Hello,

This is the Orthanc identifier of the series.
More info here: Orthanc identifiers — Orthanc Book documentation

You are welcome,

Hi @alireza

Furthermore, you can call http://localhost:8042/tools/lookup with the SeriesInstanceUID as a paylod and you’ll get the orthanc ID in return.

curl http://192.168.0.10:8042/tools/lookup -d "1.3.6.1.4.1.14519.5.2.1.4334.1501.987210746875536063369487094863"
[
   {
      "ID" : "0e5c6564-812022ba-65130a8a-448bcf88-8d876fac",
      "Path" : "/series/0e5c6564-812022ba-65130a8a-448bcf88-8d876fac",
      "Type" : "Series"
   }
]

HTH,

Thanks Alain, this helps a lot

Just out of curiosity, why not using the SeriesInstanceUID? instead of the Orthanc ID?

Although a SeriesInstanceUID is supposed to be unique in the world, we have observed that there are quite a number of badly configured worklists servers or modalities that are actually reusing these DICOM IDs multiple times. This is the reason why we actually used a combination of all 4 DICOM IDs in order to minimize collisions. Also note that Orthanc was introduced before the DicomWEB standard was accepted hence the core Orthanc API that is not using the same IDs as DicomWEB.

HTH,

Alain
