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.

  • 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.

Significant changes in this version

  • DICOM Storage Commitment – This service allows the modality or local PACS to send a request for information about successful data store to the target DPGW archive, thus ensuring safe storing of medical image documentation before it is removed from the modality/local PACS cache and preventing possible subsequent data loss. This service can only be configured for modalities supporting DICOM Storage Commitment.

DPGW 1.0

Significant changes in this version

  • New digitization – Digitization now enables the so-called continuous recording mode. In this mode, it is for example possible not only to turn on the recording of the video during the operation, but also to add to the recording what happened 10 minutes ago. Digitization also has a completely new design.
  • Synchronous video playback option – If you have an examination where a recording was made simultaneously from several video sources, it is now possible to start playback of these multiple videos in synchronized mode. Synchronization mode works even if the recording of one of the videos was started at a different time than the recording of the others.
  • Validation of diagnostic monitors – Mandatory validation of the diagnostic monitor can be turned on for selected stations. A reminder of the need for validation is always displayed to the user at the beginning of the day. The user has a choice between performing and postponing the validation. During execution of the validation, a test study is displayed and the user must confirm that its displaying is correct. The validation information is archived in the database and it is also possible to print the validation protocol.
  • Option to filter studies according to the date they were saved in the archive – For smaller medical facilities or users of Dicompass.cloud mailboxes, it is now possible to view, for example, the last 30 studies in the archive according to the date they were saved.
  • A component for fast switching between MPR, MIP and changing slice thickness – A component can now be added directly to the OSD where it is possible to switch from a regular series to MIP with one click and to change the thickness of the reconstructed slice to multiples of the original slice thickness with another click. This component significantly speeds up the work of doctors working with CT or MR.
  • m-DEX exchange network – Data can now be transferred between any two DPGW installations with a very high emphasis on data security. The transmission uses double encryption – TLS + end-to-end (peer-to-peer) encryption. The transmission does not need any open inbound TCP or UDP ports to the organization, only outbound connections. The network also uses load balancing of transmissions, which ensures fast transfer of data to the target organization.

New versions

DPGW 0.43

Significant changes in this version

  • Support of recording and playback of voice notes – it is now possible to record voice notes for the currently viewed studies directly in the viewer, which allows for example the diagnostician to record the findings of the study, which is then transcribed into text by a less busy worker or by a voice recognition service, thus speeding up the work. The voice note is saved in DICOM format, so this note can be easily saved in PACS or sent via exchange networks
  • Sending data from Dicompass.cloud to AET in the CloudBox local network – cloud pacs users now have the option to send data directly from the web interface to DICOM AE, which is in their local network without the need for these two networks to be directly connected. For this communication, it is sufficient that the CloudBox, which is in the user’s local network, has an enabled outgoing connection to the cloud server (which must already be enabled due to the storage of images in the cloud PACS).
  • Share link improvements for external workers – there were several improvements to share links that were introduced in the version 0.42. The main changes include the option to send the link directly to the patient by email or the option to configure the maximum validity period of the links by the administrator
  • Support of sequences in OSD labels – the values of any embedded DICOM tags can now be displayed on the OSD labels on the image, with these values not only in a specific order, but also all the values from the given sequence

DPGW 0.42

Significant changes in this version

  • Sharing examinations with external workers – It is now possible to share a specific examination with an external worker by printing the access code (and optionally handing over the PIN code). This function is intended to completely replace burning of patient image documentation on CDs. The hospital has the option to print a one-page document (optionally with the hospital’s own letterhead) directly from the PACS environment. This document contains a sixteen-digit access code. After entering it into the system, the holder of this code gets access to one given examination. The printed paper also contains a QR code enabling the examination to be displayed without the need to copy the code.
