    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!

    Quote from Valentyn Kryazh
    Code
    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

    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

  • iQ-VIEW 3.0 is out now

    Good news. The iQ-VIEW 3.1 development is close to finish. In december we will stop the implementation and start the validation process. A lot of documentation has to be created as well.


    The biggest improvement will be seen in the automatic previous study management, which is now able to include studies based on similar patient names (mitigating typos or different patient IDs in the PACS).


    There will also be some speed improvements concerning the study retrieval and new print formats.

    Hello Dr. Bartalena,


    we have so far completed the implementation phase, so now we need to finalize the documentation and validation phase. This will take several weeks, especially due to the holidays at the end of the year.
