Troubleshooting: Hanging protocol configuration does not work

Issue

I have configured hanging protocols through the Customize dialog, but they do not seem to be working.

Details

The problem may be due to the field mapping of the acquisition station.

Solution

Have a system or PACS administrator check the object_detail.hanging_protocol syntax of the station.

To check the field mapping of the station for which hanging protocols are to be configured

1. Launch the IMPAX Administration Tools.

2. Click Source Manager.

3. Switch to the Field Mappings tab.

4. From the station list at the bottom of the tab, select the acquisition station.

5. From the Mapping list, select object_detail.hanging_protocol.

   Check what the syntax is set to hang on. Usually it is series_description (group and element 0x0008103e).

6. If the syntax is not correct, double-click the Expression column and type the new syntax.

   For example, the object_detail.hanging_protocol syntax for a CR station could be set to:

   select( index( getdicomstring(hex(0x00080060)), 'MR', 'CR', getdicomstring(hex(0x00080060)) ), getdicomstring(hex(0x00180081)) + '|' + getdicomstring(hex(0x00180080)), getdicomstring(hex(0x0008103e))

7. After editing, wait for a study to come in.

   This applies the mapping to the station_name.

8. Continue configuring hanging protocols in the Customize dialog.
