description”, double-click, enter the corrected text (e.g. CHEST W/ CONTRAST), and save.

3. Accession Number (0008,0050) — filter for the tag, double-click, enter the RIS-linked accession number (e.g. ACC12345), and save.

4. Referring Physician (0008,0090) — filter, double-click, enter PHYSICIAN^REFERRED, and save.

5. Study Date (0008,0020) — filter, double-click, enter 20260607 in YYYYMMDD format. Invalid formats like 2026/06/07 are rejected with the message “Must be exactly 8 digits: YYYYMMDD”.

6. Study Time (0008,0030) — filter, double-click, enter 231800 in HHMMSS format. Invalid formats like 12 o-clock are rejected with a validation error.

7. All changes can be undone individually with ⌘Z or in sequence.

Expected Result

• All five study-level tags display corrected values with gold highlighting.
• Study Date validation rejects slashed format (2026/06/07 → error).
• Study Time validation rejects non-numeric formats (12 o-clock → error).
• The dirty counter shows the total number of modified tags across all edits.
• Each save is a separate undoable transaction — you can undo step-by-step back to the original state.
