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 of the new features included in this release are:
- Capability to create a Shared List, which allows a logged-in user to create a saved list of images which can be easily shared with colleagues or published in journal articles where he/she wants to link to his/her data. It can be created based on cases either using data basket content or uploading a CSV file that contains image series instance UIDs to
- A Dynamic Search capability, which allows users to construct queries against additional DICOM tags related to collections, patients, studies, image series, and images.
- A Verify Submission Tool, an administration tool which allows site administrators to generate multiple historical reports, including reports on image submissions for a certain date range.
- Enhancements to the GUI installer, which allows users to install different components (Web App, Grid service, and CTP) on different physical systems.
Detailed release notes can be found here. The features and screenshots of enhancements planned for the next release (4.4) will be demonstrated at the next user group meeting, currently scheduled for the end of October 2009.
For groups interested in installing NBIA 4.3 locally, the full installation package as well as an upgrade installer and associated documentation are available at our distribution site: https://gforge.nci.nih.gov/frs/?group_id=312.
