DPGW 1.12

Significant changes in this version

  • Support for RTSTRUCT display with the “Load RT Struct” function, it is now possible to display Radiotherapy Structure (RTS) modality data, for example, a radiotherapy plan over a series of CT modality images. This function is called up by right-clicking on the RTS data displayed in the working set of images to bring up the context menu and then selecting the “Load RT Struct” action.
  • Lower limb angle measurements have been modified in this version of the DICOM viewer and now also show laterality angles. The laterality of the angles can be determined using the right sidebar in the “Measurement toolset”, drop-down menu ‘Laterality’ in the “Lower limb angles” tab. After measuring the lower limb angles, the following angles are displayed:
    • HKA – hip-knee-ankle angle
    • mLDFA – mechanical lateral distal femoral angle
    • mPTA – medial proximal tibial angle
    • JLCA – joint line convergence angle
  • Automatic study folding is used to automatically fold multiple open studies in the “Viewer working set” in one window. The method of automatic folding of the studies can be selected using the menu that is called up by clicking on the “ Study folding ” field in the “ Working set configuration ”. Possible ways of folding studies:
    • Manual – unpacking/packing of the study in the “ Viewer working set” is possible only by selecting the action “ Expand/collapse” from the “Floating panel of the viewer working set” or from the optional field for adding an action located to the right of the study information in the “ Viewer working set”
    • Manual (shared) – this setting is similar to the previous “Manual” setting, but in the case of a multi-monitor station, unpacking/packing will be applied to all “Viewer working sets” of all monitors
    • By active study – only the study that is displayed in the “Image Data Display Window” will be expanded and all others will be automatically collapsed
  • Electronic pencil this digitizing tool is used to draw objects into the edited image or video, namely a free drawing, ellipse or arrow with a note.
  • Support for HP rotation in case of multiple Hanging Protocols set up, e.g. commonly for mammography images, it is now possible to loop through the preset HPs within an HP group without switching to the next HP group, or to loop through HP groups using the “HP loop/HP stage loop” tool or keyboard shortcut. This function can be found in the right sidebar of the “Display toolset”.
  • New configuration dialog for setting up monitors In this version of the product, the configuration tool for customizing the system UI view and managing connected monitors has been modified.

Significant changes in this version

  • Support for speech-to-text conversion using the “Voice note” function, which is used to record and archive an audio track, e.g. a spoken note for a selected study. By enabling the option to trigger the conversion to text, once the voice note is saved, the text will be generated and inserted into the structured report finding in the “Create SR” function.
  • Cardiothoracic index measurement (CTR) this newly added tool is used to measure the ratio of the maximum width of the cardiac shadow to the maximum internal chest width in a percentage ratio calculation.
  • Automatic OSD profile layout is used for automatic switching between different profiles of OSD labels (On Screen Display), i.e. image information, if they are configured and assigned to different modality types (DX, CR, CT, MR…). These profiles can be configured using the “Profile editor” function. When the function is activated, the OSD profile will be automatically selected according to the displayed examination and the modality with which the examination was performed.
  • The allocated memory indicator on the status bar is used to display the used memory of the viewer and to adjust its size. Each open study in this DICOM viewer needs a certain amount of RAM memory of the PC station you are working on and this function serves both as an informative purpose for displaying the used memory and the possibility of setting and allocating additional memory for working with image documentation.
  • Ability to delete measurements and close bookmarks without confirmation by adding a “Do not ask me again” option to the “Close all bookmarks” and “Delete all objects from current session” confirmation windows. By checking this option, you will not be asked to confirm closing all bookmarks or deleting all measurements next time.
  • Modify the “Track Study Changes” function to display a notification of a changed number of images in the displayed study and the ability to reload a series of images with an updated number of images. In case you have an incomplete series displayed in the “Image Data Display Window” and additional images will be added to this series, you will be notified by a flashing “Track Study Changes” tool icon, when you click on this tool icon the series will be reloaded with the current number of images. After the series of images have been reloaded, all measurements and image postprocessing will be removed.

DPGW 1.9

Videoconference

The new version brings the option of extending DPGW with the “Videoconferencing” tool, which is used for real-time sharing of video and audio via a videoconference call with support for multiple call participants. Videoconferencing calls can be established via the internal network of the healthcare facility and therefore do not require an internet connection. External users can also be connected to the videoconference call, similar to other services such as Meets, Teams, Zoom, etc.

Videomanagement

This version of DPGW adds the possibility to manage video input signals to individual display monitors using the “Videomatrix” tool. This tool provides easy switching and compositing of matrixes from different video sources (laparoscope, PC, microscope, operating light, etc.) to any monitor.

Significant changes in this version

  • CMPR (Curved Multiplanar Reconstruction) and associated tools are used to create and display a curved surface created from the volume of the selected series, allowing the user to display, for example, the stretched path of a blood vessel, spine, etc.
  • SMPR (Straightened Multiplanar Reconstruction) and associated tools allow you to create and display straightened projections according to the curve you have created. This reconstruction always displays a perpendicular plane to the created curve axis and thus simplifies e.g. MR imaging of intervertebral discs.

DPGW 1.8

Significant changes in this version

  • Support for shared user accounts in Dicompass Cloud – This new feature allows users who, for example, evaluate radiology examinations for multiple healthcare facilities can easily switch between their Dicompass Cloud accounts for those healthcare facilities. By Opening the Shared Accounts tool in the browser settings, you can choose a target cloud account and work uninterrupted “on another workstation”. To create shared accounts in the Dicompass Cloud, you must enter your login details by adding them to the DICOM browser configuration. After that, login details for specific access to the target cloud account will no longer be required and the user only needs one secure login to their Dicompass Cloud account.
  • Manual Nipple Position Tool – The “Set Nipple Position” tool allows the user to manually adjust the position of the nipple in the image if the nipple localization was incorrectly detected by the viewer. After selecting the “Set Nipple Position” tool, click on the correct nipple location, the yellow highlight will move and then the paired nipples will be repositioned according to the newly selected position.
  • Set the playback speed for all players in a given study – This tool makes working with the DICOM viewer player faster and easier. If you have more than one video/image series displayed in a screen layout, this version of DPGW allows you to set a single playback speed for all layout windows by specifying a “Custom” speed.
  • Waveform multiplex switching – If the ECG modality contains a multiplexer, i.e. multiple ECG signals in one study, this function can be used to select the requested active group of ECG signals
  • Bug Reporting – In case the system is acting in a non-standard way, it is possible to use the “Bug Reporting” tool to capture the current state of the system in a log file with the necessary information for the manufacturer’s support team. This tool is located in the bottom right corner of the screen.
  • Dynamic MRI Stacking – This tool is used for scrolling and switching subseries of MRI series with the selected mouse button and supplements the possible series scrolling with the mouse wheel or with the arrow keys and the “Split Series” tool.
  • Expanded workset configuration options – Now you can use the workset configuration to select the number of columns for displaying thumbnails in the workset and choose how to drag and drop the selected series into panels using widget or by dragging and dropping into a specific panel
  • Save current panel layout – Use this tool to save the currently selected panel layout. When the study is reopened, the panel layout will match the redefined layout selected during saving, in case the hanging protocol is not applied. This tool has replaced the “Save viewer state” function.
  • Hiding the crossing of the localization lines – Now in this version, the circle around the crossing of the localization lines is hidden, where they will no longer block the diagnostics in the MPR view after moving in the volume using the crossing of the localization lines or the 3D cursor.
  • Automatically selected default tool when changing modality – In case you have set default tools for each modality and the panels display examinations of these modalities, the default tools are automatically switched when you switch to the active panel with a different modality, according to the set default tools of the modality.
  • Option to select tool after distance calibration – In the table for entering values displayed by the “Calibration” tool, the function “Tool after calibration” has been added. By selecting this new function, it is possible to select the tool that will be applied to the mouse button after calibrating the distance in the image.

New versions

DPGW 1.7

The new version of DPGW 1.7 brings a graphical redesign of the user interface of the DICOM web browser module, which is now even easier to use. In addition to the modified browser interface, this version includes new diagnostic measurement features and additional tools, which are described below.

Significant changes in this version

  • Improved view of the working set, the ability to wrap panel – This version includes the option of a user-configurable Working Image Set, i.e. a customizable view panel containing thumbnail previews of each series of examination images. This configuration includes pinning the panel to the left or right side of the screen and choosing to display the thumbnails in the panel. You can also minimize and maximize the toolbar as you are used to, but in this version, you can hover over the minimized panel of the Image Work Set to extend it, and the minimized panel will automatically hide when you continue working with the image, giving you more undisturbed space for exam diagnostics.
  • User-selectable series splitting – If the examination contains a merged series of images, it is possible to split the series. For example, a series with dual MR scans with different TE times can be split into two subseries with the same times. In this version the splitting of the series is done automatically when the scan is opened in the viewer, but if it is possible to split the series in more than one way these are offered to the user for selection.
  • Visual differentiation of the primary data source on the timeline – The timeline tool is used to display individual examinations and their details over time for a specific patient in the DICOM viewer DPGW. The new version of DPGW highlights in the patient timeline the examinations that have been delivered via the exchange hospital network to your healthcare facility (e.g. using mDEX, ePACS, ReDiMed…).
  • Doppler US measurement support: Integral, VTI, PHT – In the new version of DPGW, additional diagnostic measurements have been added and it is now possible to perform advanced Integral, VTI, PHT measurements on ultrasound images:

Integral

VTI

PHT

  • Tool for quickly finding any action – To accelerate work, the new version of DPGW has added the ability to search for the required tool. After displaying the quick search tool (also possible by keyboard shortcut), just enter the initial letters of the searched tool and then click the selected mouse button to select it.
  • Visualization of keyboard shortcut mapping, multi-level keyboard mapping – Select this tool to bring up a summary keyboard layout and hover the mouse over a specific key to view its assigned keyboard shortcut. Keyboard shortcuts can now be assigned multi-level, i.e. you can assign multiple keyboard shortcuts to one key. By switching to each level of key shortcuts you can change them according to the selected section.
  • Corrections to incorrectly captured images – The newly added Image Editor feature allows for post-processing image editing, and it is now possible to remove and replace a mischosen side marker, or rotate/axis flip the image, or change the side marking of mammography images.

Image before editing

Edited image

  • Mammography toolbar – This panel complements the existing functions for mammography diagnostics and combines them into a clear tab. The functions in the panel focus on synchronizing mammography image editing by post-processing, automatic alignment of individual images and quick selection of preset hanging protocols.

DPGW 1.6

Significant changes in this version

  • DICOM AE asciification settings – this version of DPGW now allows to store e.g. patient names including diacritics using ASCII Unicode implementation. If your modality can use this feature, it is no longer necessary to “crop” the diacritics for patient demographic data stored in the DPGW PACS archive (e.g. Štěpán Dvořáček vs. Stepan Dvoracek). DPGW also allows reverse compatibility of demographic data asciification.
  • Priority of servers on the timeline – in the case of deployment of the central PACS solution DPGW with connected local PACS archives DPGW, it is possible to newly determine the priority of connected PACS servers and set the primary destination for retrieval and download of medical image documentation. There is no longer a situation where the server, from where to download the data, is not precisely determined if one study exists on multiple servers.
