These images are often inherently registered, a useful feature in most cases, but possibly a hindrance when registration modifications are required. To break this registration requires expert knowledge of file structure or specialized software, posing challenges, and potential errors in accidentally or unnecessarily changing other attributes. Barring these changes, the clinic would have to make do with imprecise registrations which compound overall treatment uncertainty.<\/jats:p><jats:p>To address these issues, we present a novel tool designed to simplify the task of changing three often edited attributes: the frame of reference, the series instance unique identifier (UID), and the SOP instance UID. The tool features an intuitive user interface that empowers practitioners, regardless of their expertise, to effortlessly modify these three commonly edited values.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Validation methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Publicly available brain MRI and TCI lung 4DCT images were used to evaluate the software.
