Caret Symbol causing blank patient names in Apteryx/XVCapture
The caret symbol ^ should never be included within patient information, as the caret is the DICOM definition of a name delimiting character. Putting a ^ in the name is interpreted as a separator between an empty string and the next part of the name, which causes data to fail to be included or show up incorrectly within Apteryx.
Example:
If a client is including this character in their patient names, they have to pick something else, or else they need to stop putting non-name information into the patient name fields. This does not have a workaround or resolution, as this symbol is simply used as a separator within the DICOM standard.
