XDS.b support – support of IHE (Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise) RAD-68 profile, which allows registration of all medical records (in case of PACS the registration of image examinations) in a central register of documents. The integration supports work with the MPI (Master Patient Index), thanks to which a consistency in patient identification can be achieved across all systems used in a given healthcare facility
Service for automatic DICOMization of files from a shared folder – if there is a device (e.g. ECG) that cannot produce data in DICOM format but produces for example PDF or JPEG files that contain patient identification in the file name, it is possible to use automatic services that, using a shared folder, automatically convert these files to DICOM format and save them to PACS
Contour interpolation in RTSTRUCT – starting with this version, it is not necessary to draw a contour in each section to mark a 3D volume. Instead, a contour can be drawn only in some sections and interpolation of those drawn contours can be used for other sections. It is possible to interpolate even during the drawing from the last drawn contour to the freshly drawn one, or it is possible to additionally select two sections between which the interpolation can be done
Acceleration of data loading into a browser running on obsolete servers – if DPGW was for some reason installed on an older server that did not have a battery-backed cache controller, image caching was slow because it always waited for physical confirmation of data writing on the disk (so-called fsync). Unlike PACS data, where the use of fsync is critically important for preventing possible data loss in the event of a“hard” server power outage, this confirmation is not necessary for temporary buffered data. Data that is now stored in the archive waits for fsync, data in temporary caches does not. The difference is insignificant on modern servers but on obsolete HW the acceleration is very significant
