New Features and Enhancements

Primary Study Group Identification/Handling

Note: This function only applies to viewers used with version 8.0 or 7.3 servers.

Studies in a viewer session matching the Primary study's patient identifier(s) and the Study Date are tagged as a "current" study.  “Current” studies will have the same thumbnail coloring and primary status overlay data.  Study groups are identified with “C1, C2” Image Frame Information

Default Hot Keys for Configuration Panels

Configuration panels now have default keyboard macros that cannot be deleted. Configuration_Panel_Shortcuts

Log File Management

A settings page has been added to the viewer options to define retention periods for viewer crash logs, session logs, net logs and WMI logs. The settings exist under Option/Advanced Settings. Logging

Resolved Issues

Allow Only Base Macros in Plugin Frames

To avoid conflicts with plugin keyboard shortcuts, custom keyboard macros defined by a user and placed in the Plugin section (Tools/Macros/Shortcuts/Plugins) apply when the active frame is a plugin frame. If no custom shortcut exists, the plugin's default macro for the key is applied. When the active frame is not a plugin frame, the main viewer's keyboard macro (from the Base section) is applied.

Incorrect Active Tab in Spine Label Tool

After resetting the current spine label selections from the spine label control panel, the panel displays the vertebral bodies tab by default. This has been resolved.

Impractical Saving of Hanging Protocol Links

Manually defined link settings are applied by hanging protocols (HPs) only when the series are spatially registered. Otherwise, the link settings are ignored. Additionally, auto-linking is applied after the HP is loaded and only if it defined no link settings.

Viewer Tooltips Unavailable

A recent change to correct the handling of right-click context menus caused the viewer to disable tooltips after closing the context menu. Tooltips have been restored.

Update Hologic Verified CAD Manufacturer Information

The system recognizes CAD SR objects with a Manufacturer value of "HOLOGIC" the same as those with a value "R2".

Magic X Reference Icons Not Displaying

Reactivating the Magic X feature failed to display the cursor in the cross-referenced images unless the user moved the mouse.  This has been resolved.

Magic X on Unregistered Series

After enhancing the auto-link tool to apply to series in all views, an improperly initialized parameter resulted in cross-referencing series that do not share the same physical space, displaying the Magic X icon in the wrong position on some images. This has been resolved.

Viewer Crash: Creating Key Image when Annotation Tool Active

If a custom keyboard command that creates a key image is invoked while an annotation is selected (ie, in edit mode), the viewer could crash.  This has been resolved.
