 Category:  OTHER
 ========
 Description:
 ===========
 This patch addresses several VistARad problems reported by the sites.
 When a study has multiple image series and only one of them is shown in
 the viewer window at load time, an attempt to visualize another image
 series from the study may produce an unsorted sequence of images. If a
 study has the total image size of about 2.8GB, VistARad fails to load it
 on Windows 7 x64, even though it has access to 4GB of address space on
 this platform.  On certain images, measurements or annotations created
 using VistARad will disappear if the mouse buttons are not held down.
 Also, the elliptical tool is displaying erroneous information when using
 the Hounsfield unit option.
 Note:  All sites running VistA Imaging 3.0 must install the KIDS portion
 of this patch.  At sites that have implemented VistARad, installation of
 both the KIDS and the client software is required. The MAG*3.0*153 KIDS
 is backward compatible with the MAG*3.0*152, MAG*3.0*133 and the
 MAG*3.0*120 client software.  Installation of the client software may be
 phased in according to each site's needs.

 New Service Requests (NSRs):
 ===========================
 There are no new service requests addressed in this patch.
 Patient Safety Issues (PSIs):
 ============================
 Issue 4 below (the elliptical tool sometimes displays erroneous
 information when using the Hounsfield unit option) is a potential PSI
 (PSPO00003163).
 Defect Tracking System Ticket(s) & Overview:
 1.  Remedy Ticket INC000000622962 (Defect 194689): Pet CTs not Displaying
 in Correct Order
 ==========================================================================
 Problem:
 It is not unusual for study images to be subdivided into separate
 series.  This is often done according to image modality types.  For
 example, a Computed Tomography (CT)/Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
 scan may have a CT image series and a PET image series.  If the current
 hanging protocol loads only one image series, the user may want to
 visualize a second image series by manually placing it in a viewer
 window.  In this case, the images may appear in the order different from
 the sorting order of the hanging protocol.  This happens because image
 series are sorted only at load time.
 Resolution:
 The code was modified so that the image series are also sorted when they
 are placed in the viewer window.
 2.  Remedy Ticket INC000000993396 (Defect 194688) :Only First Image of
 Fluoroscopy Study is Viewable
 ==========================================================================
 Problem:
 When VistARad detects that a study is too big to fit into available
 memory, it prompts the user to split it into separate image stacks that
 can be loaded and purged separately.  This functionality, however, does
 not work for studies with multi-frame images.
 Resolution:
 Code was modified to update the assessment of available memory to produce
 a better approximation of its size.
 3.  CA Service Desk Manager (SDM) Ticket I6975956FY16 (Defect 277979):
 VistARad Measurements Disappear
 ==========================================================================
 Problem:
 When images with Group 6000 overlays are viewed in VistARad, measurements
 or annotations created using VistARad will disappear if the mouse buttons
 are not held down.
 Resolution:
 The problem happened because of a conflict between annotation rendering
 and new overlay functionality.  Overlays were disabled and enabled as the
 user interacted with the program.  This affected the way annotations and
 measurements were rendered.  The code was modified to synchronize the
 rendering order of the overlays, annotations, and measurements.
 4.  Remedy Ticket INC000001226929 (Defect:  294798): Elliptical Tool
 Displaying Erroneous Information when Using Hounsfield Unit Option
 ==========================================================================
 Problem:
 On rare occasions, CT scanners are displaying values that are out of
 range for average values (AVs) and standard deviations (SDs).  There can
 be an erroneous reading when measuring small objects, typically
 surrounded by tissue of a much different density, when using the
 elliptical tool for selecting the Region of Interest (ROI) for the
 Hounsfield unit option.
 Resolution:
 The code was modified to remove the elliptical tool for the Hounsfield
 unit option.
 Test Sites:
 ==========
 The following sites are test sites for this patch:
   Fayetteville, NC VA Medical Center
   Charleston VA Medical Center
   Martinsburg VA Medical Center
 Software and Documentation Retrieval Instructions:
 =================================================
 Software being released as a host file and/or documentation describing
 the new functionality introduced by this patch is available.
 The preferred method is to retrieve files from
 download.vista.domain.ext.  This transmits the files from the first
 available server.  Sites may also elect to retrieve files directly from a
 specific server.
 Sites may retrieve the software and/or documentation directly using
 Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) from the ANONYMOUS.SOFTWARE
 directory at the following OI Field Offices:
 Albany: domain.ext
 Hines:  domain.ext
 Salt Lake City: domain.ext
 Documentation can also be found on the VA Software Documentation Library
