Edit or split studies

You can edit information for a study such as the patient name or referring physician. You can apply your changes to all series or to selected series, and you can choose to save the changes in the original study or create a copy of the study.

You can split a study by modifying specific series and moving the modified series to a new study. You can leave the unmodified series in the original study or delete them.

In the Patient Study Directory:

1. Right-click (or touch and hold) a study, then select Edit Patient/Study.
2. Make changes to the patient and study information. If you want to retrieve information about the patient from a modality worklist, select Reconcile. Enter information about the patient and select Search. If a match is found, select the patient and select Select.
3. To apply the changes to specific series in the study, select >. A list of series appears on the right. Select the series you want to apply the changes to. Note that this option is only available if the Copy to new study option is selected.
4. To save your changes in a new study, select Copy to new study. To make changes to the original study, do not select this option.

   Note
   If you are modifying only some of the series in the study, the modified series will be moved to a new study. The unmodified series will remain in the original study (unless you choose the Delete original instances option).

5. To apply your changes to all studies for this patient, select Apply changes to all studies for the same patient.
6. If you are saving your changes in a new study and want to delete the original study, select Delete original instances.
7. Select Save.
