Dear NBIA Users,
 
We are pleased to announce the release of version 4.4 of the National Biomedical Imaging Archive (NBIA), available at http://imaging.nci.nih.gov.Some   This release includes a huge number of improvements to both end user functionality and back end administration tools.  Below is a list of the new features included in this release are:

Create and share custom lists of images

Capability NBIA now has the capability to create a "Shared List", which allows a logged-in user to create a saved list of image series which can be easily shared with colleagues or published in journal articles where he/she wants to link to his/her datafor convenient access to the exact set of data used by the liste creator.  It can be created based on cases in the data basket added to your Data Basket or by uploading a CSV list spreadsheet of the series UIDs for the images.

Capability to search a Shared List, which allows any user (public or logged-in users) to search a shared list and add the list content into the data basket for download.

Improved Quality Control and Reporting

Completely redesigned integrated The QC Tool has been a completely redesigned to improve performance and usability.

Administrative delete function, which allows the curator set one or more image series status as "To be deleted" via redesigned QC tool; and the super curator review the series marked as "To be deleted", and approve the deletion or not.

Direct Link to more information about the image collections

  It now includes the ability to quickly scan image series via the Cine tool as you perform QC as well as a new worklist driven interface to improve productivity.  An administrative deletion function has also been added to make it much easier to clean the system of image submission errors.  This functionality is role based and allows for initial deletion by QC analysts, but allows for an archive administrator to make final approvals to ensure data is never deleted by accident.

In addition to these quality control and image management features the reporting functionality has been improved as well.  Using the Submission Report tool administrators can easily tell when images arrived, which collection they belong to, and how many patients/studies/series/images were submitted.  The report has two seperate views.  The first is an Image based view which allows you to drill down through the identifiers of the images in order to troubleshoot any submission problems.  There is also an Accrual based view which is geared towards easily building reports to show submission statistics.

Better integration with collection metadata

The NBIA search interface now includes tooltips which can be clicked to view a short description of the contents of each image Collection.  Within each tooltip there is also the ability to add links to external resources, such as a wiki or publication site which has even more information and metadata relating to the images. 

Integration with collection description.  The administrator is able to modify the description of the collection with a rich text editor implemented in NBIA.

Redesigned Federated Search

Redesigned A redesigned Remote/Federated search interface has been implemented to discover the remote NBIA nodes automatically.  Provides .  If multiple nodes of NBIA are discovered on caGRID it will display them so you can select which nodes to search.  It also provides the searchable terms of available in each node. The remote Federated search functions is limited to the simple/advanced search only in this releaseis not available through Dynamic Search in this release.

 Fixes to Dynamic Search

Some minor fixes were applied to the Dynamic Search functionality.  Dynamic Search allows users to search all fields of the NBIA data model.  This includes the ability to query over XX different DICOM tags.
