1. ID 50601: Word (rt7 template) reporting added.

2. ID 50602: Ris components now work as far as booking a patient is concerned (still needs edit facility).

What's new in Dicom Explorer v5.0.5 (Released 31th July 2007)

1. ID 50501: The Maximum allowed Year method in NcaseUI used to be this year + 1. The years ahead (1) is now a property "Max.yearAhead" that has a default value of 1.

The dicom editor failed on a DOB of Dec 2069 that came form a modality. It would not renormalize because the year was to far ahead.

2. ID 50502: PURIS Client when checking patient ID consistency did not allow for a NULL patient address and phone number in the Db.

3. ID 50503: Study Root in DICOM List Model was static this prevented DICOM In Box and Out Box form having different roots.

4. ID 50504: Full Screen object did not override dispose () and was a potential memory leak.

5. ID 50505: Drag and drop images between Full Screen objects and on to empty screens.

6. ID 50506: New Xref Icons added to gifs.jar.

7. ID 50507: When selecting Xref you can now choose whether it displays all lines, those for the servers or just the current images.

8. ID 50508: Prevent TV crashing in window level change if it does not have a local colour bar after dragging to a different Full Screen display.

9. ID 50509: You could not Xreference over a single scout view.

10. ID 50510: Full Screen controls now follow drag mode set using the TV menu.

11. ID 50511: Added Support for additional worklist info stored in an ADAC pe----sys reader. Principally to extract the full patient name. The adac main header can potentially truncate names and Id's. This also extracts the accession number if available.

12. ID 50512: Query Results Step method open collapsed nodes did not check node tyre and allowed a clan cast exception to be thrown - this was caught and ignored.

13. ID 50513: Improve exception reporting in study selector selection changed method for the call backs to any interpose listener or general selection listener.

14. ID 50514: Only warn about mouse wheel support form Java 1.4 once - controlled by a static variable in TV Set.

15. ID 50515: Modality Options make example series used JPcg Dater File - now only if JVM is at least 1.4

16. ID 50516: Don't test whether patient query results can be displayed in the current front if the JVM is <1.5 it does not work and takes a very long time.

17. ID 50517: Use of Volatile Image in Image Data 2D was not supported in Java 1.3

18. ID 50518: No support for Template reports in Java 1.3

19. ID 50519: Jpeg Data File can now only be used from Java 1.4 onwards - it specifically uses the Javax image 110 methods for wavelet compression.

20. ID 50520: DICOM Explorer basic functionality now works in Java 1.3 again.

What's new in Dicom Explorer v5.0.4 (Released 26th July 2007)

1. ID 50401: The change in 5.0.2 to cope with non parallel axial MR slices indexed the patient image orientation eg. TVpane then did not find the individual orientation labels.

2. ID 50402: TVContainer now gives (by default) any MR Services its own colour bar for separate windowing. This can be changed back with splash.windowAll.MR = false.

3. ID 50403: Windowing now works on all selected TV's like Zoom and Pan.

4. ID 50404: Cross referencing ability is now built into the standard TV Hierarchy.

5. ID 50405: DICOM Mirror did not use ncase.Util.StringUtilI it c---- still using the deprecated pop.string utilities.

6. ID 50406: PJRIS Client when handling an ORV or ORM was attempting to look up the modalities associated with the service identifier. This was incorrect and could lead to problems with concurrent ac----- to the Db for service codes that are associated with all modalities eg site codes for visiting mobiles with different modality.

7. ID 50407: The find study VID method in DICOM List Model crashed if the study ID was null in the original search parameters (only effected Orthoview who remove some search params).

8. ID 50408: TV Window when doing the layout of the scroll bar and colour bar did not leave room for the 'selected' highlight box around the VT. This looked bad when scrolling next to the highlight which got overwritten by the scroll bar.

What's new in Dicom Explorer v5.0.3 (Released 16th July 2007)

1. ID 50301: Patient Tree Lister interface now includes a more function - tis is a server direction rather than the local client copy selection.

2. ID 50302: Query Result Step now often a more option to use a server side move to a destination other than the client ini---- the more (not query/retrieve).

3. ID 50303: DICOM Archive Service did not specifically check for a null study VID in a C-More.

4. ID 50304: Query Results Step now will only auto expand nodes when they have finished listing.

5. ID 50305: Our DICOM Server now supports a C-More request at services level without a study VID (only a series VID) - as long as the db is running. Likewise with just a SOP VID.

6. ID 50306: We did not propose any SR abstract syn tax on a general store association.

7. ID 50307: Better Error reporting back to the client when a more request fails because the server cannot connect to the move destination.

8. ID 50308: New server side option for when checking a user has admin rights. DICOM User [name].pw = * for when uses are already validated and the server just needs to check whether the user has admin rights.

9. ID 50309: DICOM Cache Service - find study path used by DICOM File Editor should have returned multiple paths if the study had been added to form more than 1 source. It also did not close an opened SQL connection which would now resulted in consuming more resources. Thin left Iod's unedited.

10. ID 50310: DICOM Cache Service update services DB method that uses the conflict management methods did not check for an empty series date and/or series tiem.

11. ID 50311: DICOM File flush () method could p9tentually leave bytes from previous versions at the end of the file.. It now creates a backup ~ copy if possible. This could be delete after the successful flush - it currently is not.

12. ID 50312: Re serializing a DICOM File would add back in the original group lengths - this could be wrong after a edit.

13. ID 50313: Remove a Print Stack Trace in DICOM Stream.

14. ID 50314: DICOM Study List returns null on get Expansion Instance if the max query level is <=2.

15. ID 50315: Using C-Get from the client at series or study level would always try and list contents to determine how many images coming form the progress tool. This no longer happens if the mnX query Level is < 4.

16. ID 50316: When a DICOM Cache conflict results in new VID's then the conflict analysis is dumped to the log.

What's new in Dicom Explorer v5.0.2 (Released 24th June 2007)

1. ID 50201: Tags 8,56 (Instance Availability) and 10,21 (the Patient ID Issuer) where not in the Dictionary - both used by Centricity 3.

2. ID 50202: The automatic prefixing of the HL7 filler number with "Xn -" where n is the set ID is now off by default.

3. ID 50203: PJRIS Client now correctly labels a "CM" completed order message in the Event table.

4. ID 50204: HL7 mapping to DICOM Tag facility

eg H17 to DICOM [OXOO10] [OXOO20] [AC] = ORC.2

A specific context can be used for 1a mapping eg in ORM messages or ADTs or ORUS

eg h17 to DICOM [OXOOO8] [OXOO20] [XIRIS_MCRY].ORM = OBR.6

Note the underscore in the AE --- (this is displayed as + in the event table etc).

5. ID 50205: DICOM Editor considered the name changed if db name in lowercase - could not edit study level attributes in this situation.

6. ID 50206: Study Selector now supports IG removal of externally defined data sources.

7. ID 50207: DICOM Cache Service when checking Study ID for study level DB conflicts translated any study ID more than 16 chars before doing the comparison. If the truncated string ended with a space the comparison failed now trimmed. Note study ID's > 16 chars are illegal anyway they are large SH.

8. ID 50208: PJRIS Client was very strict on more matching for a report in a ORU message. Can now be different case names.

9. ID 50209: DICOM Box when setting an application specific storage root did not set the storage root on the default query.

10. ID 50210: Internal Fix to TV Container - some places sis not sue get TV Set they used (TVSet)get TV Component.

11. ID 50211: Full screen services mode did not correctly 'wheel' the series.

12. ID 50212: Change to combine services method in splash page that limites splitting based on orientation of slices to series of less than 5 images (should only be scouts). New MRI Scanner seems to do some sort of tracking resulting in non-parallel slices.

13. ID 50213: Mailager used Pop 3 string splitter - new dt.jar.

14. ID 50214: When DICOM structured reports where created from ORU messages and pushed into the DICOMdb.

1) It used AE titles form the message - this resulted in a different folder than any study from the modality

- this then failed to do preliminary file consistency checking

- It would also fail on the forwarding rules for the study.

2) It did not read study ID and description as provided by the modality. As this information is not in the HL7 message it resulted in a study conflict. This was not auto corrected by the new conflict management layer because of (1) above.

3) Name marking on an ORU conversion was too strict - now uses the same method as the DICOM Cache Service.

- Still to do

1) Cold use AC names form the message to keep the data separate and subject to different rules.

2) Could use completely different AE names for all reports

15. ID 50215: Splash Page did not allow the combining of non short [ ] data into a series - now supports RGB, byte, and int images - needed for GE US dynamic line sequence.

16. ID 50216: New class that keeps track of slice ordering preferences that includes a new ordering method based on the image time [ Order Preference in Util]. Needed for GE US that contains no frame number.

17. ID 50217: The default Show Protocol did not pre-sort and order images ( and combine into a service) the provided data files - now uses a new class Data File Sorter that was extracted from splash page. Protocols and splash pages now have data sorted in a common way.

18. ID 50218: PJRIS Client when pursing or order message now looks for an optional 3rd component on OBR.24 which is a target description - in the case of Mercury and XIRIS it's a site address for a mobile. This is written to the enlist table.

What's new in Dicom Explorer v5.0.1 (Released 14th February 2007)

1. ID 50101: New worklist properties that allow for general and specific AE titles whether the AE title must match the worklist entry AE title. ie does a modality get all "NM" procedures or only those intended for that specific station.

dmwl.client [AEtile ].match AE

If this is five (default = true) and the worklist query does not specify the target AE of the worklist it uses the actual AE or the modality that is doing file worklist query.

2. ID 50102: As above but using the station name rather than the AE - this default to false

dmwl.client I[AEtile]I.match station.

3. ID 50103: PJRIS Exam List now supports a query using the scheduled state AE parameter.

4. ID 50104: Fix for non terminated sequences in Message Item - it used to take the remainder of the buffer, it now analyzes what comes next and tries to find the end of the intended sequence.

For GE MPR gamma currents tag 54,62 the gated info sequence.

5. ID 50105: DICOM Box and DICOM Service comms used the public STORGAE_MEDIA_FILE_SET_ID 88,130 to communicate SOP's arriving in a remote Box. This tag is used by Siemens PACS for offline storage. We have switched to a private tag 89,130.

6. ID 50106: PJRIS Client when it expect to get the accession from the ORC did not finally check OBR02 (the placer number) if all other places blank.

10. ID 50120: When an image hits the server and the name is different but acceptable it was "accommodating" names in the other parent names field. - This was making the value too long.

11. ID 50111: Other Patient Names added to the editable DICOM fields for GUI based editor.

12. ID 50112: New Services property for DICOM Queries ONLY Query.maxlEVEL = 2 or 3, 2 means list stud��only do not expand - this generation a display event on double click rather than expanding and no display event. 3 means don't expand service.

13. ID 50113: PatientTree.autoExpand is now by default false. This used to apply only to Maps upper level queries. It is now also applied to DICOM Study Level if DICOM Explorer is launched to view a specific study using the accession number as an org. (and there is only 1 result).

14. ID 50114: It now has new command line orgs for launching DICOM Explorer as an application from other software.

- this had a strange effect on dates going into the database like 4,40323 (should have been 1944) - this stored c dates of 3 Aug 1926! The editor found a patient id mismatch because of the date conversion error and refused to edit.

4. ID 49804: Added "save CSV" option to query Results.

5. ID 49805: Added some mining tags to the DICOM Dict

9. ID 49309: Allow for a served mail data source to have a user name format as Pop3.//*@Ibh.pacspost.net:pw/Ibh.pacspost.nets. This will automatically append the domain when logging in through pop. The user just logs in with their user name and the domain is added for them.

10. ID 49310: Prevent password being stored in the local props file for ‘non editable’ served e-mail sources – always relies on the log in credentials.

2. ID 49311: Study selector could try and get the number of visible series from the protocol manager before it displayed any splashes – caused a null pointer exception.

3. ID 49312: Dicom services list would simply return on to query if the connection was busy – it now throws an exception. Query Busy Exception.

19. ID 49328: New CD burn menu option over items in the query results.

20. ID 49329: Message item conversion of a sequence to explicit VR failed if there was a sub-sequence in the sequence. This would have only effected “save Dicom” options over an image with explicit set. Disconnected because Dicom Dir CD’s are written with explicit coding.

21. ID 49330: Dicom Dict has tag 18,1020 software versions as a short string – should be a long string with UM of 1-N.

22. ID 49331: Performed step id (40,253: and scheduled step id (40,9: should have been type SH not CS in Dicom Dict.

23. ID 49332: Performed step start data and time where in the wrong location in Dicom Dict.

24. ID 49333: Query step when checking whether the query filter had been modified did not take into account the change made to get filter that only returns filter params with value. If now checks whether filter list.

25. ID 49334: Query step was using add parameters instead of set parameters – this did not overwrite filter options that had been removed (see 33):.

26. ID 49335: Get data files at study level on a Dicom Dir CD did not work (never tested by the look of it). This would have effected copy and paste, drag and drop at study level from a Dicom Dir.

27. ID 49336: Dicom forwarder would delete a solitary db file immediately – now must be at least 20 seconds old.

28. ID 49337: New top level applet param CD Burning allowed this cannot be overturned by local props. + new method on query results step set CD burn allowed. + this method also added to the study selector. - New dt.jar required for applet param usage.

1. ID 49201: Fill implementation of all study matching rules for protocols including “contains at” index – see Protocol Wizard.

2. ID 49202: Dicom List Model C-get an entire study – attempted to list to find out how many files will be coming . This then did a find at image level with no services VID. - a C-get of an entire study only happens if a protocol is automatically run. Process now does multiple queries if study level get.

3. ID 49203: Removed all direct access to the parameters hash table in basic list model – all query models now use get parameter is now private – was protected.

4. ID 49204: If gifs.jar was missing the entry renders crashed for the patient tree a change made in 4.9.2 for the thumbrail wizard [No customer got the release – found by orthoview when testing].

5. ID 49205: Protocols showing ext4ra items – tab icon was wrong when extra items page contained data.

2. ID 49102: Additional auto wild card patient name scheme WILDCARD-SURNAME-END-AND-CARAT = 4 – this is the GE centricity wild card formal – no leading * as this automatically fails. Smith fred => Smith * ? * fred * Smith => Smith *

3. ID 49103: Scheduled study location 32,1020 not in dict also 40,1400 requested procedure comments + 300c, 22 referenced fraction group number.

4. ID 49104: Image data imposed a clipping rect when drawing the image – this change was added to fix mono 1 image display overwriting a correctly coloured background. It did not ----- the graphics clipping rect – this stopped individual frame colour base being displayed properly. – Buy introduced 4.8.2 11/05 see 4.8.2 (9:.

5. ID 49105: Remove image 25 from icons jar – it had been added on a catch all Dicom study show protocol – full set of protocols are now supported for Dicom local data base queries.

6. ID 49106: For just the local data base sorting on a non default ordered field by double clicking on the field header did not sort correctly. The local data base is an ordered list of Dicom study lists for different ae combinations. The field defs are common – there was an overridden get fields method that got the field defs from the first Dicom study root list – this was wrong, method removed.

7. ID 49107: Maps list model used the disk name as its AE title for drag/drop options – this could have been ‘*’ wild carded for multiple MAPS disks. If this is the case a generic “MAPA” aet is returned.

8. ID 49108: Dicom cache service did not escape the patient id at study level SQI insert – the ‘Pat Parent’ field. Patient IOS sometimes contain ! eg GUY’s or O’reilly if the name has been used on an id.

13. ID 49113: The “Properties” menu option over the query results page is temporarily disabled until function ability is completed.

14. ID 49114: Protocol manager crashed if constructed with a null protocol.

15. ID 49115: Splash page now allows external control of the menu over a TV. This was previously only used be the Triangulation Set. Now used by the Protocol Wizard to provide a menu for where images should be moved to (monitor and page).

16. ID 49116: Removing the data in a TV object did not remove any anociated TV Pane overlay objects.

17. ID 49117: New until clan empty data file that extends data file but can be used as a place holder.

18. ID 49118: The Dicom file constructed using an awt image tried to pixel grab the data as int [ ] and place in the data file “data” object. Not required and in fact threw an exception if image data was not RGB and grabable as int [ ].

19. ID 49119: The get image method of thumbrail returned null if the thumbrail was created with an icon.

20. ID 49120: Dicom file when re-encoding image data only checked for buffered image types in the image array. It should have just checked for image.

21. ID 49121: Dicom dict when detecting a string value fro an unknown object tyre now allows CR, NL and IT in the byte array.

28. ID 49128: File analyzer dialogue did not call get translation.

29. ID 49129: Transfer manage did not call get translation.

30. ID 49130: Bug in message item when writing a part 10 file it would update group lengths to end - [group ] [OXOOO1] if it found any try from an even group and element 1 of that group unfortunately group 2 element 1 is the META- VERSION and not group length to end.

31. ID 49131: Colour scale factory add Voi Lot method mow looks foa a ‘first’ value in the description [1] that possibly should have been signed (if val > 32767 ). It sends a warning to convert to a signed short.

32. ID 49132: First release of new Protocol Wizard new properties desktop.editprotocols = true/false default in time.

What's new in Dicom Explorer v4.9.0 (Released 2nd March 2006)

1. ID 49001: Dicom Ager now works correctly with SQL based storage systems. Previously disabled.

2. ID 49002: Dicom fiel now preserves the IOD if the constructs say preserve it even if clements are added or removed. Previous versions only honoured this switch if they were not changed.

3. ID 49003: The Dicom server – check option was slower than it should have been – it read files twice and unnecessarily re-serialized the IOD. This option now also includes a third phase that clears out empty folders.

4. ID 49004: Dicom file when reading any object looked at the Hi bit value and attempts to preserve 8 bit data if it is re-written. ACR/Nema data is treated as Dicom but returns a value of ø for the list bit! This chopped a byte from old siemens icon data if the image was re-written.

5. ID 49005: When detecting Big Endian ACR/Nema data – short images should have been byte reversed.

6. ID 49006: Dicom dict now shows more information when displaying unknown tag values.

7. ID 49007: Dicom importer now has a preserve flag read from the proper 5 “Dicom importer.preserveIOD” – default in true prevents recalculation subject to current rules on what the IOD should be. Mirror used this mechanism – we expect mirrored filed to be identical.

8. ID 49008: Most instances of number format now use the system locale (). Without this could cause a ‘,’ to appear instead of a decimal place in many European locales for data such as slice thickness or pixel size when written into a Dicom file. Displayed number use of the number format eg angle overlay tools using the default locale()

What's new in Dicom Explorer v4.8.9 (Released 16th February 2006)

1. ID 48901: Dicom importer when saving a Dicom file excluded the “forward and mirror” options when saving. This is now optionally selected with Dicomsan.import [n].mirror. Default is false.

2. ID 48902: You can now specify the AET’s to use when importing files into the server (Dicom importer) leave blank for original defaults – always leave blank for the mirror to preserve the original AET’s.

3. ID 48903: Dicom importa did not import adac files over ftp.

4. ID 48904: Data source Ed.tur forced params in the services tag to lower case. This changed the move AE raise. RADWORKS (RA600) appear to be case sensitive on AE names+ so are we on a unix box when using a local file 1/10 database.

5. ID 48905: Adac Transfer Dialogue now forces ftp to work in ACTIVE mode rather than PASV in case we are talking to one of our servers with the firewall on and only port 21 open for ftp (no PASV ports).

6. ID 48906: Dicom importer when using ftp for interfile now loads the data part of an interfile into local cache first. If it does not the hdr will be triggered a conversion before the data present. More importantly in single pan through an import folder nothing retriggers the conversion of the hdr if I came first. Only a second pan through the archive would result in a conversion.

7. ID 48907: Dicom Ager service is now started by the main Dicom server clan. It strays enabled if Dicom cache allow auto delete in true. New Ot.jar required.

8. ID 48908: For some reason the query list model in proxy was only ever set in query step and not query factory. (Problem for Orthaview only).

9. ID 48909: The Dicom service commit property was not being set when server props flushed.

10. ID 48910: The Dicom proxy service when forwarding a store operation (or anything for that matter) did not break the message into max pdu chunks.

11. ID 48911: Trap, in the Dicom rescale slope definitions – this has been in an agfa CR. Clearly somehow picking up the locale ( ) (somewhere outside the UK – but Europe) where decimal settings use, not.

12. ID 48912: Data source – char set, store URL and wild card scheme were not supported as applet params requires new dt.jar.

13. ID 48913: RT Dose series images now treated as sub type IT-axial – this allows the MPR option to be used – change to Dicom file.

14. ID 48914: Dicom RDCS did not include installation name in the list of tags transferred from the first image into a study to the secondary capture referral documents.

What's new in Dicom Explorer v4.8.8 (Released 15th February 2006)

ID 48801: Added two retired tags from ACR Nema to the Dicom dict. Radionuclide (18,30: to insurance plan id (10,1050).

ID 48802: Removed Ncase UI warning about bad years – too prolific and filling the log when dealing with large interfiles imports.

What's new in Dicom Explorer v4.8.7 (Released 27th January 2006)

1. ID 48701: In Dicom RDCS ignore SQL errors – “Statement did not return any data” this is allowed and not an error.

2. ID 48702: You can now set a default char set for a data source – this is used if not specified by some other mechanism. For instance Dicom specifies char sets in Dicom IODs eg data source [15].car set = MS950 (Trad Chinese – Taiwan).

3. ID 48703: Dicom file anonymize method did not remove internal raw name encoding.

4. ID 48704: Dicom server and SQL support for Chinese and Japanese.

20. ID 48720: Dicom service and close now has options to not send a release request (used in errors and about).

21. ID 48721: Study selector no longer synchronized on get query results step.

22. ID 48722: Dicom list model tried sending a release request when told to about – now just shuts the socket. - abort was called in the 40I thread on pressing the home or refresh buttons – it could have had a wait for the release exchange to time out.

23. ID 48723: Single * in patient name search broke the new customized name wild cards method in query slip.

24. ID 48724: Dicom proxy server could have the wrong presentation context in a c-store response – upsets a GE centricity. &

25; ID 48725: Remote setting of proxy data sources did not reset the servers cached list of sources – had to restart the server for changes to title effect. &

26; ID 48726: You could not delete proxy data definitions via the options => servers … proxies. &

27; ID 48727: Dicom importer now re-reads import roots on each check cycle. This allows a dynamic update of import locations while the server is running. &

28; ID 48728: Dicom importer when working over ftp only imported one fig per check cycle. &

29; ID 48729: New “servers tab” inter---- to the import proportion of a server. Imports can now be switched off and on as required.

6. ID 47006: NotifyShapeChange in TvObject is now public.

7. ID 47007: Maximize now autoselects the Tv as an exclusive object.

8. ID 47008: StudySelector when choosing a 1x1 image layout dropped the imageFormat button and did not redraw until you moved the mouse giving the appearance of a very slow response when going to 1x1.

9. ID 47009: Add support for adding extra keys to a Dicom move request – changes to dicomServiceManager, DicomService, DicomListModel and DicomServicesList. Also add new services tag for dicom queries “centricity 1=true”.

10. ID 47010: DatForm had an incompatibility error with the ParkinsonsDataInputForm – visual grading is now left and right visual grading. Mining Tool now builds a composite visual field “left-v/right-v.

11. ID 47011: Cope with badly anomymized Dicom files that are explicitly encoded and have a few tags such as patient name that are implicit.

12. ID 47012: Cope with Overlayed contours– Angle, Arrow & line (Poly lines).

13. ID 47013: New QueryResultListener interface for external users of the studySelector catches all selection events (single and double click).

14. ID 47014: Avi Save now works with the overlay. You only get all .avi options over a cineable tv. Avi does not detect whether the required JMF is installed.

15. ID 47015: Fullscreen now gets the right window settings and any colourscale selected.

16. ID 47016: Going Fullscreen on a reformatted image (eg 2 on 1: would not show the correct starting image.

17. ID 47017: Stepping backwards on Fullscreen Mode did not step to the last pane of the previous Tv (it went to the 1 st frame – then back again of course went to the first frame of the next Tv etc).

18. ID 47018: WheelMouse Support on Fullscreen.

19. ID 47019: Fullscreen default drag mode is window.

20. ID 47020: Be far more tolerant on combining separate US images into a single series.

21. ID 47021: Multiframe US images are always cineable (even if not).

22. ID 47022: Data source services tag (centricity1 = true) now forces an image level get rather than series level. Proxy service only.

23. ID 47023: Dicomfile constructor using a bytestream allows for a stream labelled as compressed to actually be uncompressed.

24. ID 47024: DataSourceEditor when constructing a Fields display would check if Instances are deletable even though we don't care in the context of the editor. This could time out if the data source not active.

25. ID 47025: Now measurements can be in one shot mode it became apparent that often an 00 isinvisible because its over the wrong pane it did not pan events to the Tvset.

26. ID 47026: Point mode measurements -+ were still being drawn even if over the wrong pane.

What's new in Dicom Explorer v4.6.9 (Released 1st August, 2005)

1. ID 46901: Wavelet compression can be chosen precisely using a bit rate.

2. ID 46902: The Wavelet output-encoder could randomly choose the wrong codec. We aimed to get the CodecLib Version – we actually needed the other.

3. ID 46903: ImageFileList – add OVD (orthoview Dicom) as a known dicom extension.

4. ID 46904: FPCIT – ParkinsonsDataInputForm changed to updated spec.

What's new in Dicom Explorer v4.6.8 (Released 27th July, 2005)

1. ID 46801: New applet Parameter for desktop.java only (so new dt.jar) FieldDefs[N] value=“datasource[level][field7,len…}” .

2. ID 46802: Chosen subset always stored individual slices/images regardless of what is selected. It used to save a multiframe object if a complete tv were selected.

3. ID 46803: getChosenSubset in tvContainer changed for implementation at 2.

4. ID 46804: ImageFile Constructor that created a subset of frames did not allow for non-indexed SOP ID etc resulting in multiple frames with the same SOP ID, which lead to failing on save.

5. ID 46805: New method of TvContainer.java allows getDataSubset to be used to get all the images as indexed & files.

What's new in Dicom Explorer v4.6.7 (Released 14th July, 2005)

1. ID 46701: Add support for series level and image level delete (for local archives and Pukka-j Dicom).

5. ID 46705: TransferManager now up and running for Dicom and Email drag and drop or copy and paste.

6. ID 46706: Delete does not now re-list everything – only the query model from which something was deleted.

7. ID 46707: DicomURL toString method reconstructs the URL and now has protocol as part of the definition.

8. ID 46708: DicomPing CLI command did not release after ping and all other Dicom CLI urls.

9. ID 46709: C-store through drag and drop or copy and paste in DicomStudy RootList, now keeps connection open if modelling stays the same

10. ID 46710: Patient ID's containing a ‘ eg GUY'S as a PID prevented insertion into the database and failed on getPatientIdentifier() if using SQL as the indexing method.

What's new in Dicom Explorer v4.6.6 (Released 20th June, 2005)

1. ID 46601: DicomFile to DicomMessage did not report exceptions in update IOD.

2. ID 46602: Conversion of report data types from Maps to Dicom would throw an exception if not already converted to RGB images. Exception not seen because of issue mentioned above.

3. ID 46603: DicomFile constructor from a DataFile did not transfer overlay info from say a Maps report file.

4. ID 46604: Maps to Dicom conversion now converts IT_REPORT to RGB not 16 bit Grey Scale.

5. ID 46605: Drop all static storage methods of DicomCacheService for control over multiple simultaneous caches eg doCompress method allows DicomInBox not to gzip and DicomOutBox to gzip as normal. All values default to the system property DicomCache.gzip.

6. ID 46606: New method for DicomBox inherited by DicomInBox and Outbox – do gzip(true of false) – see previous change.

7. ID 46607: Fix a number of inconsistencies in the PatientTreeRenderer that made things go wrong when dragging column widths and swapping columns in the study sections.

8. ID 46608: Added AVI file support to the ImageFileList – needs swapping columns in the study selections.

9. ID 46609: LocalDataBase would re-initialize all fields on doQuery so dragging columns and swapping fields only worked temporarily.

10. ID 46610: When downloading a jpeg or gzip email we now force the preferred subsequent output (if you drag and drop) to the standard transfer syntax. - This might be changed later if the destination actually supports the emails syntax

11. ID 46611: nisinit.jar update: you can now specify a new applet param for dtinit “wavelet” = true/false (and “prompt” for future use). This will install the Java ImageIO extensions including the native PC dll for jpeg2k support.

12. ID 46612: DicomImageList getLevel() returned 3 (same as service level) now returns 4.

13. ID 46613: DicomListModel used original Fields copy to construct an output line where getFields() should have been used.

14. ID 46614: DicomDir Listing would go wrong on refresh if columns swapped – it used the field spec dynamically to create the output line – new method on ListFields getFieldList – gets original index into line based on start location.

15. ID 46615: Interfile listing over ftp now has a percent through progress.

16. ID 46616: Increase subject field in mailserver query by 10 from 30 to 40 characters.

17. ID 46617: Mailserver sent log did not have correct account details if used in conjunction with a defined Mail Datasource – result was image reference failed.

18. ID 46618: BasicListModel getLevel() now returns 0 not –1 as the default level for all queries that do not override this method.

19. ID 46619: SQL queries did not have getLevel methods. 20. ID 46620: AddSeriesList needed to override dispose of BasicListModel and then remove all child nodes. Now if node collapse is detected don't remove all elements but do abortQuery (needed to reset QueryManager). • side effect 1st expand ok • collapse ok • 2 nd expand empty • allow to auto requery ok

21. ID 46621: You can now specify user values for all field preferences for all query types.

22. ID 46622: “Save Column Settings” menu option now available if you manually change field settings over the QueryResultsPage. Only available if Desktop.SaveProfile = true or undefined.

23. ID 46623: Fields editor on DataSourceEditor now correctly generates field preferences that are applied on the “update” button.

24. ID 46624: BasicListModel grep now supports | (the or option) so local databases and our server when using a file based database rather than SQL can be queried for NMICT.

25. ID 46625: Externally defined Datasources in the study selector now correctly appear in the Query step if it's enabled. They can be switched on/off as other sources can.

What's new in Dicom Explorer v4.6.5 (Released 15th June, 2005)

1. ID 46501: Reduce the range of quality factor in jpeg and jpeg2000 Dicom encoding now achieves more modest compression.

2. ID 46502: If we know something is specifically Jpeg encoded rather than Jpeg2000 ie encoded by us then use the standard decoder – otherwise use IA media IO list of possible contenders for an arbitrary codec. - might still need to try list method if standard decoder fails.

3. ID 46503: Delete entry from database eg studydb.hd failed because UID not trimmed when odd. This occurred on N-delete only as this was the only point vids were not trimmed.

4. ID 46504: Add DicomBox, DicomInbox and DicomOutBox to dicom package.

What's new in Dicom Explorer v4.6.4 (Released 26th May, 2005)

1. ID 46401: DicomListModel could fail to find local instances – add “.dcm” if no valid extension found.

2. ID 46402: DataFileEvent can now hold the AE titles involved in the event [if relevant and available] – used in store compatible events.

3. ID 46403: The default move AE for the DicomListModel defaulted to “demo” if the global DicomCacheAE not set. It now defaults to query the URLs calling AE. Note: this is generally overridden anyway by a listModelService option “server = MoveAE:LocalPort”

4. ID 46404: BasicListModel runQuery(listner) expected the listener to be always non-null – can now be null.

5. ID 46405: Initialise the iconCache in NcaseUI to the ext directory /gifs.jar if its found to be null when first used. 6. ID 46406: Default data conversion modality is NM. Dicom file set OT if undefined – now NM

7. ID 46407: When detecting duplicate stores of the sameSOP - abort the first instance and not the new one.

8. ID 46408: Improve DicomArchiveService toString method – include timestamp of when the service started.

9. ID 46409: When comms break but a socket doesn’t throw an exception Dicomstream would retry for up to 20 seconds now reduced to just 4 seconds. Then throw repeated EOF exception – failures = 50 now failures = 10.

What's new in Dicom Explorer v4.6.3 (Released 11th May, 2005)

1. ID 46301: home button added that closes all tabs and any queries.

2. ID 46302: gifs.jar v.5.7 now has home and homero icons

3. ID 46303: DicomImageList had debug statement.

4. ID 46304: DicomServiceManager did not call partialSOP on C-Get-RP results so no feed back to progress bar.

5. ID 46305: C-Get method got each file on a separate connection even when getting a series – this was to support ctn that screwed up on getting a series. Note if Pukka-j detected series is got on a single connection.

6. ID 46306: Support shortened UIDs in paths [historic data] when doing a remote query to a file-based server.

7. ID 46307: File based server did not support C-Get at series level.

8. ID 46308: DicomStudyRootQueryList now shows results as they are coming in – appears more responsive to the user.

9. ID 46309: Query results page could crash of an item was selected in an updating parent.

10. ID 46310: DicomStudyRootList returns deletable = true for an item even when updating.

11. ID 46311: You can now specify a storage root programmatically previously everything used NcaseUI.getLocalStorageRoots.

12. ID 46312: Our Dicom server now supports a new proprietary Abstract syntax that reports all new instances arriving on the server or an open connection.

13. ID 46313: If we get any sort of Error code on reading a service object we now include any error comment in the thrown exception.

14. ID 46314: Disposing of a splash page will now clear out any alerts.

15. ID 46315: There was no timeout on C-Get connections. Now matches the query timeout.

16. ID 46316: DataSource editor update button is only enabled if there is something to update.

17. ID 46317: Proxies tab on Explorer Options – Servers now works so we can define a remote data source on the server.

18. ID 46318: Add proper toString methods to all dicom services such as DicomProxyService.

19. ID 46319: C-Get method of DicomArchiveService did not throw an exception if no files found – This caused DicomProxyService to think the files were already cached on a series get through the proxy.

What's new in Dicom Explorer v4.6.2 (Released 24th April, 2005)

1. ID 46201: New data range options on the query page – last two days, last five days, last calendar month, last year in now calendar year.

2. ID 46202: Study date added to the default list of queryable fields – it has taken precedence over the date panel (the normal way of setting a date range).

3. ID 46203: System print left in NcaseUI.

4. ID 46204: Cine of multiframe RGB database did not start automatically – claimed cast error when trying to force an image load for Cine purposes.

5. ID 46205: A “modalities in study” query did not support wild card entries [or just modality for that matter] on a given value [it was SQLStudyRootList didn’t look for a value]. All values were returned.

6. ID 46206: DataSourceEditor now has a menu option for switching on/off the “Modalities in study” query.

7. ID 46207: ReportArea used by MailContentViewer did not set a default colour if report.backgroundColor undefined. It ended up being black (which was the same as the text).

8. ID 46208: Debug message left in TvSet – ShowDetails.

9. ID 46209: QueryField Study date added as an optional html Param: dt.jar

10. ID 46210: the dt applet now sets a title for the frame as “Dicom Explorer” and the version where it was previously untitled.

11. ID 46211: gifs.jar blueface.gif did not have a transparent background. Now used on PasswordDialogue.

12. ID 46212: gifs.jar added adac.gif

13. ID 46213: ADAC native retrieve and ftp to a destination available over displayed images if they were originally ADAC and have been archived.

14. ID 46214: DicomImporter skips directories called something_archive and it creates these when importing native files – could go recursive.

15. ID 46215: NcaseUI storage events were not being sent to clients if unset UIDs were set to space and not null – DicomSeriesList did not receive reading events.

16. ID 46216: Our server was always reserializing dicom objects after reading them from disk rather than keeping the read message. DicomArchiveService that implements C-move now specifically asks for the IOD to be kept – 20 times speed improvement – remaking an IOD must be very inefficient.

17. ID 46217: DicomListModel on a C-Get sent a data update 100% event before it had read the image, only when it sent the get request.

What's new in Dicom Explorer v4.6.1 (Released 13th April, 2005)

1. ID 46101: Datasouce[N].Storeurl can now be manually edited in the properties file to allow a different IP address and port number for the storage service associated with a given query. Caters for some GE centricity PACS setups with 1 IP and Port for query and another for storage.

2. ID 46102: Coding scheme version (8,103: was mission from DicomDict.

3. ID 46103: Missing RT tags from DicomDict 300A BE leaf position boundaries 300ACE Beam description.

4. ID 46104: When importing legacy data with no ascension number field DicomExplorer generated an internal accession number. This is now blank. You cannot send made up accessions to PACS/RIS – should be blank if unknown.

5. ID 46105: DataFile now adds a SOP class UID as NM_store as a default – for MAPS, Interfile and ADAC file if not explicitly set. Overidden by all subclasses such as DicomFile.

6. ID 46106: ServerOptions when sending updated props did not read the action response – then got an error when waiting for a release response and it reads the action response.

7. ID 46107: QRS settings on server security tab were not updated and flushed properly

8. ID 46108: QRS settings now honoured by our DicomServer for a given node in non-promiscuous mode.

9. ID 46109: Tightened security – if no QRS specified for a node then no query retrieved or store allowed.

10. ID 46110: New feature – for any given DicomNode you can now limit the number of query responses in the Server Options Known Aes. The default is unlimited.

11. ID 46111: Apparently GE centricity can respond with multiple series entries with the same series UIDs. This is because it can change tag values [see conformance statement] but not change the UIDs. This can result in multiple entries with the same UID within a study listing. We now have a duplicate UID policy with currently only one option to take the last occurrence of a UID as the most up to date version. This is currently only implemented by DicomServiceList. The implementation is generic on any tag field.

12. ID 46112: Tag 18,2001 Page Number Vector missing from DicomDict

13. ID 46113: Hdr new method to get an IntegerArray value using any seperator on the value eg “\\” or “,”. 14. ID 46114: Detect cineable multiframe secondary capture [page number vector]

What's new in Dicom Explorer v4.6.0 (Released 17th March, 2005)

1. ID 46001: Fairly major change to DataSource object that allows that allows for a different store URL or directive associated with a data source. EG centricity PACs may have one AE for query and another AE for store. This extension allows a completely different URL including Ip address and/or port number differences for a store operation.

2. ID 46002: The change listed at 46001 also required an addition to the QueryListModel – 2 new methods getStorageURL and setStorageURL.

3. ID 46003: Add support for query and display of study Description Tag.

4. ID 46004: Add support for query and display of Study Status ID ie created…completed…read In database as StudyLevel.Priv[9 chars].

5. ID 46005: Debug messages removed from SQLListModel

6. ID 46006: NcaseUI data formatting methods were not thread safe. They shared instances of SimpleDateFormat. This resulted in data errors when multiple processes queried our server simultaneously. Also when our client made multiple simultaneous queries.

7. ID 46007: DicomStream in and out buffers increased from 16k to 128k – improves download speed to slow connections.

8. ID 46008: DicomService Manager only showed rejected Associations in debug mode – now a proper trace image with full error rating.

9. ID 46009: Auto forward to multiple destinations now works – rules were not being combined into composite rules when defined for multiple destinations.

10. ID 46010: DicomHdr and DicomFile assumed different defaults when faced with an unknown transfer syntax. use DicomHdr defaults as they work – assume implicit VR Little Endian ie default transfer syntax. Specifically allow GE SDC transfer syntax ie a file read directly from a GE ADW workstation.

11. ID 46011: GE SDC transfer syntax has byte reversed data when its 16 bit – this is only the case when read directly off disc.

12. ID 46012: ADAC gated axials – now get number of frames correct and offset – still needs correct vectors to 6402k display in an MPR – Offset = 128 bytes x number of bins gating = 1111……2……

13. ID 46013: Correct vectors for ADAC gated axials – still a problem if more than one gated axial view eg axial and sagittal? in one file. Added vectored frame including ptu for detection and split by splash page.

14. ID 46014: When adding or editing a dicom node on the SecurityPanel – server options it was possible to lose the edit if you clicked onto the Forwarding Panel. Values are now flushed on any change of selected Tab.

15. ID 46015: When the server now saves a local props file it creates a backup by moving the file to dicom104.props~ and then writing a new copy. This prevents the previous file corruptions resulting from overwriting but not truncating the props file.

16. ID 46016: Advanced forwarding rules now work – only limitation is BasicListModel grep needs to be split off and support | (the or option).

What's new in Dicom Explorer v4.5.8 (Released 4th March, 2005)

1. ID 45801: Remove the warning message from DicomCacheService about allowing more than 1 identity – not required.

2. ID 45802: Can now cope with double barrel names.

3. ID 45803: Don’t report an error if the client simply breaks the connection while waiting for find responses.

4. ID 45804: Our C-store process when triggered by a C-more request to our server sent two release requests and then closed the stream without waiting for a response

5. ID 45805: Our DicomListModel did not send a release request after querying a remote device – it just disconnected.

6. ID 45806: removed debug message from the ProxyService.

7. ID 45807: Add small delay in DicomService after sending a release response otherwise socket reset stops the packet getting through.

8. ID 45808: A blank series date field caused an SQL exception – trap and replace with 0

9. ID 45809: Added 16 colour scale [Adac…]

10. ID 45810: Two diagnostic messages left in DicomImport for ADAC file types

11. ID 45811: Added option to DT class – the standalone DicomExplorer application. Command line option is "-iconified" to start the application as an icon.

12. ID 45812: There was no timeout on the ftp connections used by the SQL query when retrieving images. It now matches the timeout of the underlying SQL query.

13. ID 45813: FPCIT data mining tool – shorten the search option Strings & tick boxes to fit in smaller screens

14. ID 45814: New embedded authorisation interface that allows coded authorisation methods for user names. Used by FPCIT .

15. ID 45815: 1st upload from FPCIT with no database defined crashed.

16. ID 45816: ExternalReport class added for interfacing the new template reports. New Gifs.jar 5.6

1. ID 45701: Cope with multiple Modalities in a study. Alter table StudyLevel change modality to modalities char(255: not null

2. ID 45702: Dicomserver new flags Init – builds a database from scratch Noupdate– stops server looking for database changes.

3. ID 45703: Group 0 length often calculated wrongly in responses and requests as a result of old code specifically measured group length and adding as the last item – this code was required before MessageItem handled group lengths itself. It assumed group length had not already been added so was consistently 12 bytes too long.

4. ID 45704: Retired group length to end tag [[group][0x000]] was misinterpreted – value set to end of group rather than end of message – fixed in MessageItem that automatically calculated value if tag present in a group.

5. ID 45705: Added Cequal colour scale

6. ID 45706: DicomImport reported a null pointer exception if nothing to import.

7. ID 45707: MakeDimseReply now takes a status code instead of Boolean success/fail, giving a full range of response codes.

8. ID 45708: Better error reporting from our server when a query or store fails. Show error if SOP contains an error status rather than “no matches found”.

9. ID 45709: DicomImageList & DicomSerialsList did not close association if an exception thrown in the query.

10. ID 45710: Querying “destination AE” via RETRIEVE_AE to our Dicom server now works.

11. ID 45711: Command Attribute tags (0000,1005: missing from IOD lookup but statically defined.

12. ID 45712: Our DicomServer user validation protocol did not set the filter for users with admin rights i.e. DicomUser[nm].groups = admin.

13. ID 45713: A user query can now be limited to a given destination AE if using our server for user validation. DicomUser[nm].aes = Qube

14. ID 45714: Change to desktop java to allow QueryField.SourceAE QueryField.DestinationAE to be preset in hmtl.

15. ID 45715: Querying “sourceAE” via PERFORMED_STATION_AE to our server now supported.

16. ID 45716: DicomSeriesList – trap exceptions in data update call back.

What's new in Dicom Explorer v4.5.6 (Released 14th Febuary 2005)

1. ID 45601: SQLImageList broken in 4.5.5 when modified to cope with ImageID and frames query – failed if more than one image.

2. ID 45702: SeriesLevelTable has modality as ‘mod’ this is a reserved word for MySQL 4 anwards – short for MODIFY

What's new in Dicom Explorer v4.5.5 (Released 07th Febuary 2005)

1. ID 45501: SQL ImageList contained trace statements

2. ID 45502: Add support for Image ID query at Image level for DicomImageList and SQLImageList – needed for NM principally– also add Frames query to SQL ImageList.

9. ID 45509: ProxyService broken if proper DicomService defined as a DataSource. In this case the server substituted the name in the DicomServer tag for the remote server – very unlikely to be true AE. When our server acts as a Proxy 1 – It looks for a full data source definition and will use the calling AE from that or services local AE:PDR. 2 – If no data source it gets the value of DicomCache.ae 3 – if not defined use the original callers AE name 4 – Node is defined then dataSource is constructed using DicomCache.AE as calling.AE – if this is not defined it defaults to PJ_SCU A local service is started if the port number for the local service port is unallocated. This port is derived from the services tag SERVER_AE:port if the destination AE is in a well defined DataSource.

14. ID 45514: Adac file looked for a viewID = “VOLUME” for a rendered /Mip/3D object. Now looks for a viewID starting with “VOLUME”.
