    DeleteElement does not exist I think? There is DeleteFromSequence, or setting an element to nil.

  • K-PACS Workstation 2.5 ?

    Correct. K-PACS was a spare time project. iQ IMAGE took over the development as a joint project to make a medical device out of it. There has never been any more activity since version 1.6. iQ-VIEW as its medical device successor is still being developed and maintained actively.

  • K-PACS how to's: localize your K-PACS

    Quote from Ushavilash

    Thanks for the guide on localizing K-PACS. But since K-PACS doesn’t support Unicode, translating to languages like Chinese or Cyrillic can be tricky. I found using tools like texthumanizer.ai helpful for text changes or trying iQ-VIEW as an alternative, as it supports Unicode. Do you think future updates could make it easier to use other languages?

    There will be no future updates for K-PACS.

  • Out now - iQ-VIEW 4.0 - MDR certified 64 bit

    8) iQ-VIEW 4.0 8)

    Download the new version in our download center.

    The official announcement on our website: https://image-systems.biz/news-events/de…leased-iq-view/

    What’s new in iQ-VIEW 4.0?

    SIGNIFICANT PERFORMANCE INCREASE:

    • Speedy query/retrieve: Retrieve CT/MR studies from remote DICOM archives 2 - 3.5 times faster than before.
    • Twice as fast local database searches: The new local SQLite database replaces the file-based system, improving data management and enabling new features like additional columns in the study browser.
    • Advanced 64-bit architecture: Process and display large studies of virtually unlimited size and images even up to 500 megapixel resolution.
    • Expanded image cache: Three times larger cache enhances image processing of large studies, such as real-time image magnification.
    • Stable handling of large studies: Support for modern 64-bit email clients (e.g. Outlook, Microsoft 365) ensures reliable processing of very large studies.

    AMAZING NEW FEATURES:

    • Display of multiphase studies: Automatically split MR phases stored in multiphase objects and easily switch and compare phases. Create time intensity curves for selected phases (PRO version only).
    • Improved structured reporting: Optimized report dialog supports different workflows. Choose between traditional or fast-track report approval methods, with essential patient and study information prominently displayed.
    • Enhanced quality control and multisite management: New columns in the study browser show the institution names and number of files for better data management and quality control.
    • Non-DICOM image export: Export non-DICOM images in full DICOM resolution without needing to zoom into specific areas.
    • Consistent secondary viewer button functionality across network, database and filesystem tab, e.g. for mammography, simplified study retrieval, and automatic GDT call invocation make the work with iQ-VIEW even more efficient.

    BETTER INTEGRATION:

    • New command line parameters: Now supports patient ID, study instance UID and accession number for opening studies via command line call without GDT.

    CYBER SECURITY AND COMPLIANCE:

    • GDPR-compliant logging: Revised logging process ensures only patient ID, accession number, modality and body part are logged.
    • MDR compliance: iQ-VIEW, along with iQ-ROUTER, complies as a component of iQ-SYSTEM PACS with the Medical Device Regulation (EU) 2017/745, ensuring high-quality standards and continued software distribution and development.

  • Out now: iQ-VIEW/PRO and iQ-LITE 3.1!

    Hello! I'm new to PACS, so I apologize for any stupid questions. Our facility has a perpetual license for PACS-IQ-WEBX 10, PACS-IQ-4VIEW 20, PACS-IQ-WEBX-WADO, this was installed in 2019, unfortunately we were unable to purchase a system upgrade. Now we have been informed that updating the system will be more expensive than purchasing the same perpetual license again. So I have a question will we need to purchase renewals for the perpetual license every year? And what will happen to our new perpetual license if we are unable to purchase an upgrade again? I will be grateful for the answer!

    Hello Valentyn,

    I forwarded your request to our sales team.

  • get rid of unused paper formats in iQ-VIEW 2.7 print manager

    Quote from dbartalena

    adding more format is good but it would be a nice thing to let the user decide which one he really needs.

    at least there should be an option to customize the order of the available formats so users who only have 2 different film sizes could put them on top instead of having to scroll trough a long list.

    something like this is possible in the list of PACS nodes location; I can customize the list order by manually editing the proper .ini file

    is there any .ini file I could tweak the film size order this way?

    Unfortunately not but we have your feature request in our system. And we also have an idea how to accomplish this without too much effort.

    New features come with a lot of documentation and validation overhead when developing medical devices so we cannot ship them in short cycles.

    In the end I have to ask for your patience.

  • 64 bit version of iQ-VIEW

    Quote from dbartalena

    you should reconsider this...

    64bit is the future... image data volume is always rising and sooner or later all 32bit DICOM viewers will become obsolete

    Sure. It's not like we don't want it. Many dependencies make this a big challenge. Internal and external libraries need to be compiled with 64 bit, too. All those third party integrations have to work as well. Every vendor specific DICOM incompliance, that has been fixed, has to work on 64 bit as well.

    Next year we will be working on some substantial improvements and we will also check how far we will come on the path to 64 bit.

    Until iQ-VIEW 4.0 I hope our patches (like our current 3.1.2) will improve your current experience.

    Kind regards

    Erik
