Changing viewer version setting requires a manual page refresh

When the user changes some settings, a session refresh updates those settings so they take effect immediately. Changing the assigned viewer was missing from this list of settings. As a result, changes to the applicable viewer didn’t occur until the user initiated a new web session.

Resending into a chain of moveto flags fails to transfer all objects

Successive merges create a series of moveto flags so late arriving objects end up in the appropriate merged study. After deleting the merged study, resends of all but the last merged study failed to register due to mishandling the study identifier.  This has been resolved.

Global restriction for Worklist also applies to Logs page

Global restrictions were unintentionally blocking non-study related data from the Logs page.  This has been resolved.

Sending delete notification to WS devices is not working

The setting to send a notification to a web services device when a study is deleted was not getting saved when edited from the Devices page. The wrong event handler was incorrectly applied.  This has been resolved.

Lock and Login Information for User Accounts do not display updated information

The user account lock status and the login details reported incorrect information when the user selected the account by checking the selection check box at the beginning of the row. The information was also inconsistent when multiple accounts were selected.  This has been resolved.

Error log entry from the client side during Dashlet page load

When loading a dashlet, an exception could occur after login due to failure to check for an initialized variable.  This has been resolved.

Error log entry on window close

A client side exception occurred when the user logged out before the worklist could display immediately after logging in. This has been resolved.

Report edit page reloads in patient folder

When a worklist refresh occurs (manual or automatic) while editing a report in the patient folder on a worklist on which a study disappears, reordering the worklist rows refreshed the report edit page as well, clearing report data that might have been entered.  This has been resolved.

Error in Autocorrection when Patient Name has apostrophe

Autocorrecting studies to orders using patient name as matching criteria and a patient name containing an apostrophe resulted in a search exception and a failure to autocorrect.  This has been resolved.

Attachment upload does not work

Uploading attachments to studies or orders completed without error but the attachment was not saved. This was due to a corrupted environment variable extended by the MCS component’s control script.  This has been resolved.

Open link in notification email doesn't prompt for credentials

The hyperlink in a notification email that launches the images in the web viewer was missing the login prompt. If a browser did not have a valid session cookie already, the web viewer failed to load images.  This has been resolved.

Clear cache from tech view does not always work

When requesting to clear the cache from the Tech View page very quickly after loading the web page, a maintenance procedure might fail to complete before starting clearing the cache, resulting in an error and the cache data remaining in the repository.  This has been resolved.

Suppress validate dotcom error when default changes from null to empty string

The dotcom validation tool reported an error when it detected empty and NULL values in the same database column. This error message has been suppressed.

Users can enable the Notify action without assigning an email address

While an empty email address is appropriate in some notification email configurations, it is required when the list owner is the system account. In these cases, users are prevented from activating the action until an email address is provided.

Taskd locking when an error occurs in some user action

When a user-initiated task-related action, such as changing the priority of a scheduled task, incurred an error, the return code was mischaracterized, leaving a lock in place. As a result, new tasks would not run.  This has been resolved.

User dropdown search field and results inconsistency

The user name filter drop down menu used the user name and user ID interchangeable, both in display and database query, leading to confusing results. The field permits users to enter user names and both the user name and user ID are displayed, but when the command is invoked, the value applied is the user ID.  This has been resolved.

User dropdown unnecessary server queries

When some non-visible characters, such as the left and right arrows, were entered into a user name field drop down panel, such as when filtering on the user name, the web page triggered an unnecessary call to search the database.  This has been resolved.

User dropdown disappearing default values

Some default items in the user name drop down menus are supposed to remain, even when the type-ahead string is applied, but they were filtered out.  This has been resolved.

User dropdown search field blocked out by dropdown panel

On the manual forward setup page, the user name field (when forwarding to a folder) could become obstructed by the popup menu.  This has been resolved.

User dropdown css error

When clicking out of a text entry field when configuring the default user in a web services device edit page, the stylesheet was cleared and when clicking back into the text field, the user’s custom color setting was not applied.  This has been resolved.

Report icons in the study details tab on the worklist page not working as expected

The report selection tools in the report view in the worklist’s patient folder were functioning incorrectly: the color scheme was hardcoded to dark theme; the report component icons failed to select the corresponding report component; and the delete button was highlighted instead of the report component icon. In addition to resolving these issues, a new button, Open All Reports, was added to load all the report components into a single view.

Mammo tools not working after upgrade

REVERSIBILITY NOTICE: To downgrade, the plugin license(s) must be regenerated.

The mammography, volume 3D and fusion plugins’ short names changed from the ones used in v7 so after upgrading, the plugin license was not recognized.  This has been resolved.

SQL Injection vulnerability in JSP pages

A couple webpages determined to be vulnerable to SQL injection threats have been secured.

Tasks are not collapsing sometimes

Multiple collapsed prepStudy tasks could exist in the task queue at the same time due to a racing condition when creating these tasks.  This has been resolved.

Post-collapsing should work for retry tasks

prepStudy tasks in the retry queue could not be terminated by the post-collapse cleanup function.  This has been resolved.

User Accounts page Last Seen filter is not working

A change to the filter construction was not applied to the user account page’s Last Seen, Sign in, and Sign out fields causing a format exception when attempting to filter on the field’s value.  This has been resolved.

Negated time of day filter not working as expected

A change to the time’s short format handler did not handle requests for negated search criteria.  This has been resolved.

Calculated fields tag list should be ordered alphabetically

The tag list available when configuring calculated fields was unsorted, making it difficult to locate a specific tag.  This has been resolved.

Tech View carousel miscalculates on non-square images

Images having an aspect ratio other than 1:1 caused the technology view page’s carousel to show partial images and the scrolling tools to fail. They also rendered the page’s thumbnail image size options useless.  This has been resolved.

Switching back and forth between the Server Configuration pages

When toggling between the Security Settings page and other server configuration pages, the security page contents may refresh and overwrite the other page’s data because an asynchronous call might have taken too long to complete.  This has been resolved.

Outbound Report notification missing fields when the report is saved at a child

In a dotcom where the master is the child server, a report edit could get processed on the child and propagated to the parent before the parent registered the original report. If a report notification event arrived at the parent before the report was registered, the event notification failed to trigger before all the fields were updated.  This has been resolved.

Add action buttons to in place upgraded V7 layouts

After correcting the importation of custom worklist layouts when upgrading from v7.2 to v8, the action buttons and lock indicator were dropped because v7.2 does not store them in the worklist configuration. By default, upgrades include the default v8 worklist action buttons.

Help button in the User's menu is not working if popups are blocked

The method used to open the help pages in a new window blocked pop-ups by default. The setting has been changed to allow the new tab to open without user acknowledgement.

Study "Changed" field not working as expected

The Study Changed field did not recognize saving report objects. As a result, the study fingerprint wasn’t updated and the change state remained untouched.  This has been resolved.

Device cannot be forced to save when a conflicting AE was found

When creating or modifying a DICOM device entry using a duplicate AE Title and the user decides to ignore the warning and save it anyway, the software failed to apply the change because the override flag was ignored.  This has been resolved.

Using conditional coloring on hidden fields causes error

If a saved worklist contains conditional coloring on a hidden column, an error occurs because the coloring tool cannot locate the column and the worklist appears as an empty list.  This has been resolved.

Password Must Be Changed At First Login active with LDAP authentication

A user account’s password settings could be applied after making temporary changes to the account’s LDAP settings, even when the account was configured to use an LDAP authentication agent.  This has been resolved.

Interpretation status values missing from report page

Report view templates using a field with the VR of SI, such as the Interpretation Status ID field, would log errors and display no data because support for the VR type was removed.  This has been resolved.

Q/R C-Move does not apply soft edit changes to images

When a DICOM AE requests a study using a DICOM Retrieve request, the forward tasks could fail to apply the soft edit changes causing the data to be sent without the latest updates.  This has been resolved.

Local MCS media creation error when adding studies from different hubs

When using the local MCS service from a worklist server to create DICOM media containing studies from two or more different hub servers, the temporary directory names created on the hub servers did not always match the directory names on the worklist server. If the names were not unique, the conflict resulted in missing files. Additionally, the MCS started constructing the DICOMDIR file after the transfer from the first hub server completed, without waiting for transfers from all hub servers to complete.  This has been resolved.

References did not get removed due to semaphore timeout

An insufficient lock timer caused studies to be left in a bad state when references were being deleted by the system.  This has been resolved.

Chromium 106 breaks drag/drop after browser upgrade

After upgrading Chromium (used by Chrome, Edge, Safari and other browsers) to Version 106.0.5249.103 or later, some of the browser’s drag and drop features such as applying a worklist filter from a column header or column value corrupted the web page contents resulting in a disorganized layout.  This has been resolved.

Worklist filters for name fields, study size and multi-value fields have been updated to support features available in earlier versions, including the ability to search on individual name components.  This has been resolved.

Users can delete their own .access list

Some operations could be copied from the browser’s network panel and invoked from another browser by a user with different permissions, allowing users to perform unpermitted operations. The missing permission check has been applied.  This has been resolved.

User’s forward targets can be ignored

Some operations could be copied from the browser’s network panel and invoked from another browser by a user with different permissions, allowing users to perform unpermitted operations. The missing permission check has been applied.  This has been resolved.

Users can forward or delete studies that aren’t on their access list

Some operations could be copied from the browser’s network panel and invoked from another browser by a user with different permissions, allowing users to perform unpermitted operations. The missing permission check has been applied.  This has been resolved.

Non admin users can see some system lists

Insufficient checking of a return code permitted some system lists (ie, owned by the @system account) to appear on a non-admins saved filter list.  This has been resolved.

Messaging recipient limits can be ignored

Some operations could be copied from the browser’s network panel and invoked from another browser by a user with different permissions, allowing users to perform unpermitted operations. The missing permission check has been applied.  This has been resolved.

Configured device timeouts did not get picked up properly

After upgrading the DICOM toolkit, the server’s connection timeout handling failed to recognize the configured timeout values and applied the default instead.  This has been resolved.

When trying to delete locked studies, the pre-delete page misses the lock icon

The delete confirmation page was missing the lock icon indicating which studies were locked and unable to be deleted.  This has been resolved.

Orders prevent opening studies via EPWS interface

When a hub server is backed up, the command to purge an order across the dotcom after correcting it to an image failed to propagate. As a result, the study could not be opened from the RIS because the search for the study returned multiple items (the study and the lingering orders).  This has been resolved.

Global restriction is ignored by viewer's previous/next buttons

The system ignored global restrictions when selecting the next/previous study. If the user does not have permission to view the study selected, he/she ends up with an invalid study error.  This has been resolved.

Extra exception thrown by CacheStateToolbox

When a registered viewer device issues a cache state request to the server and the server does not have an explicitly defined prior study cache state setting, the parsing algorithm misinterprets the parsing results and registers an unnecessary exception in the log file.  This has been resolved.

Page does not refresh after editing/creating DocType

Newly created document types failed to show up on the document type configuration page until after a browser page refresh.  This has been resolved.

Uncaught client exception from IE is obfuscated

Uncaught exceptions coming from Internet Explorer were not handled properly, resulting in a web page exception.  This has been resolved.

Study update messages may suppress Study acquisition messages

When a study update and study acquisition event occur within the same period, the study acquisition notification message could be suppressed due to the message reduction process. Now, study acquisition events are no longer collapsed with study update events.  This has been resolved.

Page loading problem in the RIS Tech Viewer

DEPENDENCY NOTICE: This fix loads the page but does not display images when using Internet Explorer to load the Tech View page from the RIS. A change in the RIS is required. The version containing that fix is undefined at this time. Use Edge or Chrome browsers instead. The RIS uses an IE control to embed the Tech View page into its web page that does not support the PACS page’s javascript. As a result, the web page did not load when using the IE browser. This fix allows the web page to load, but images still do not display because IE does not support the necessary technology needed to decompress cw3 data. This solution will be in the RIS (31775)

Viewer sessions not recognized

Viewer sessions were not recognized after restarting Apache, causing the cached data fields (eg, Percent Loaded) to report no data until the user logged out and back in.  This has been resolved.

Unable to break system lock from the worklist

A system lock failed to be released because of a missing constructor. The constructor has been added to avoid the stuck lock. Also, when a user attempted to break the system lock, which is not permitted, the user received no explanation of why the lock remained. Now the user is informed he has no permissions to break a system lock.

Query Qualifier doesn't properly handle PDOB quick filter

Searching a worklist using a date value in the quick filter field that would result in a query qualifier exception returned an error message and no data because the date filter was improperly encoded in the database search request.

Webviewer does not start if custom http port is used

Unable to forward from patient folder

Back-end support for forwarding studies from the patient folder was incomplete, resulting in no action when the button was clicked. This has been resolved.

Notify action error message

Identifying the email address offered as the default when configuring a Notify action failed for internally-defined accounts, such as the system account. In this case, the default comes up empty, requiring the user to explicitly declare the email recipient.  This has been resolved.

User with empty password cannot be edited

User accounts with empty passwords, which is not a valid state, could not be corrected because the missing password was not handled and caused an error when editing. This has been resolved.

Empty Retrieve AE Title prevents retrieve

When a DICOM query response contains no Retrieve AE Title or multiple Retrieve AE Title values, the server fails to retrieve any data. In the case of no AE Title, the server attempts to retrieve the data from the same AE that responded to the query request. When multiple AE Titles exist, the server attempts to retrieve the data from the first AE in the list having an entry in the Devices table configured as a Q/R provider.

Multi-page tiffs are not handled correctly during attachment upload

TIFF file uploads were not checked for multiple pages, resulting in uploading the first page only. This has been resolved.

Streamserver crashes

When configured to use the stream server for the web viewer image transfers, a mismanaged pointer was released after the first image in the study was transferred, causing subsequent image transfers to fail.  This has been resolved.

Slow report saving

Updating the study status when saving a report locked the PbR file unnecessarily, causing the report saving process to wait until a timeout expired before completing the operation. As a result, the entire report saving effort took five seconds longer than necessary.  This has been resolved.

Changes not applied during forward to 3rd party devices

Depending on the timing of PbR edits received from local and remote devices (eg, the RIS), it was possible that exports requiring soft edit merges could use a temporary instance of the PbR that did not contain the latest edits, causing some edits to be missing in forwarded objects.  This has been resolved.

MCS media creation leaks threads

When configured to use the local MCS, a worklist server was leaking tomcat and hermes threads when collecting progress information, causing the system to hit the process limit and stop creating new threads.  This has been resolved.

Filter database field length is not restricted on GUI

There was no limit to the worklist filter’s text box. Criteria exceeding the database field’s defined length were truncated, without warning, leading to unexpected results. Truncation also occurred when upgrading v7.2 filter definitions to v8. When detected, the import for the filter is aborted and an error is written to the log file and console.

User list dropdown type-ahead results missing

The type-ahead feature in the user profile field used when creating DICOM media failed to detect changes to the default value if the backspace key was not used, causing the system to ignore some matching IDs.

LogView slowness after 7.2 in-place upgrade to v8 - LONGER than 1 year filters

V7.2 servers upgraded to v8.0.22 or later and containing a large number of entries in the archive log database table would encounter slow archive log searches. For searches spanning one year or more from the current date, the views combining log archive tables are handled directly and not through the database because the database (MySQL) does not support the specified indices.

Uploading a report from the desktop viewer displays an error to the user

Creating a report for orders which were a) created on a worklist server which is not the topmost server in the dotcom and b) in the Completed state could not be saved for a number of reasons, including no support for checking locks on complete orders, ownership issues for orders not owned by the top-most server, and failure to lock a study with no images.

Upload attachment file type validator is case sensitive

Attachments whose filename used upper case letters in the file extension failed to upload because the file type validator is case sensitive.  This has been resolved.

User conversion failure during upgrade when fax action exists

Discontinued actions, including the fax action, were not ignored when converting the user database during an upgrade to v8. These actions are now ignored and log entries are created when detected.

Stream server crashes when opening new study while jit processing is still in progress

Stop searching for priors after downing a device with ARtv service enabled

The system failed to recognize an auto-retrieve device was configured offline (ie, “downed”), causing the patient folder and relevant priors page to load slowly as it checked for priors.  This has been resolved.

Series/Instance level DICOM QR C-Find requests fail on new installs

Series and image level DICOM query requests proxied from an objectless parent (CWL) server to the owner (hub) server failed because a recent change to the default object state setting caused the owner server to incorrectly ignore the request.  This has been resolved.

Study delete immediate with keep reports deletes the entire study

When deleting a study, the options to delete the entire study throughout the dotcom (i.e., delete  “immediate”) and to keep the report object are mutually exclusive. If the user selects one, the check box for the other is automatically disabled.  This has been resolved.

Open buttons enabled on WL for single and batch order operations

The worklist’s Open buttons on Worklist servers were enabled for unsupported (incomplete) order states. When unsupported orders are included in a group selection, the open tools are disabled.

Retrieve studies from parent to child does not work

When logged into a child server and retrieving a study from a remote archive connected to the parent, the data was retrieved from the archive but never transferred from the parent server to the child server.  This has been resolved.

v7 filters break the worklists after re-saving

Worklist filters converted during a v7.2 to v8.0 upgrade and containing at least one filter with a single, untagged criteria defined would get corrupted after being manually edited and saved from the (v8.0) worklist page. This fix applies to filters converted during an upgrade from v7.2 or v8.0.8 and earlier. This fix does not correct filters corrupted by this bug.

LogView slowness after 7.2 in-place upgrade to v8 - MAX 1 year filters

V7.2 servers upgraded to v8.0.22 or later and containing a large number of entries in the archive log database table would encounter slow archive log searches. The search performance is corrected for searches spanning less than one year from the current date. Searches for archive log entries older than one year will take some time to complete and place a load on the system.

Post-process action creates cw1 and raw files when running on late objects

When the post-process action processes late-arriving options, the system ignored the compression flag settings and created cw1 and raw files, and never cw3 files.  This has been resolved.

Error log messages appear when reviewing forward tasks on the Logs page

When updating the log after forwarding a study, a bad log table ID posted an unwarranted error message in the log file. The error was unwarranted because the system figures out the correct ID.  This has been resolved.

As a result, it failed to remove the objects when the action ran.  This has been resolved.

MCS server creates media with empty _report.pdf

When using a remote MCS server, if the user initiating the media creation job does not exist on the MCS server, an exception occurred and an empty report file was included on the media.

Deleting a device while it is disabled failed to remove the downed file. If a device was later created using the same name, the recollect function reported an error.  This has been resolved.

Web viewer settings are imported from 7.2 but not applied correctly in v8

Importing a user’s v7.2 web viewer settings stores the data correctly in the database but at startup, medsrv updates the configuration settings file from a conversion file, not the database. As a result, the web viewer does not use the imported settings.  This has been resolved.

File reference counts don’t match the study’s object count

If some objects are deleted from a study (from the Tech View page) and the last two are processed simultaneously, the release handler can be called twice but it doesn’t lock the resources, resulting in a calculation error in the reference counter.  This has been resolved.

Conditional formatting does not work when the condition is empty filter

Conditional row formatting on the worklist page failed if the matching criteria was set to an empty value because empty values were ignored and always returned a success status.  This has been resolved.

Edit study fails when PBAcquistionDateTime is empty

Very old objects could not be edited because they were missing a private DICOM attribute the system inserts in the object. Handling objects without this data is now supported and edits complete

successfully.

Support opening Completed orders in the viewer

When opening a completed order from an objectless worklist server, the viewer’s patient folder fails to load because completed orders don’t have owner devices, like imaged studies, and when the patient folder collection process looked for the owner device, none existed.

Some patient matching configurations can cause degraded performance/crash

When patient matching queries contain non-unique data, such as an empty patient name or accession number, the system places a hard limit on the number of matches returned. This limit is 500. It is configurable on the GUI, at Admin/Server Settings/System/Set matching criteria/Patient Matching Hard Limit. If this limit is exceeded when searching local studies, no search is performed to find remote studies. Also, the system assesses the query criteria and 1) if the query criteria match a list of configured filters and values, such as a NULL patient ID, either aborts the query or skips the filter. In these cases, a single match is returned and the user is notified partial results are displayed. Rules can be configured from Admin/Server Settings/System/Set matching criteria/Patient Matching Field Rules.

Studies cannot be merged if one is owned by the child and the other by the hub

Study merging is performed by the owner device. If studies in the merge request were owned by different child servers, the merge request failed. Now, the merge request will be performed by the hub server.

Trusting incoming connections to Apache Tomcat

Tool-tip words switch between upper and lower case when hovered over

The tool tips displayed on the patient folder used data from multiple sources which contained different values, resulting in different labels at different times.  This has been resolved.

A private SR object appears as a separate study in a DICOMDIR created by MCS

The private SR object containing the herpa (blue line) data which is stored on exported media showed up on the CD viewer’s study list as a separate study. This occurred when the MCS started to prepare the study for the media before the MINSOPInstance object was fully registered.  This has been resolved.

Media creation error does not go away after dismissal

Error messages displayed when setting up an MCS server were not cleared when dismissed by the admin because the data needed to clean up the error condition and clear the message was missing.  This has been resolved.

Stray commas in e-mail address display

Unnecessary separators have been removed from the email address field on the user account details page.

Retrieve Action error for order no longer on system

When a retrieve Action is performed on an order that no longer exists (canceled or corrected to a study), the state was marked to retry and the action was attempted again during the next cycle.  This has been resolved.

Error registering objects when batch registration is turned on

Collapsing registration tasks called a cleanup function that removed the task references for all objects in the collapsed task, even the ones that were not registered.

Opening reports from the worklist server’s patient folder disables the other tools

In a worklist/hub environment, displaying a report in the worklist’s patient folder disabled the buttons to display the web viewer, attachments and notes due to a cross site scripting error introduced to check that the report’s iframe wasn’t being edited.  This has been resolved.

Getting user information shouldn't need Admin or Support right

Using a web services call to both create a session ID and launch the viewer failed to launch the viewer if the user did not have admin privileges because a call to collect basic user information mistakenly required the right.  This has been resolved.

Media PACS device cannot be added to MCS server

Compound list handling when copying user accounts

When copying user settings from one user account to another, the saved lists making up a compound list referenced the source user’s saved list rather than the new user’s saved list, resulting in invalid compound lists.  This has been resolved.

Data remains empty at parent after propagating a study from a child

Attempts to update study details (eg, patient name, MRN from the PbR) while also updating details about the representative object (ie, the one used to baseline a study’s data in the database) could be done in the wrong order, leading to incorrect data stored in the database.  This has been resolved.

PrefetchServlet has synchronized lock

A prefetch service function was locked so a single client’s request could be completed without interruption, but if the locked request included a long query, other clients could time out, leaving large numbers of threads unavailable waiting for timeouts to free them.  This has been resolved.

DICOM acquisition slowed down

The latest version of DCMTK included a change enabling TCP’s nagle algorithm (used to improve efficiency by reducing the number of packets sent) which impeded DICOM transfer performance. The feature has been disabled.

Getrep.jsp error for out-of-access list prior studies

Server’s "Server Information" page does not display when attempted on a CWL server

Displaying the Server Information page from a worklist server took a long time to collect the study volume information when it hadn’t been collected recently and when large log files existed. The process now collects baseline information during an off-hour cron job and the web page uses this information rather than collecting it on-demand from the log files.  This has been resolved.

Patient matching issue using initial matching

The rename and delete options on the Other Lists page are disabled for group lists unless the user has the required admin rights.

Error message in browser debug log about a new message

Non-urgent broadcast messages did not record the last update time and therefore would not appear in the message panel or dashlet. Additionally, when the only messages in the queue were non-urgent broadcast messages, the missing timestamp caused inconsistent list details, resulting in a logged exception.  This has been resolved.

Procedure data not updated in orders after changing Scheduled Procedure Step ID

After creating and then editing an order via web services commands, some fields would not appear updated on the worklist because group order handling treated them as new orders (in the group) rather than modifications of the existing order. Edits that apply to an existing procedure step, based on the procedure step ID, are now treated as edits and not new orders in a group order.

Remote MCS media download fails

The media creation server (MCS) always used the primary IP address of the server when constructing the download URL. If the certificate does not include this IP address, an error occurs when attempting to download the media file. A configurable server address and redirection rules have been added to accommodate environments running under these conditions. See Media_Creation_Server

Corrupted web viewer document list

Maintaining a list of studies open in web viewers was not thread safe. Simultaneous requests to load studies in a web viewer corrupted the list, causing an exception to subsequent web viewer open requests and a 104 error page displayed in the browser window.  This has been resolved.

GUI login with non-existing userid should give generic error message

The error message displayed when attempting to log in with a non-existent user ID provided too much details about the login failure. The updated message is more generic and secure.

Purge matching objects Attachment Type issues

The object-matching settings for a Purge action did not list the configured attachment types, meaning users could not set up an action to purge select attachments. Additionally, the system failed to check the attachments type when matching attachments to the purge criteria.  This has been resolved.

Filter macro is not working

Filter macros using the format $$<COLID>$$ were not recognized, causing the filter criteria to return no results. The literal filter value defined appears in the filter criteria panel but the resolved macro value appears in the filter box at the top of the results.  This has been resolved.

Web pages saved as Favorites by users with access to them could be viewed by other users who do not have the necessary permissions. Now, if a restricted page is requested, the user’s default start page appears. Note that data restrictions, if applicable, were enforced correctly.

Saving system auto-unlock time takes a long time

Editing the system’s (user account) auto-unlock timeout setting attempted to update the value for each user account across all servers in a dotcom. The unlock time has changed so one value is applied to all user and group accounts regardless of the server from which the user logs on, allowing the system to propagate a single system setting instead.

User and Group input field lengths are not checked

Some user and group settings fields did not enforce value length limits, causing unintended truncation when saving. All input fields now enforce the field length limit.

Auto-correction fails due to taskd session timeout

Some system and prefetch sessions were checked for inactivity even though these sessions never time out. If a study matching an order arrived after the inactivity timer expired, the auto-correction failed to complete.  This has been resolved.

Auto-correction log entry missing space

The auto-correction log entry was missing a space, combining text and a study UID value.  This has been resolved.

Type-ahead input macro exception when no match exists

If the user edited the Radiologist field on the report panel and the value is empty or does not match a defined radiologist’s name, an unnecessary exception pops up when the user saves the report.  This has been resolved.

Server self-identifies as an MCS server in case of a license error

Login requests from web services calls or when reading location was specified failed to check the lock state of the user account.

Group actions ignored if the length of the group id is 20 characters

Actions assigned to groups whose ID was 20 characters were ignored because the last character was truncated from the identifier saved in the action database table, meaning it didn’t match any registered group when actions ran.  This has been resolved.

Spaces are not permitted in group IDs, but this was not enforced when creating new groups or when importing groups during upgrades. Existing group IDs containing spaces will be modified by replacing the space with an underscore.

HTML-encoded characters in plain text report

Some remaining web pages were not defined to use UTF-8 by default. In this specific case, flat report text containing accented characters was not handled correctly when sent via HL7.  This has been resolved.

After moving list management to the database, Action study lists were not sorted, which could result in processing a study multiple times and, less likely, missing a study completely.  This has been resolved.

Editing filters from Other Lists does not show all applied filters

Displaying a list’s properties from the Other Lists page had some formatting issues that truncated the filter’s details. This has been resolved.

Deleting folder leaves behind orphaned content

When deleting a folder, the system removed the container but failed to check for and remove study references assigned to the folder. If a folder is not empty when deleted, the user is prompted before the study reference is removed. This has been resolved.

Created media missing a study

When creating media with two or more studies that do not yet exist on the media creation server, the download of one might be delayed. For example, it might need to be retrieved from an archive, or it is still propagating up a dotcom from a child server. The system was not always waiting for all studies to arrive before building the media file.  This has been resolved.

Web services commands with a missing session ID do not prompt for credentials

If a web services API link could not complete, the response was hard coded to report an authorization failure. Now it prompts the user for credentials.

Redirecting to a WEB API link URL after login loses the redirect target

If prompted to enter user credentials after issuing a web services API link without a valid session ID, a failed first attempt lost the intended API target (page) and the user ended up on an unexpected web page.  This has been resolved.

Double quote is not escaped when using Patient Matching Criteria

If a field used in the patient matching criteria contained double quotes, the patient folder panel would not open because the system failed to escape the met character.  This has been resolved.

Factory, system, group, user configurations should not be copied automatically

UPGRADE NOTICE: This fix does not remove existing system default worklists. If a system default worklist was created as a result of this bug, it must be deleted manually.  The factory default worklist was incorrectly saved as the custom system-level default if no system default worklist existed.

Other lists cannot be deleted on latin2 collation sites

Servers configured with a database set up for latin-2, or any character set other than latin-1, mishandled some collation details, resulting in a failure to manage some saved worklists, including deleting them.  This has been resolved.

Action empty study file bug during Action DB conversation

When moving worklists and actions to the database (medsrv-8.0.21), empty action study lists were interpreted as a disabled action. As a result, after the upgrade, the action was disabled. Note that this fix does not restore actions disabled by the bug. These actions must be re-enabled manually.

Group lists are lost if the length of the group id is 20 characters

The database length of group list names failed to account for a character appended by the system software, causing errors when using a group list whose label was exactly 20 characters long. This has been resolved.

 Study id stays in the action study id list after it is removed from the WL

After moving saved worklists to the database, worklist actions failed to remove non-matching studies from the managed list of studies, causing the database table to grow large.  This has been resolved.

Long term query qualifier does not run

When saving a worklist filter, the query qualifier was not checked, allowing a user to save a poorly defined or unbounded query filter.  This has been resolved.

Attaching a non-image type to an order is not logged

The system failed to create a log entry when a non-image file (e.g., a document) was uploaded and attached to an order.  This has been resolved.

System lock could not prevent multiple execution of a single action

A change to system user names got around a check meant to prevent system users from breaking locks. As a result, some system-initiated commands, such as study split, study merge, report saving and ownership passing, could be invoked multiple times, duplicating data.  This has been resolved.

Requests to create DICOM media using the MCS service failed if issued from a worklist consolidation server (a parent to a collection of worklist servers) because the software only collected data from neighboring hub devices.  This has been resolved.

Worklist layout changes after Query Qualifier

If a saved worklist filter results in a query qualifier warning, the resulting list layout ignores the saved filter’s layout and applies the default layout.  This has been resolved.

Radiologists having accented characters in their names cannot create Final reports

The DICOM toolkit inherits character sets differently when editing and creating objects. When creating a new report object, the default (ASCII) character set was used, causing names such as the reading physician to ignore accented characters.  This has been resolved.

Server Build 17

Unable To Search for Prefetch Action

The Prefetch and Stop Sending Updates action icons could not be filtered on from the Other Lists page.  This has been resolved.

Deleted favorite worklist still available in dashlet

If the worklist filter configuration file was created as a favorite (starred) worklist, it would remain in the dashlet panel after it was purged from the system.  This has been resolved.

Session expired on report panel in web viewer

A change in the way browsers handle iframes loaded from a different server ignored the cookie presented and reported a non-existent or expired session. As a result, loading a report in the web viewer’s report panel displayed an expired session error message instead. This has been resolved.

HTTP 500 error when saving Server Settings / Scanning

When attempting to update the study data from the document scanning page, the system attempted to save some retired scanning settings, causing the request to fail.  This has been resolved.

Web viewer cross site scripting issues

Some browsers won’t pass along an access control parameter when redirecting web viewer open requests to a child server. As a result, the web viewer reported an error and would not load the data.  This has been resolved.

Other list action filter result is always empty

Attempts to filter the Other Lists table returned no matches because the filter mechanism overhaul completed for v8 had not been applied to the action data.  This has been resolved.

Double sends of outbound web service messages

Outbound web service messages were sent twice because the event handler was registered twice during startup.  This has been resolved.

Viewer's Patient folder always performed hard refreshes

When the viewer’s patient folder checked for study updates, the result was compared to the wrong data causing a refresh every time.  This has been resolved.

DeleteDicomMedia Web Service command does not delete the media

The web service command to delete DICOM media files after they have been downloaded failed to pass along the media session ID, causing the request to fail and the data to remain until the system purged it when the timeout expired.  This has been resolved.

Deadlocked tasks when using the Admin/Tasks schedule function

User-scheduled tasks (from the GUI) resulted in a deadlock condition when checking for new tasks from the unprocessed queue occurred before first checking if the system can start new tasks.  This has been resolved.

Server Build 16

Server setting features that require Support rights to edit are enabled for editing

Some DICOM server and study operation settings appeared editable, but weren’t, for admin users who didn’t have the required support rights.  This has been resolved.

Exporting list with sex throws an http 500 error

When exporting a worklist, the system expanded the DICOM enumerated value for sex and then attempted to localize that word to the applied language. The translation effort failed, causing the export error. The DICOM value for sex is included in the exported data without expansion or translation.

Saving Security settings shows error

When LDAP is not configured, the security settings page hid a field. When the user edited a security setting, the hidden field was checked and since it was empty, an error result was displayed, even though the edit was correctly applied.  This has been resolved.

Unreachable license server makes the server unusable

The frequency with which the server attempts to renew its license has changed to avoid creating a processing burden.

List Save popup list owner dropdown initialization to system default

Attempting to save a worklist layout did not offer the current user as an option in the list owner menu if the currently applied layout is a system-owned (default) layout.  This has been resolved.

Labeling issue on batch edit users page

The heading on the user account batch edit panel was incorrect. The panel was updated to display the list of all user accounts selected for the batch edit.

AE Fields editable without support right

The Storage AE and Archive Query AE fields on the settings page could be edited by Admins who didn’t have support rights.

Batch approving from a WL server broken

A change in the way browsers handle iframes loaded from a different server ignored the cookie presented and reported a non-existent or expired session. As a result, loading a report from a child server when batch approving on a worklist server failed.

Server Build 15

Login from web viewer broken

When launching the web viewer without an active user session, the user is prompted for credentials. While the login succeeded and returned a cookie with the necessary session ID, subsequent calls did not use it, causing them to do nothing or repeatedly prompt for credentials.  This has been resolved.

Number() calculated field macro returns wrong value when the input contains no numbers

If there is no number in the input string, the calculated field’s number() macro is supposed to return ‘0’. Instead, it returned the input string.  This has been resolved.

PDF to PS conversion loses report title

Updates to report printing necessary for supporting wkhtmltopdf failed to include the title value when converting from PDF to postscript.  This has been resolved.

Notification macro issues

Notification actions using the system’s built-in email template failed to generate email messages because two macros used by the template were removed in medsrv-8.0.10.  This has been resolved.

Web viewer cross site scripting issues

The Safari browser does not support wildcard values in the access control origin header. The wildcard value has been replaced with the referrer host value.

Web viewer image errors through HTTP download

Opening multiple studies in the web viewer when web sockets is unavailable, causing the web viewer to downgrade image download to use HTTP, texture blocks were resized when they shouldn’t be and data chunks could override each other causing missing data blocks.  This has been resolved.

Server Build 14

Document type settings not being applied

Some document type settings (default document type, modality and study date) were not applied to the scanning and upload user interfaces when the panel initialized.  This has been resolved.

Server Build 13

Plugin right changed logged incorrectly

Log entries showing a change in plugin rights failed to identify the original permission setting.  This has been resolved.

Scheduled Date empty date filter causes HTTP 500 error

Some empty date fields, including Scheduled Date, were not assigned the default date, causing a java exception and an empty worklist. Additionally, searching on an empty date value returns all records with no date value rather than all records, as was the case before.  This has been resolved.

Unable to send order notifications to Web Service devices

A change in the WSDL moved the location of a file that was needed when sending orders and reports to web services devices.  This has been resolved.

Filters saved in version 8.0.8 were not managed correctly in version 8.0.12

The filter type value in saved worklist filters was dropped when upgrading m8.0.8 systems, causing worklist filters to ignore the filter. This fix does not correct saved filters that have already been converted during an upgrade.  This has been resolved.

Server Build 12

List of speech recognition tools cannot be parsed properly by the viewer

A parsing error prevented the viewer from displaying the customized list of available speech recognition options if more than one option was included in the configuration file.  This has been resolved.

Filtering name with apostrophe in lastname causes SQL error

Patient name and other field queries containing an apostrophe (') in the search criteria returned zero matches regardless of the data. This has been resolved.

The query qualification check was not activated when loading a saved worklist.  This has been resolved.

Time part of Study Date in Log is truncated

The study date value stored in the database's log table and displayed on the log page did not include the time component.  This has been resolved.

Server Build 11

No error message displayed when adding/editing a device fails

Unsuccessful requests to add or edit a device did not always notify the user the operation failed.  This has been resolved.

Scan/Upload attachments discrepancy

Image-type attachments uploaded to an order from a worklist server are supposed to be stored on the hub server. It also changes the order to a study. All other attachment types are supposed to be stored on the worklist server. (They move to the hub server when the image objects arrive.) These attachments were mistakenly stored on a hub server causing a broken study if the images arrived at a different hub server.  This has been resolved.

Multilevel authentication skips password change

If a web services client creates a new user account set to change the password upon first login, the user was not required to change his/her password.  This has been resolved.

Errors generated when the same object is resent

When the same objects is resent multiple times and the queues are not empty, taskd might start multiple registration tasks for the same object at the same time. The object was successfully registered but errors were logged and one of the tasks might end up on the retry queue without the ability to complete when rescheduled.

Lock issues during merge

After adding outbound notifications when modifying a study's instance UID (eg, after splitting or merging studies), error handling changed and releasing the lock upon error was unintentionally dropped.  This has been resolved.

Convert rotated ellipse and freehand annotations to PS

When exporting annotations saved as a presentation state, the server converts the internal representation of the data to DICOM Presentation State objects. Support for rotated ellipses and freehand ROI graphics was not included and these graphics would not be exported.  This has been resolved.

Server Build 10

Adding a new report segment in the template editor results in a crash

Inserting a segment into a report template from the template editor resulted in a java crash.  This has been resolved.

Viewer patient folder unable to accept custom template

This bug prevented admins from customizing the viewer's patient folder template.  This has been resolved.

System unable to support more than 32k users

File system limitations prevented the system from having more than 32K user accounts.  This has been resolved.

Series/Instance level C-Move fails when issued to a CWL having an object table

When a series- or instance-level C-Move request was issued to a non-objectless consolidation (CWL) server, the resulting database query was invalid and failed.  This has been resolved.

GetStudyInfo Web Service command returns incorrect Series and Image Number

Web services calls to retrieve study information returned incorrect image and series counts if the number was greater than 15.  This has been resolved.

Device Q/R filter Bugs

The tool to assign filter criteria to a Q/R device was missing some features: warning about the effects of the filter; access to all database fields; and logging edits to a filter. Some presentation inconsistencies were also corrected.

Server does not notify viewer when spatial registration objects arrive

When a spatial registration object is registered for a study currently open in an active viewer session, the server notifies the viewer so it can retrieve the new object.

IE bug canned report workaround

Internet Explorer issues an incorrect event when dragging a scroll bar in a dropdown box (in this case, the canned report selection list), causing the dropdown list to close before selecting an item.  This has been resolved.

Scheduled Procedure Step ID does not register to database

Scheduled Procedure Step ID values defined in an order creation message failed to show up in the database (and worklist).  This has been resolved.

Study edit not picking up DICOM-only fields

The study edit page failed to list values for fields in the DICOM object but not stored in the database.   This has been resolved.

Forwarding screen takes a long time to load

The study forward page would take a long time to load when the system contained many (tens of thousands) user accounts. This has been resolved.

Edit report page takes a long time to load

The edit report page, launched from the patient folder, would take a long time to load when the system contained many (tens of thousands) user accounts.  This has been resolved.

Approval pages takes a long time to display

The report approval page would take a long time to load when the system contained many (tens of thousands) user accounts. This has been resolved.

Missing user list on Message dashlet

The Message dashlet's recipient list and the dashlet's configuration page would take a long time to load when the system contained many (tens of thousands) user accounts. This has been resolved.

Priors that exist on child do not retrieve to parent

Auto-retrieving priors from the archive to the hub server failed if the study was registered on a child server.   This has been resolved.

Study unlock should work even with a timed out session

Locked studies would not unlock after the lock period expired if the user's session had timed out first. This has been resolved.

Multi-Level Authentication warning stays on

New user accounts using IDs of deleted user accounts would be notified of multi-level authentication requirements even when the feature was disabled.  This has been resolved.

White screen when doing an approval

Displaying the report approval web page was very slow on systems with a large number of user accounts due to an inefficient database query. This has been resolved.

Approved state in report status input depends on the wrong user right

The option to set a report to Final was unavailable if the user had permission (the Approve right) to approve a report. This has been resolved.

Actions should apply to late objects

Objects that arrive at a server after the post process or compress data actions have been applied to the study are automatically processed.

Retrieve and forward from the archive page does not work

If an archive was an independent eRAD PACS system, the retrieve and forward tools on the Archive page failed because the archive expected a user session ID from it's own dotcom. This has been resolved.

CreateDicomMedia operation ignores requested compression

Web services requests to create DICOM media performed an invalid check of the requested compression and media type parameters, thereby ignoring the requested settings and always uncompressing the data. This has been resolved.

ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException on report page

Displaying a report of external origin using a template that does not contain an areagroup for handling external reports resulted in a crash. This has been resolved.

SC and PSg objects created by the viewer are saving on CWL

Secondary capture and presentation state objects sent to the worklist server after being created in a viewer session were propagated to their owner device but remained on the worklist server. This has been resolved.

Leave State Changed unchanged when the viewer saves PS or SC objects

When the viewer sends new objects to the server when it also sends a report, the study's State Changed value was updated to indicate the study changed. This has been resolved.

Patient folder rendering issues

The viewer's patient folder study list was misaligned due to a position calculation error when collecting the data, and neglecting to account for the separator spaces in the connector bar. This has been resolved.

Patient folder background refresh causes unwanted switching

If the patient folder is configured to automatically load data into the view area, and the area is already populated when the patient folder is opened, the background refresh changes the data already displayed in the view area. This has been resolved.

Studies fallen off the list should not be updated

Studies that are no longer included in the filtered worklist were checked for updates when the page refreshed, causing excessive log entries because no lock state existed.

User Rights are cut off in IE 11

When using Internet Explorer 11, the Rights section of the user account edit page extended outside the boundaries of the browser window, with no scroll bar to reposition the options.   This has been resolved.

Uploading attachments to an order on a CWL

Uploading a non-image attachment to an order from a worklist server didn't push the data to the selected hub server. As a result, the data was not visible on the Tech View page or in the patient folder.

Web service default user is invalid system user

Web services commands issued to a server and forwarded to an owner device for execution failed the session validation if the web service user was not the registered default user for the device issuing the call. This has been resolved.

Order corrected notification messages sometimes do not get sent

Correction messages that propagate up a dotcom to the server that is configured to send a notice to a web services client (eg, to a RIS) before the image objects arrive and get registered will fail, but the task did not get added to the retry queue. As a result, the client never received the correction notification. This has been resolved.

Priors not included in viewer device FWD actions

Workstation prefetch requests resulting from a Forward Action didn't include the instruction to expand the list and therefore failed to include relevant prior studies. This has been resolved.

Break the glass feature broken

A recent change to handling date and time filters affected the birth date field, causing the exact match needed to grant access to restricted studies to fail.  This has been resolved.

Displaying an attachment results in an java crash

When opening a PDF attachment from the Technologist View page in a multilevel dotcom, a java dump appeared on the screen because the redirection failed to include the session ID.  This has been resolved.

Web Viewer doesn't open the study when applying annotations from presentation states

When a presentation state object specified an annotation on an image that was not present in the data set, the web viewer would fail to load the study or report an error.   This has been resolved.

Define media download export timeout in hours, not days

The units for the media export download timeout setting (on the Server Settings/Study Operation page) have changed from days to hours. Existing settings are automatically adjusted.
