    In DICOM and HL7 “sex” and “gender” have 2 distinct contextual meanings.

    Gender (identity): an individual's personal sense of being a man, woman, boy, girl, or something else.

    Sex (for clinical use): category that is based upon clinical observations typically associated with the designation of male and female


    WFM support Sex (for clinical use).

    This feature request is to have an additional column to display the Gender.
