WARNING
If you modify the Patient ID, Last name, First name or Date of
birth on a patient in the archive, be aware that the contents of the
archived images for that patient is not updated. If the images are
still in the buffer and not yet archived, the image files are updated
if you modify any patient information, but not if the images are
archived. So if any of these images are later on exported to
DICOM media or DICOM server, they will still contain the original
patient information, as it was before you did the modification in
the archive. The system does not alter the contents of the image
files at all when doing DICOM export.
Note: Patient ID may also refer to patient's "other ID". For further
information see "Using other ID" on page 99.
CAUTION
Do NOT use '\' or '^' in patient information fields, as these
characters might cause problems with some DICOM devices.
