SeriesNumber reorder

Renumber series so they sort in the intended clinical order.

Problem

The scanner numbered series out of clinical order — the pre-contrast series is numbered 3 and the post-contrast is numbered 2. Radiologists expect series to display in logical order (scout, pre-contrast, post-contrast, delayed). You need to renumber the series so they sort correctly in the PACS viewer.

Steps

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

2. Filter for Series Number (0020,0011) and double-click to edit.

3. Enter the new number — e.g. 45. The IS VR enforces integer values only:

   • 10.5 (decimal) → rejected: “Must be a whole number (no decimals)”
   • SeriesOne (text) → rejected: “Must be a number”

4. Click Save change.

5. Repeat for each series that needs renumbering. Ensure no two series in the same study end up with the same Series Number.

Expected Result

• Series Number displays the corrected integer with gold highlighting.
• Decimal and alphabetic values are rejected with validation errors.
• Series appear in numeric order in the Files tree panel.
