Enhancements

This release provides the following enhancements.

Tabs on the AI Panel

With Detect AI enabled, while you are viewing an image, the AI panel (on the right) has two tabs: Image Verify and Detect AI. Now, as you navigate between images in a series/set, the selected tab remains selected.

Enhanced Image Verify Tab

With Detect AI enabled, while you are viewing an image, the details that appear on the Image Verify tab of the AI panel (on the right) have been enhanced. On the Image Verify tab, the Image Quality Rating and Other Information are presented separately. The star-based image quality rating appears with contextual issue messaging so you can quickly and confidently assess image quality without ambiguous guidance. Based on the star rating of an image, the messaging that appears clearly explains the detected quality concerns or confirms that no issues were found.

The following quality information may appear:

  • A star-based rating from 1 to 5 stars.
  • Depending on the rating, the applicable messaging appears:

Show Retake Banner Only When Image Verify Tab Is Selected

With Detect AI enabled, while you are viewing an image that has a 3-star rating or less, the “Consider Review or Retake” banner appears above the image only if the Image Verify tab is selected on the AI panel (on the right).

Note: This holds true whether the AI panel is currently visible or hidden.

You will notice that, in the following image, the Detect AI tab is selected, so the banner does not appear:

Fixes

This release resolves the following issues:

  • An error appears when certain SOTA images are extracted. (IMG-156)
  • You cannot merge patients because the count for the number of exams is incorrect. (IMG-183)
  • With the Sidexis extractor, an error is not logged when MediaInfo returns code 400, and the log for the patient card ID is not descriptive. (IMG-314)
  • The Sidexis extractor returns the incorrect total number of extracted images. (IMG-315)
  • The RealCloud extractor stops, and the following error appears: “System.InvalidOperationException: ‘Each parameter in the deserialization constructor on type ‘RealCloud.Common.Models.PatientData’ must bind to an object property or field on deserialization. Each parameter name must match with a property or field on the object. Fields are only considered when ‘JsonSerializerOptions.IncludeFields’ is enabled. The match can be case-insensitive.’” (IMG-491)
  • When you are viewing a CBCT 2D snapshot exam, in the brightness/contrast editor, you can change the brightness and contrast, but instead of black and white levels, it displays “Window Width” and “Window Center.” (IMG-549)
  • When you are syncing offline procedures, the list of patients to select from displays the incorrect exam count. (IMG-559)
  • With Image Verify, error messages for code 500 (Internal Server Error) appear in the console. (IMG-606)
  • In the Modality View, when you select “More” while using Tiled View, the “Use Five Anterior Positioning” checkbox is available but should not be. (IMG-610)
  • In compare mode, the state of the B/C button is not updating until the you select a different image, and then goes back to the original. (IMG-624)
  • In the Exam View, if Detect AI is enabled, the side panel does not display any results, and there is a white bar at the top. (IMG-653)
  • If you take a single image exam, the “No Quality Information Available” message appears for a while before the correct results appear. (IMG-659)
  • The patient search dialog box for the offline sync does not have a scroll bar. (IMG-660)
  • You can start an acquisition by using the keyboard shortcut X + ALT even if you have not been granted the “Acquire Patient Images” right. (IMG-663)
