ExcludeOrphans Field

Summary

Gets or sets a value indicating whether to exclude orphaned results when querying the database for Patients, Studies, Series, or Instances.

Syntax

C++/CLI

public bool ExcludeOrphans

public:  
   bool ExcludeOrphans

Field Value

A value indicating whether to exclude orphaned results when querying the database for Patients, Studies, Series, or Instances.

Remarks

Deleting or overwriting instances can potentially leave orphaned database records.

For example:

Patient1 has one study (Study1)
Study1 has one series (Series1)
Series1 has two instances (Instance1, Instance2)

Removing Instance2 does not leave orphaned records. However, deleting both Instance1 and Instance2 leaves the following orphaned records:

Patient1
Study1
Series1

Calling one of the following query methods with the ExcludeOrphans field of ExtraQueryOptions to true causes orphaned records to be ignored in the resulting DataSet.
