Link Instances to MWL

Overview

One may choose to link instances of a study to an existing Modality Worklist Item in the following cases :

• MWL is scheduled before study is sent to archive
• MWL is scheduled after study is sent to archive

In both the above cases,

• if modality generated a wrong Study Instance UID for the study which is associated with the Modality Worklist, then by using this feature, the study is rejected (preferably) with Incorrect Modality Worklist rejection reason and the attributes of MWL are associated with the new copied study.
• if Study Instance UIDs of study match with that of MWL, then only the attributes on study and series level are updated with attributes of the modality worklist item.

Configuration

By default, archive comes pre-configured with DCM4CHEE Web Application. To be able to use services for MWL, add MWL_RS as Web Service Class. To do this, go to Configuration -> Devices -> dcm4chee-arc -> Device Extension -> Child Objects -> Web Applications -> DCM4CHEE. Select additionally MWL_RS for field Web Service Class and Save.
