The NBIA team is pleased to announce the release of version 6.4 of the National Biomedical Imaging Archive (NBIA). This release provides the following features and enhancements:
- Integrated User Authorization Toolkit
- Replacement of JBoss with Tomcat
- Improved QC Workflow tags
- Integrated REST API
- Sorting for Download Manager
- caGrid code cleanup
- Java 8 update
- Manage Shared List API
Integrated User Authorization Toolkit
The CSM/UPT toolkit dependency has been removed from NBIA and has been replaced with an integrated user authorization tool. This has the following benefits:
- Greatly simplifies installation by no longer requiring the installation and configuration of UPT.
- Allows access to user authorization directly from within the portal.
CTP
In order to help improve DICOM submission, CTP has been upgraded to the latest version.
Search Improvements
Simple search has been updated to provide searching on manufacturer and baseline +x. The any and all selection has been created for modality and pull-down menus have been implemented to save space.
Submitting Searches from External Web Pages
The release allows the creation of URLs that will automatically select a given collection in the simple search page when submitted. See the NBIA Developer Guide for details.
Removal of Saved Queries
The release allows the removal of legacy saved queries by the administrator, preventing unnecessary overnight processing.
Oviyam Viewer at the Series Level in QC tool
The release opens the Oviyam Viewer at the series level in the QC tool so that curators can concentrate on that series. Performance of the viewer has been greatly enhanced by caching CSM calls.
Documentation and Support
Detailed release notes and a user's guide is available.
