Engineering Notes
Groups images into a series within a study. Consistent Series UIDs ensure all slices from an acquisition appear together in PACS.
Troubleshooting
Images from the same acquisition appearing as multiple series usually means the modality is generating a new Series Instance UID per image slice. Check modality DICOM configuration.
