Working with text values<\/h3>\n

Search for exact text:<\/p>\n

(Image.Tag('0008,0060') = 'CT')<\/pre>\n
matches CT but not ct, Ct, cT.<\/p>\n
Search for multiple exact text:<\/p>\n
(Image.Tag('0008,0060') In\u00a0['CT', 'MR'])<\/pre>\n
matches CT and MR, but not ct, Ct, cT, mr, Mr, mR.<\/p>\n
Search for multiple text values (case-insensitive):<\/p>\n
(Image.Tag('0008,0060').Match('CT, MR'))<\/pre>\n
matches CT, MR, ct, Ct, cT, mr, Mr, mR.<\/p>\n
Search for multiple text values (case-insensitive):<\/p>\n
(Image.Tag('0008,0060').Match('CT, MR'))<\/pre>\n
matches CT, MR, ct, Ct, cT, mr, Mr, mR.<\/p>\n
Search for partial text matches (case-insensitive):<\/p>\n
(Image.Tag('0008,0080').Contain('hospital'))<\/pre>\n
matches ‘Hospital of Columbia’, ‘Columbia Hospital’<\/p>\n
Search for multiple partial text matches (case-insensitive):<\/p>\n
(Image.Tag('0008,0080').Contain('hospital, research'))<\/pre>\n
matches ‘Hospital of Columbia’, ‘Columbia Hospital’, ‘Columbia Research Institute’, ‘Research Institute of Columbia’<\/p>\n
Search for values starting with a specific text (case-insensitive):<\/p>\n
(Image.Tag('0008,0080').StartWith('hospital'))<\/pre>\n
matches ‘Hospital of Columbia’ but not ‘Columbia Hospital’.<\/p>\n
Search for values starting with multiple specific text (case-insensitive):<\/p>\n
(Image.Tag('0008,0080').StartWith('hospital, research'))<\/pre>\n
matches ‘Hospital of Columbia’, ‘Research Institute of Columbia’, but not ‘Columbia Hospital’, ‘Columbia Research Institute’.<\/p>\n
Search for values ending with a specific text (case-insensitive):<\/p>\n
(Image.Tag('0008,0080').EndWith('hospital'))<\/pre>\n
matches ‘Columbia Hospital’ but not ‘Hospital of Columbia’.<\/p>\n
Search for values ending with multiple specific text (case-insensitive):<\/p>\n
(Image.Tag('0008,0080').EndWith('hospital, research'))<\/pre>\n
matches ‘Columbia Hospital’, ‘Columbia Research Institute’ but not ‘Hospital of Columbia’, ‘Research Institute of Columbia’.<\/p>\n
Search for inequality values:<\/p>\n
(Image.Tag('0008,0060') <> 'CT')<\/pre>\n
matches any value but CT.<\/p>\n
Reverse the results of the ‘inner’ parameters:<\/p>\n
(NOT (Image.Tag('0008,0060') = 'CT'))<\/pre>\n
Working with numbers<\/h3>\n
Match a specific value:<\/p>\n
(Image.Tag('0010,1030') = 50)<\/pre>\n
Match one value from a list of values:<\/p>\n
(Image.Tag('0010,1030') IN [30,33,36,39])<\/pre>\n
Match value using comparison operators:<\/p>\n
(Image.Tag('0010,1030') > 50)\r\n(Image.Tag('0010,1030') >= 50)\r\n(Image.Tag('0010,1030') < 50)\r\n(Image.Tag('0010,1030') <= 50)\r\n(Image.Tag('0010,1030') <> 50)<\/pre>\n
Match a range of values:<\/p>\n
(Image.Tag('0010,1030').BETWEEN(30, 60))<\/pre>\n
Reverse the results of the ‘inner’ parameters.<\/p>\n
(NOT (Image.Tag('0010,1030').BETWEEN(30, 60)))<\/pre>\n
Working with date and time values<\/h3>\n
Dates are represented in the [year][month][day] format, so February 14, 2024 is represented as 20240214.\u00a0 You then write your search parameters the same way as you would for numbers e.g.<\/p>\n
(Image.Tag('0008,0020') =\u00a020240214)\r\n(Image.Tag('0008,0020') > 20240214)\r\n(Image.Tag('0008,0020') >= 20240214)\r\n(Image.Tag('0008,0020') < 20240214)\r\n(Image.Tag('0008,0020') <= 20240214)\r\n(Image.Tag('0008,0020') <> 20240214)\r\n(Image.Tag('0008,0020') IN [20240214, 20241108]\r\n(Image.Tag('0008,0020').BETWEEN(20240214, 20250214))<\/pre>\n
Similarly, time is represented in the [hour][minutes][second] format, so 10:30.24 PM is represented as 223024.\u00a0 You then write your search parameters the same way as you would for numbers.<\/p>\n
Working with patient age (AS-type)<\/h3>\n
Patient age can be returned in a variety of values.<\/p>\n
Image.PatientAge – returns the age in years
\nImage.PatientAgeInDays – returns the age in years
\nImage.PatientAgeInWeeks – returns the age in weeks
\nImage.PatientAgeInMonths – returns the age in months<\/p>\n
The returned values are number values, and you can then use the same search parameters for numbers e.g.<\/p>\n
(Image.PatientAge = 50)\r\n(Image.PatientAgeInDays >= 180)\r\n(Image.PatientAgeInWeeks.BETWEEN(15, 30)\r\n(Image.PatientAgeInMonths < 10)<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
