1 Introduction

1.1 Purpose

This document provides the release notes for the release of NilRead (software version 4.0.49.83795).

Please see important note in Section 3.1 regarding feature licenses.

This release is for English in all deployment regions, and for the Europe deployment region, German,

Italian, French, Dutch, and Spanish. Simplified Chinese is also supported. For other languages, please

contact Lexmark.

1.2 Intended Use Statement In the U.S.: The NilRead software application provides desktop and portable access to multi-modality softcopy medical images, reports and other patient related information for conducting diagnostic review, planning, and reporting through the interactive display and manipulation of medical data, including mammography and breast tomosynthesis. NilRead also allows users to collaborate by sharing application sessions. Lossy compressed mammographic images are not intended for diagnostic review. Mammographic images should only be viewed with a monitor approved by FDA for viewing mammographic images. For primary diagnosis, post process DICOM “for presentation” images must be used. On mobile platforms, this device is not intended for diagnostic use. In Canada: The NilRead software application provides desktop and portable access to multi-modality softcopy medical images, reports and other patient related information for conducting diagnostic review, planning, and reporting through the interactive display and manipulation of medical data. NilRead also allows users to collaborate by sharing application sessions. NilRead is for use with MRI, CT, Ultrasound, Digital Fluoroscopy, Digital Angiography, X-ray, Mammography, DBT, and Nuclear Medicine Images. On portable (mobile) platforms, this device is not intended to replace full workstations and should be used only when there is no access to a workstation. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure the software is used on appropriate hardware and to verify display image quality is suitable for the clinical application. Mobile use is not intended for diagnostic review of Mammography and DBT. In all other regions: The NilRead software application provides desktop and portable access to multi-modality softcopy medical images, reports and other patient related information for conducting diagnostic review, planning, and reporting through the interactive display and manipulation of medical data, including mammography. NilRead also allows users to collaborate by sharing application sessions.

Doc #: 971-07094, Rev 1.0


Mammographic Images should only be viewed with a monitor approved by the FDA for viewing mammographic images, or monitors with similar specifications.

Query/Retrieve level is configurable for retrieve and cache mode (see

“ForceRetrieveLevelToStudy” configuration item in nil.config)

Support eMPI HL7v2: When setting up XDS with MPI, you must now supply both the PDQ and

PIX address in the page. (They may be the same endpoint - it depends on the MPI

configuration guidelines.)

Add support for the Secondary Capture Image Storage SOP class for DICOM video mpeg4

Option now to filter out studies with only KO series in the timeline. The relevant config is

PatientHistoryFilteredModalities in nil.config

3rd party application launch enhancements. See NilRead Third Party Launch Configuration

Localizations: The 4.0.48.82468 version has been localized to French, German and Italian for the

Europe deployment region. Note that the hanging protocols editor, keyboard and mouse editor and

Nil Hub pages are not localized.

Version 4.0.47.82171:

Display the number of series/images on the Patient Search page for the remote devices that

provide this information during Dicom negotiations. Note: the default query attributes for a

remote DICOM source doesn’t not include this information as older PACS do not support it. You

can now, though, extend the attributes queried from a DICOM source to include the number of

series and number of images:

The default set of attributes includes: PatientsSex? PatientId? DateRange? AccessionNumber? PatientsName? PatientsBirthDate? ModalitiesInStudy?

To extend this set for a DICOM source that is known to support other query attributes, addDataSourceModels? configuration to Nil.config, e.g.: <setting name="DataSourceModels?" serializeAs="String">

<value>

[ { "name": "<NAME OF YOUR DICOM SOURCE>", "templates": [ {id: "PatientsSex?" }, {id: "PatientId?" }, {id: "DateRange?"}, {id: "AccessionNumber?" }, {id: "PatientsName?" }, {id: "PatientsBirthDate?" }, {id: "ModalitiesInStudy?" }, {id: "NumberOfStudyRelatedInstances?" }, {id: "NumberOfStudyRelatedSeries?" } ] } ]

The extendibility works for both Patient Search queries and worklists.

Display blank columns for series/images on the Patient Search page for the remote devices that

do not provide this information

Patient Search page auto-restore configuration control: Include the modality attribute to the list

of preserved options

Added the items from Rotate sub-menu to the list of customizable toolbar icons

Version 4.0.47.81711:

Patient Search page improvements: prevent user session "freezing" and timeouts during

retrieving of large Reports

Added support for AcuoStore catalog name override on VNA configuration screen

Studies which contain corrupted or which have a proprietary image format will now load, and

there will be a warning on the screen if the user tries to view such an image.

Version 4.0.47.81376

Circle annotation added

Patient Search can be extended by adding the following to nil.config:

<setting name="PatientSearchExtendedInputs" serializeAs="String">

<value>

[

{"name":"OtherPatientIds", "location": "secondary"},

{"name":"DocumentUid", "location": "primary", "family": "xds"}

]

</value>

</setting>

Add support for synchronized scrolling of OCT images

NilFeed will not keep retrying to send cases which are rejected due to integrity violation

Added support for File Study submenu in patient directory to display only folders that are

currently visible in the worktree after migration from the older versions of Nil (3.X) to the

latest

Add support for sigmoid LUT with DBT images

Version 4.0.46.81120

Support for DICOM Mpeg4 video files. See Appendix A for details on the supported features.

NilFeed has been rebranded to Lexmark’s branding

Version: 4.0.45.80627

Updated Structured Report template to view reports with embedded HTML

Further improvements in data morphing to enable new attributes injection

Doc #: 971-07094, Rev 1.0


Version 4.0.44.80092

Entered criteria is remembered between sessions for users (e.g. if you are in Patient Search

tab and log out - when you log back in you'll be in Patient Search)

Support "per-image" presentation states. See updated presentation state information in Help

file.

Add "set as default" for new users for work items. Admin users can flag a work item (e.g.

worklist) as the default for new users when they log in the first time.

IHE ATNA support. Updates from the January 2016 connectathon testing

The time-to-first-image is significantly improved for large studies in Nil cache deployments

where :

o the cache is located on a slow/busy network device

o the studies are arriving in Nil though standard Dicom push.

Support for Edit Patient API (see Rev 6 of Nil Integration API Specification)

Launch XDS by document UUID (see Rev 7 of Nil Integration API Specification)

Version 4.0.29.79038

Preset enhancements: Ability to define “Per User” or “Per site” Windowing presets for

compatible modalities. To access this feature, go to Settings->Preferences->Modality

Preferences page then select individual modalities such as CT, PT, etc. from the drop down.

The following preferences previously stored in a browser cookie are now stored in the

database:

• DesktopTouchUi - use touch screen

• UiScalingFactor - scale UI for high resolution screens

• ScalePatientDir - scale patien directory

• UseGrayscaleRendering - render images in grayscale

• AlwaysShowViewerControls - series panel and priors always visible

This means that once a workstation is setup it will always remember the settings, even if the

cookies are lost. This also allows new users of the workstation under a different windows

account or browser to have a configured initial set of preferences.

Mechanism for specifying the login information for multi-tenant sites has been simplified. A

"Site" field has been added to the login form, with support for type-ahead (configurable -

"EnableLoginSiteDiscovery?"). Domain names are automatically populated as soon as the

correct site name is provided.

Non-Dicom data import enhancements: Nil supports automated import and Dicom CDA

encapsulation of non-Dicom data as long as a markup file is supplied providing minimal

patient/study metadata. No transcoding of the non-Dicom data is performed (e.g. AVI to MP4).

See configuration guide 941-07024.

Improved performance for Acuo-direct configuration

http://niltrac.clarontech.com/wiki/EnableLoginSiteDiscovery

Doc #: 971-07094, Rev 1.0


Support for multiple VNA databases.

Extend the url invocation to allow passing additional parameters

Version 4.0.27.78063

Added ability to switch splitting/ordering of series from UI:

For multi-phase series, it is now possible to switch the way a series is split (position vs time). This

can be accomplished via the context menu for multi-dimension series. It is also mapped to the

"num-multiply" key on the keyboard

Add ability to load HP layouts with priors in the background.

When a hanging protocol needs to load priors, Nil will wait for 2 seconds (length of time

configurable via a WaitTimeSpanForPriorLoadMs? configuration setting). If the priors are not

loaded, the anchor study is shown and the viewports with prior studies are displayed a message

"loading priors...." until the priors are available. This applies to Acuo-direct and the adapters

such as wado and mach7 adapters.

Loading time improved for sites for direct access to Acuo VNA configuration: When "streaming" mode is configured, the load time has been significantly improved. Streaming is applicable for 'Core' and "Clinical' configurations. For non-streaming mode (e.g. for "Interpretation" configuration), loading time has been improved approximately by a factor of 2 (in our testing scenario)

Added lock status to Patient Search. For clarity, added separate column for study status (locked, reports) from study selection column.

Anonymization enhancement for zero-ing a patient name

Complete rules for local study worklists and folders Nil 4.0 brings better consistency between Patient Directory (PD) and Patient Search (PS) controls. The PD control is used to browse and perform actions on studies in the local database/cache. Most attributes in the database may be shown as a column in the grid. A common configuration offers column consistency between PS and PD - for the columns representing the same Study attribute, both grids should have the same caption and default configuration (such as size and visibility) as specified in the configuration setting AvailableStudyListColumns. Users may now display columns not specified in this setting via the customization button.

Version: 4.0.27.77745

Collaboration performance improvements in load balancer configuration

Doc #: 971-07094, Rev 1.0


De-identification rules extended: Retain private tag option, Extend the nominal profile with

configurable tags that don't conflict with the attributes in the existing basic profile (e.g. Clinical

Trial tags) and thus maintain compliance with the security profile

Allow toolbar configurability by "group" in Mouse/Keyboard/Toolbar templates configuration

NilFeed - logging enhancements: added additional logging capabilities to NilFeed regarding the

server IP when it loses the server connection; force updating the NilFeed application DNS cache

Added optional license features for tight integrations (Mach 7, Teramedica, Private WADO) and

multi-tenant (see Section 3.1)

Version: 4.0.27.77030

Support Anonymization for DirectLink without the requirement to use WebAPI

added details for de-identification profile: a table to show what mapping rules are applied for a

given profile in the settings page

The key features implemented in Release 4.0 (compared to 3.8) are:

Patient Directory enhancements for departmental worklists and folders:

o Worklists - Created with a query against a data source – i.e., a filtered view

o Folders -- A collection of study instances (e.g. for teaching folder, or “rounds”)

Can be created as “public” folders or worklists, or private.

Batch reading supported through departmental worklists

When launched with more than one study provided on the url, a study selector is presented,

allowing the user to select the study to view

Anonymization

o Customizable sets of confidentiality profiles can be created and saved via a dedicated

Settings page

o A study worklist or work folder can be associated with a confidentiality profile (either

basic or custom), in order to obfuscate patient information in both Patient Directory

and Image Viewer.

o Confidentiality masks can be defined to shutter regions for patient data that is burnt

in an image

o Original data not modified; confidentiality profile can be applied during data

download to create a permanent anonymized copy of the data.

Configurability of toolbar. The toolbar can be configured per user, and per site

XDS support enhancements

Additional filters: blur/sharpen, gamma correction

Mammography CAD display

Launch of third party applications supported

Ophthalmology: workflow enhancements include measurement tools (e.g. cup-disc ratio) and

views specific to EyeCare.

Doc #: 971-07094, Rev 1.0


Support for calibration of a mobile device in accordance with the DICOM GSDF (Grayscale

Standard Display Function) model. Additionally, the reading environment verification feature

has been simplified.

5.2 Warnings The warnings and precautions below are in addition to those provided in the On-line Help file:

When in a collaboration meeting, a user can verify the reading environment only if the "verify

read environment" message is on the screen. Once it's removed or if it's not visible because the

environment has been verified recently, it's not possible for the user to verify the read environment

without stopping the collaboration session. If starting a collaboration session on a tablet, the user is

instructed to verify the read environment prior to starting the collaboration session (Settings->Reading

Environment Verification).

The system administrator shall ensure that when NilRead is used as primary data storage, that the site implements an appropriate backup and recovery procedure of the NilRead database.

Appendix A: DICOM Mpeg4 Functionality

Besides the standard Dicom-image viewing functionality Nil Viewer can also be used to review Dicom and non-Dicom media documents associated with patient study. New in 4.0.46: Nil 4.0.46 brings support for Dicom videos. Nil can handle Dicom video files with the following Transfer Syntaxes:

1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.102 MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 High Profile / Level 4.1 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.103 MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 BD-compatible High Profile / Level 4.1

including SOP Classes: 1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.77.1.1.1 Video Endoscopic Image Storage, modality “ES” 1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.77.1.2.1 Video Microscopic Image Storage, modality

“GM” 1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.77.1.4.1 Video Photographic Image Storage, modality “XC”

Doc #: 971-07094, Rev 1.0


1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.7 Secondary Capture Image Storage (version 4.0.48.xxxxx and later) Video Playback: Nil relies on the HTML5/Flash-supporting browsers for H.264 MPEG4 videos to playback video content inside Nil viewer window. For other video formats (as well as non-Dicom media documents) the original document content is delivered to the client and opened in a native application appropriate for the mime type of the document. Nil supports multi-video playback mode on desktop browsers and single-video playback on mobile browsers. Viewports playing video are decorated with video controls to play/pause/seek video content, mute/unmute/adjust volume, toggle full screen mode. Streaming videos from VNA: Studies found in the Acuo VNA can be seamlessly reviewed in Nil including video playback. Video Storage in Nil: Nil can ingest (NilFeed or zero footprint upload) and store videos as Video Photographic Image Storage (MPEG4 only) or Encapsulated CDA Storage, based the configuration setting. Default - Video Photographic Image Storage. Note: Media Foundation component has to be enabled on the server. Use the Add Roles and Features wizard from the Server Manager. Skip through to Features and select Media Foundation. Known issues:

- No XDS support for streaming videos. Video from an XDS source need to first be copied to Nil storage. Streaming from Acuo XDS to be added in future release

- On mobile devices multi-video playback mode is not supported. This is a limitation of the mobile browser technology.

- Nil installer does not contain codec for video transcoding to H.264 MPEG4 format. Customer may provide their own transcoding solution, encoder path and parameters are exposed through Nil configuration.

- Video playback performance – video streaming is performed from the Nil server, not a dedicated media streaming server.

- in case video playback is heavily used (multiple users playing video files simultaneously) it might impact overall Nil server performance and client viewing experience if infrastructure not dimensioned appropriately.
