The software will be available on the Imaging FTP directory under your site's folder. Only sites that have their release agreements on file and have installed patch 1 (MAG*3.0*1) are candidates for receiving the software. Please contact Kathy Trombetta to check the status of your site's release agreement. Kathy can be contacted via exchange mail or phone 301-734-0357. Test sites that are Beta testing Imaging Consolidation software should not install this patch. NOIS: ======== UNY-0202-11731 Test Sites: ============= Huntington, WV Tucson, AZ Syracuse, NY Puget Sound, Wa Spokane, Wa Enhancements Provided: ============================ Changed Stack Viewer to make it respond to the Enable Series Processing option setting in the Manager. When Enable Series Processing is ON, the Stack Viewer will display exam series in separate stacks. When OFF, the Stack Viewer will display all exam series in a single stack. Added the capacity to the Stack Viewer to sort images within a series by image location, or by image number. The sort option can be selected by the user from the Stack pull-down menu. The selected sort will affect all exams subsequently opened in the Stack Viewer-it will not re-sort an exam that has already been opened. Note: the new image number sort corrects some problems that resulted in image interleaving for certain types of studies. Added a new status line to each cell. The new status line includes the following fields: Slice Thickness (0018, 0050) Slice Location (0020, 1041) Contrast Indicator (0018, 0010) Modifications: ===================== 1) Change made to automatically show all cells actually occupied when a new exam is loaded. 2) Added a dual-function Set Layout button to the Stack Viewer toolbar. The new button can be used in two ways: - When clicked, it allows the user to toggle between the last user-specified layout and the "Show All Occupied Cells" setting. - As a "pull-down" control it allows the user to open a box used to change the current layout. 3) Fixed problem that prevented ROIs from being panned (moved) within a cell. 4) Corrected bug that caused stacks to scroll in the wrong direction while dragging with the middle mouse button. 5) Improved the algorithm used to calculate initial image window/level when no window/level is specified from modality. Documentation: ==================== The VistARad User's guide has been updated to include all enhancements and modifications. The updated document is included in on-line help for the client VistARad workstation software. Installation Instructions: ============================ Download the Vistarad_setup.exe from the Imaging FTP Sites folder for download; the file is located in the sub-folder "Patch_6_VistARad" on your site's folder.

Verify installation by viewing the version of the software: 1) VistARad Manager--3.0.30; 2) VistARad Viewer--3.0.15 Note: Acrobat Reader version 4.0 or later is required for proper display of the user guide; an installation file for Acrobat 5.0 was included on the Imaging 3.0 Patch 1 CD.
