Caution

Editing patient/study/series information can lead to unexpected consequences. This feature is for advanced users only. DICOM files will be modified during editing.

To prevent unauthorized access to this feature, the DICOM Edit dialog is password protected, similar to the advanced settings.

After the user is authorized, to continue editing the main DICOM tags, users must choose the I understand the risk, unlock editing option.

If unsure of the risks and consequences of editing DICOM tags, it is highly recommended to choose the Exit editing option and close the dialog.

Additionally, users have the ability to delete the patient/study/series in the active tab by pressing the Delete patient/study/series button in the bottom left corner of the dialog. To close the dialog, simply press Close.
