[Insight-users] SOP instance ID conflict

[Daniel Blezek]

Hi Nick,

  While your UID might look random, if the PACS already has an image with
that same ID, your C-STORE will be rejected.  Can you re-run your processing
and verify that a new UID is generated?  dcmdump is very helpful here.

  I assume you used GDCM.  This has a unique prefix and so should not
generate collisions.

  Could you post an image or upload one somewhere?  Sometimes PACS errors
are not specific enough to understand why an image was rejected.

Best,
-dan
