Hi all –
I just noticed that I can upload an image to Orthanc without a PatientID explicitly assigned – it seems like having a PatientID used to be a hard requirement, because the PatientID is hashed to create the OID at every level. I’m curious how Orthanc infers a consistent PatientID substitute for OID hashing if it doesn’t find one explicitly? It would be useful for me to be able to predict OIDs for some unfortunately over-anonymized files with no PatientID without needing to impute my own dummy PatientIDs before sending them to Orthanc.
Thanks,
Derek–
