Hello
a little up for this old unanswered question because i have the exact same one. What is the policy when editing dicom tags, for instance, to correct patient weight that was incorrectly entered the first time ?
should a new seriesUID be created for this single edit ? other tags added ?
Since the edit was made to correct a mistake, it would make sense to discard the incorrect series entirely, and thus keeping the SeriesUID. However, different PACS may handle this case differently when receiving the corrected images. Some might discard the new series because it already has series with the same SeriesInstanceUID.

thanks
Thomas

Hi,

I would recommend to check following chapters of the standard:
https://dicom.nema.org/medical/dicom/current/output/chtml/part03/sect_C.12.html#sect_C.12.1.1.9
https://dicom.nema.org/medical/dicom/current/output/chtml/part04/sect_B.4.html#sect_B.4.1.3

Regards,
Patrick

Thanks Patrick.

Unfortunately, I don't think this fully answers the case I was referring to. This part deals with SCPs modifying attributes to reach conformance, and how to do it properly.
here I'm talking about editing values because they were wrongly entered in the first place. So the question is : when I do this correction, do I have to create a new Series/SOP Instance UID ?
The only thing I can take from sect_C.12.1.1.9 is that it's OK to keep the previous SOP/Series Instance UID when a SCP changes Attributes for some reason, so it should also be ok for me when I manually correct Attributes.
