Save the studies in the directory by PatientsID

moneer · August 6, 2024, 3:19pm

I need to save the dicom images that i recieved in format like:
D:/Orthanc/{PatID}/{Study_uid}/…
I just see the Orthanc saved the studies in lots of folders.
I tried to use Lua but it can not catch the path by Rest API

Any one know how to solve this issue.

function sanitize(s)
   if s == nil then
       return nil
   end
   -- remove all characters that you don't want to have in a path
   s = string.gsub(s, " ", "-")
   s = string.gsub(s, "/", "-")
   s = string.gsub(s, "\\", "-")

   return s
end

-- adapt for windows/linux
-- don't forget trailing / or \\

-- root = '/tmp/dicom-files/'
-- sep =  '/'

root = 'C:\\Orthanc-organized-storage\\'
sep =  '\\'

Thank you very much bacrickboom.
It worked but the study removed from Orthanc because of you use " Delete(instanceId) ".
Can we handel this by update or reinsert the new path of study inside the orginal database or inside Mysql if we use it.
What I have to add in Lua script.

You are welcome.
What you want to achieve is not doable with Orthanc (at least out of the box).
