I know that two different images can't share the same SOPInstanceUID.
The SOPInstanceUID attribute is unique world-wide..
But what about the SeriesInstanceUID?
Is that also unique world-wide or just unique inside it's root StudyInstanceUID?
Take a look at this example,
Code: Select all
Patient001
{
Study001
{
Series001
{
Image001
Image002
Image003
}
Series002
{
Image004
}
}
Study002
{
Series003
{
Image005
}
}
}
Patient002
{
Study003
{
Series001
{
Image006
Image007
Image008
}
}
}
Is that allowed by DICOM if they are in different Studies? Or should the STORAGE-SCP
rename any incomming SeriesInstanceUID if it already exists in the system
in a different study?
Thanks in advance!
