)

    Remarks

    This method is functionally equivalent to the SendImages method except that all the attributes from the Update dataset are appended to each instance before it is sent over the network.  Note that the original data, whether on disk or in memory is not modified in any way – only the data sent is changed.  Attributes which are present in both the original data and in the update dataset will be over-written by the update value.
    The main usage of this method is to comply with the requirements of the IHE “Patient Information Reconciliation” profile, which requires all data provided by an image archive to reflect the latest known patient demographics, so by using this method it is possible to apply such changes without needing to change the data help on disk.

    In typical usage, Update may just contain a single attribute, the patient’s name, though where there has been a patient merge, it may also contain the patient’s ID.
    For further details on the data types acceptable for Data, see the SendImages method.
