An accession number correction system is operable to determine that an accession number of a received DICOM image does not link to any corresponding one of a plurality of medical reports. A query indicating medical report criteria, generated based on the first DICOM image, is transmitted to a report database, and a set of medical reports are received from the report database in response. One report of the set of medical reports that corresponds to the DICOM image is determined by performing a comparison function on the DICOM image and the one reports to generate a comparison value, and by determining the comparison value compares favorably to a comparison threshold. Updated report header data that includes the accession number of the first DICOM image is generated for the one report and is transmitted to the report database for storage.
