[Insight-users] SOP instance ID conflict

[Nicholas Tustison]

Hi,

I have an issue where I'm trying to push some processed images back
to PACS at my institution using storescu.  I get no error message using
storescu but I can't find them in the database and they appear lost.  
The IT people tell me that there is a conflict with the SOP instance ID
that is generated for each slice and that images exist already with 
those same IDs.  However, I can look at the header and clearly see that 
it is a randomly generated number.  

I was hoping to provide my IT people with additional information as I don't
think they have much experience with people at the institution wanting to 
do this type of thing.  I was thinking that perhaps the conflict message might
be indicative of an incorrect prefix but that's just a wild guess.  Has anybody
else encountered a similar problem?

Thanks,
Nick
