WARNINGIf you modify the Patient ID, Last name, First name or Date of 
birth on a patient in the archive, be aware that the contents of the 
archived images for that patient is not updated. If the images are 
still in the buffer and not yet archived, the image files are updated 
if you modify any patient information, but not if the images are 
archived. So if any of these images are later on exported to 
DICOM media or DICOM server, they will still contain the original 
patient information, as it was before you did the modification in 
the archive. The system does not alter the contents of the image 
files at all when doing DICOM export.**
CAUTIONDo NOT use \ or ^ in patient information fields, as these 
characters might cause problems with some DICOM devices.
