[DICOM] InstitutionName is returned empty

Good morning,

We would like to share with you a doubt, and we would appreciate if you could read and answer us.

Currently we have a file titled: "Imagen PatientID 9358340 PatientName Milagros ReasonForStudy 350290 InstitutionName 350290  StudyDate 20220927.xml" , in which we have the following InstitutionName:

    <DicomAttribute keyword="InstitutionName" tag="00080080" vr="LO">
        <Value number="1">350290</Value>
    </DicomAttribute>

Once we generate the DICOM file using the command  from the tool named "xml2dcm" inside the DICOM simulator package dcm4che:

./xml2dcm -x "Imagen PatientID 9358340 PatientName Milagros ReasonForStudy 350290 InstitutionName 350290  StudyDate 20220927.xml" -o "Imagen PatientID 9358340 PatientName Milagros ReasonForStudy 350290 InstitutionName 350290  StudyDate 20220927.dcm"

 

We obtain the image in a .dcm file.

When we open it in the viewer, it is shown InstitutionName = 350290

 

However, when we request from the ESB with HealthShare 2020 version, using PatientName = "Milagros" , the destination system which is being simulated from the dcm4che DICOM simulator, responds with this image indicating the InstitutionName without data, i.e., empty:

DESTINATION Simulator response using dcm4che tool:

 

Response as seen from the ESB:

The ESB response shows the same as the simulator output, InstitutionName a (null)

 

 

Please could you point us to documentation, references, examples, hints, classes or tools by which to debug?
