Version 1.0

Effective date:

Release notes: Workflow and reporting

Workflow and reporting: Version 10.0

New Features

Improved Archive Synchronization (IOCM Support) 

This release introduces Imaging Object Change Management (IOCM) support to improve synchronization between the PACS and external long-term archives. 

What’s new: 

  • Support for sending IOCM notifications when archived studies are deleted, split, merged, moved, or cloned 

  • A new facility level setting to enable or disable IOCM message generation 

  • Improved alignment between the PACS and IOCM compliant archives that support standard rejection and replacement notifications 

Important notes: 

  • IOCM generation currently assumes archive presence. Improvements planned for future releases. 

  • Updates to patient level demographics or exam-level data updates continue to generate ADT messages and/or ORM messages, independent of IOCM behavior. 

Improved Stability During AI‑Assisted Reporting 

What’s New 

  • We’ve improved the reliability of AI‑assisted report corrections by preventing edits while AI processing is in progress. 

  • Previously, if a user-initiated AI corrections and then modified the report (for example, by inserting a comparison study or editing content) before AI processing is completed, the system could place AI‑generated text in the wrong location. This could result in formatting issues, overwritten content, or inconsistent report structure. 

Impact to Users:

While AI processing is running: 

  • The reporting screen is temporarily locked 

  • “AI is processing” message is displayed 

  • Editing, navigation, and insertion actions are disabled 

Once AI processing completes (or if it fails), the screen is automatically unlocked and normal interaction resumes. 

Reset Local Cache  

Users can now manually clear the viewer's local image cache directly from within the application. This provides a self-service resolution path for image loading and synchronization issues without requiring support intervention. 

How to Use

  • Open the user profile dropdown menu in the top navigation. 

  • Select "Reset local cache." 

  • Review the warning dialog and confirm by clicking "Reset Local Cache" (highlighted by default — press Enter to confirm), or dismiss by clicking "Cancel." 

What Happens on Confirmation 

  • The local OPFS cache directory, and all IndexedDB entries are cleared. 

  • Any exams currently loading or queued for caching are interrupted and will be re-cached automatically. 

  • Cached images will be re-downloaded from the server; a temporary impact on image load performance may be observed during this period. 

  • The application reloads and reinitializes into a clean state. 

What Is Not Affected 

  • Personal preferences — including window/level presets, layouts, and other viewer settings — are not modified by this action. 

This tool is intended for use when experiencing issues with image loading or synchronization.  

Note 

Clearing the local cache may take several minutes. Do not refresh or close the browser until the process is complete. The worklist remains accessible during this time.
