Modality Worklist mismatch repair

Reconcile study tags that don't match the originating Modality Worklist entry.

Problem

A modality (e.g. CT scanner) queried the Modality Worklist with incorrect patient demographics, resulting in DICOM files with wrong Patient Name, Patient ID, or Accession Number. The study cannot be matched to the correct patient record in the PACS. You need to repair these tags to align with the worklist.

Steps

1. Open the mismatched file — click Open files… (⌘O).
2. Switch to Edit mode — click the Edit tab (⌘3).
3. Correct Patient Name — filter for “Patient Name”, double-click, and enter the correct name in PN format (e.g. SMITH^JOHN). PN VR enforces less than or equal to 64 characters per component.
4. Correct Patient ID — filter for “Patient ID”, double-click, and enter the correct MRN (e.g. 021234567). LO VR enforces less than or equal to 64 characters.
5. Correct Accession Number — filter for “(0008,0050)”, double-click, and enter the correct RIS accession number.
6. Correct Study Description — update (0008,1030) to match the ordered procedure code.
7. Verify — all corrected rows appear gold-highlighted. The dirty counter shows the total number of modifications. Each edit is individually undoable (⌘Z).

Expected Result

• Patient Name, Patient ID, and Accession Number display corrected values.
• PN VR enforces less than or equal to 64 characters per component; longer values are rejected.
• LO VR enforces less than or equal to 64 characters; longer values are rejected.
• All corrected tags appear gold-highlighted with the dirty counter showing the total.
• Each edit is individually undoable and redoable.
