Identifiers

The Patient Identifiers (PIDs), in DICOM tag (0010, 0020) Patient ID, are 6 digit random numbers assigned by IMS.  They are called IMS-Global-IDs. PIDs beginning with '1' are LSS images; those beginning with '2' are ACRIN images.

Prior ACRIN and LSS PIDs may be found in 2 DICOM tags:  (0010, 1000) Other Patient IDs and (0013, 0040) Clinical Trial Subject ID.  These prior PIDs are random 5-digit (ACRIN) or 6-digit (LSS) numbers that contain no screening site information; the LSS prior PIDs may have leading zeroes which may or may not appear unless specified that they do so.
