1. Introduction
This document provides general information about the new software release and includes information not specifically covered in other documentation. It is divided into the following sections: o o o o New Features in Version 11.1 Major Defects Resolved Known Problems and Limitations Installation Requirements
Customizable toolbars and menus The new user interface can be easily customized by each user, directly from the application using right-click mouse button. Some of the aspects that can be adjusted are: o Assign any operation to the right-click menu and/or into a designated ribbon bar (My Tab). An administrator can control the content of my tab and lock if desired to create a more manageable system for the referring community. A shortcut can be assigned to any button/menu. A summary list of shortcuts can be printed for reference. Commonly used layouts can be assigned to my layouts bar for quick access. Default ribbon tab can be configured. Group level toolbars and scroll bars can be pinned or eliminated from the interface as needed.
o o o o
Group and Image level toolbars Various operations are now accessible directly from the group/image level, providing quicker access and a better understanding of each operations context (or which object the operation applies to). Revised layout management The layout mechanism has been completely revised in this version: o o Layout system is now monitor-based rather than viewbox-based. A new navigation system simplifies navigation between various opened applications (viewboxes). Applications can be brought up to view through tabs, keyboard or shortcuts.

The layout can be set through various methods starting with keyboard shortcuts, toolbar buttons and the layout wizard. Tile mode provides easy way to show a group tiled over multiple monitors. Easily toggle between one or two monitor presentation for clinical application.
Note: Due to various changes in the layout management system, there are various restrictions that may apply: Clinical applications now use a full monitor (or more) and cannot be opened on a partial monitor. A viewbox must occupy the entire screen. A group cannot split between two monitors unless being displayed in Tile mode.
Those restrictions may cause old DPs to be displayed incorrectly. During the upgrade, your DPs will be converted by the system in order to ensure that they will not violate those rules. Note that although we try to optimize the presentation as much as possible, there might be some DPs that will have to be manually re-designed for optimal display. Patient Mini Archive The patient mini archive has been rebuilt and now offers enhanced functionality. The new Patient mini archive can be used either in full screen mode or strip mode to optimize the screen space as needed. o Full screen mode provides a complete insight into patient jacket including access to studies, series thumbnails, reports and sticky notes. o Improved filtering capabilities, as well as the timeline group, ease the process of searching for a particular prior study. Full screen mode can be used in various layouts. You interdependently control the size of its components.
Strip mode docks into the image viewing area and provides easy access to the study thumbnails.
Browsing prior studies and partial loading In both modes, the PMA allows browsing prior series BEFORE loading the actual studies. In addition, dragging an unloaded series automatically loads that specific series, hence providing means to examine large priors selectively.

Clinical Applications o Vessel / Coronary Tracking: Automatic coronary extraction This algorithm automatically segments the coronary arteries and gives names to the major ones (for example, LAD, RCA, LCA). Automatic body vessels This algorithm automatically segments the major arteries in body scans and gives names to the major ones (for example, the iliac arteries). Improved Vessel Management A new set of tools provide additional means to extend, truncate or branch from active vessels. In addition, the application allows defining of new vessels without changing the layout (Quick vessel); renaming vessels and recalculating their contours after editing changes are made to the vessels.
Tissue Definition A new freehand contour tool allows you to freely segment tissues in individual slices (either using the axial, coronal or sagittal planes), while the tool automatically morphs between the intervening slices. Volume Rendering Enhancements A new volume rendering engine completely replaces the old engine. The new engine offers better images as well as configurable trade-off between quality and speed. Note: For high performance computers, set the rendition mode to enhanced mode, and the interactive quality to high. For older machines set the rendition mode to non-enhanced. Bone Removal Algorithm The bone removal algorithm is now augmented by an additional tool that removes residual bones if these are present. You can use this tool in cases where some fragments remain after the automatic tool runs.
Mammography o Nipple / Vertical Alignment Using either a nipple detection algorithm or information coming from a CAD object, the system can automatically align related images vertically by locating both nipples over the same horizontal line. Study Replacement Provides means of replacing an entire study with a different one, either through study date annotation or by dragging a study from the patient mini archive. The replacement process loads the new study and apply its views to replaced locations as designated by the DP. Reference Lines and Relate Reference lines tools provide cross correlation of a given ROI, between several mammograms based on the distance from the nipple. Viewbox Shortcuts You can now assign keyboard shortcuts through the DP to the designated viewbox. Once clicked, this triggers the navigation system and brings up the designated viewbox.

Client Miscellaneous
Search Tools The search tab offers direct integration with various 3rd party search tools (such as StatDX, YottaLook and Google) for quick web search. Enter search terms manually or extract them automatically from the DICOM header. Additional search engines may be configured as needed. Improved Help System The following additions to the help system makes the system easier for use and more intuitive to learn. o Balloon Assistant Various functionality is now accompanied by the ad-hoc assistant, which provides usage hints and tips. This assistant can be turned off as needed (Do not show this again). o Training Videos A library of online training videos is now provided as part of the online Help resources. Videos are accessible either by demand or as part of the Balloon assistant (where the system automatically links to the relevant video based on the functionality being used)

o Welcome/Messages Page Upon first login to V11.1, you are presented with a welcome page that offers various links to online Help resources. This page can be customized according to the sites needs and can also be used at later stages to communicate various site-specific messages (such as planned system downtime, upgrades, etc). The system has a built-in mechanism to track the page update time, so each user is being presented with messages only once per update.
Server HCFFs
As part of the new load mechanism, header files are now stored in the file system at the study level. Expected file size is negligible. HCFFs for new studies are created during the Store process. HCFFs for existing studies will be created gradually by the new WFM Framework.

current displayed locations. This is contrary to the normal load protocol that retrieves images in a linier order from first to last with no flexibility. Changing the displayed images will change the loading priorities so that nearby images are always more available and responsiveness is improved. Another improvement is the ability to load and view very large studies. This is performed by selectively loading the parts of the study that are needed for viewing and/or processing up to the capacity the client can manage. Unneeded parts of the study are eliminated from the view, for example, if the focus has shifted to another section of the study in order to load more relevant sections of this study. All sections of the study can be reloaded if needed again. Note: PACS will continue to support the previous "fast" load protocol for back support over grid.

Turn OFF the IE8 DEP mechanism on IE toolbar, Click Tools->Options->Advanced. Under the Security tab, make sure Enable Memory Protection is unchecked.
Some DPs may not be converted properly due to various new UI restriction that were introduced in V11.1 (for example, a DP containing multiple MPR application in the same monitor, can not be converted as is, as you such a layout is no longer supported). For a complete list of DP limitations refer to the configuration section of this document.
Server Database
NEARLINE studies will not have series icons created for them: o The WFM framework will create series icons when the studies return to online. o This means that when a NEARLINE study is being loaded (without pre-fetch or bringing it to ONLINE), the PMA will not show its group icons until the study is completely loaded. IS Link sync does not support ADT-A29 Delete Patients Document Agent file size limitation The maximum file size that can be imported to the system is 100M

CD-Direct Server
In SMA, The option of Burn at a scheduled time is not functioning. In a Grid configuration, when burning a study from the global worklist, if the study and the report come from different servers the report will not be burned. In a windows cluster, CD-Direct is installed by default as a windows server, but it does not function. CD-Direct Auto-Delete deletes all the tasks that are in 'DONE' status (regardless of the free disk space configuration). Installing CD-Direct server in an NPD environment After installing CD-Direct, change the NPD rules: do not copy images arriving in CD Direct server. RIMAGE printing template file For languages Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Hebrew, and Arabic: change the font of the text fields (using the CD Designer program). The currently selected font does not support these languages. The template file: [Install Dir] \ CDSURF \ RESOURCES \ CDSURF_NEW.BTW Cannot burn to a remote/network RIMAGE installation.
CD-Direct Monitor
Opening the CD-Direct monitor from the web on a machine other than the CD-Direct server requires setting the java property permission java.security.AllPermission; in the local java.policy file (usually under D:\Program Files\Java\<JRE-HOME>\lib\security)
