This is a major release with a substantially rewritten NetClient that includes many features formerly only available in ViewBox, and which handles non-image objects. There are now two versions of NetClient, a basic viewer and advanced viewer. In addition, Active Directory can be used to control login, and site security has been tightened. There have also been several bug fixes and user interface refinements, including new toolbuttons in the viewers.
Some of the improvements to the basic viewer include:
- Series view with reference lines
- Initial display in series view
- Multiple image/series selection and manipulation
- Navigation thumbnails, including series rearrangement
- Presentation states are applied
- Key objects are displayed
- Contents of structured reports are displayed
Additional features are available in the advanced viewer:
- Two display panels can be displayed, with ability to fetch and display a prior study in the second panel beside the current study.
- 3D cursor
- Ability to create presentation states and key objects
- Ability to split and merge series
- Palette display protocol with drag and drop of series to one of four viewports
Improvements to the website include:
- Active Directory user authentication for login
- Ability to launch additional Connect windows from home page
- Access to just key objects and associated images from a series view
- Improved, more user-friendly admin page
This release merges FileRoom and FileRmSvc, and includes upgrade paths from FileRoom 4.0.0 and FileRmSvc 3.5.1. It uses the service & log-reader architecture so that all functionality is implemented in services. Coordination of forwarding and prefetch has also been moved to the database, permitting an API (application programming interface) that other vendors' products (such as MRS) can call to generate forwards, and also permitting easier management of forwards through a user interface and greater robustness when some forwards fail. Body part matching has been made configurable so it can be adapted to individual clients' needs. Purge has been moved to a separate service, which is an installation option, and StudyChanger is also now part of the build. A manual for tech support administration of FileRoom is now included.
FileRoom also uses a new web-accessible licensing with up to four license options, which are unlimited volume, Dashboard & FileRoom UI grid interface, archive purge, and API (for MRS). Limited-volume license holders are permitted 10,000 studies/year.
Study priority information is now processed and stored. Also, additional information about images and non-image objects is stored because they are expected to be useful in the future. Header tags with multiple value headers (e.g., referring physician) can now be matched for a selective forward.
This release includes MRS integration and support for Mammo CAD SR. When run along with the report generation program from Mammography Reporting System, annotation of different types that are made with ViewBox are automatically exported to the MRS report and added as findings of the three most common types of findings (microcalcification, masses, and densities). This release also allows MG image transformation to be disabled for Fuji customers, allows HIPAA logging to be disabled for standalone installations, and remembers the title in the create-key-object form.
