I just have DICOM listener that receives inbound DICOM, re-writes some DICOM header values to de-identify data and then uses File Writer to write the files back to a specified directory.



I am only seeing the error on a subset of studies. I googled the error and there was some mention of possible issue with private DICOM sequence data but wanted to see if anyone else has found a workaround.



Running Mirth 3.0.3.
