### J.4.2 Replicate The Image IOD

An alternative method is to replicate the entire Image SOP Instance with a new SOP Instance UID, and assign each Image IOD it's own identifying Attributes. In this case, each of the Study Instance UID and the Accession Number values can be used in their own Image SOP Instance.

Both Image SOP Instances may reference a single MPPS SOP Instance (via the MPPS SOP Instance UID in the Referenced Performed Procedure Step Sequence).

Each individual Image SOP Instance may reference it's own related Study SOP Instance, if it exists (via the Referenced Study Sequence). This Study SOP Instance has a one to one relationship with the corresponding Requested Procedure.

If an MPPS SOP Instance is created, it may reference both related Study SOP Instances.

The modality may:

- For all Series in the MPPS, replicate the entire Series of Images using new Series Instance UIDs

- Create replicated Image SOP Instances with different SOP Instance UIDs that use the new Series Instance UIDs, for each of the two or more Requested Procedures

- In each of the Image SOP Instances, using values from the corresponding Requested Procedure:

  - create a Request Attributes Sequence containing an Item containing the following Attributes:

    - Requested Procedure ID

    - Scheduled Procedure Step ID

    - Scheduled Procedure Step Description

    - Scheduled Protocol Code Sequence

  - copy from the Modality Worklist:

    - Study Instance UID

    - Accession Number

  - create a Referenced Study Sequence containing an Item containing the following Attribute:

    - Study SOP Instance in the Referenced Study Sequence from the Worklist

- In the MPPS SOP Instance (if supported):

  - create a Scheduled Step Attributes Sequence containing two or more Items each containing the following Attributes:

    - Study Instance UID

    - Referenced Study Sequence

    - Accession Number

    - Requested Procedure ID

    - Scheduled Procedure Step ID

    - Scheduled Procedure Step Description

    - Scheduled Protocol Code Sequence

  - include the following Attribute value that may be generated during image acquisition, if supported:

    - Procedure Code Sequence

- In both the Image SOP Instances and the MPPS SOP Instance (if supported):

  - create a Performed Procedure Step ID

    - include the following Attribute values that may be generated during image acquisition, if supported:

      - Performed Procedure Step Start Date

      - Performed Procedure Step Start Time

      - Performed Procedure Step Description

      - Study ID
