The Lookup Search Terms in NBIA Simple Search retrieves the search terms for Ultrasound related criteria from remote nodes.
QC Tool Improvement
The QC Tool now has a check all button to quickly select all items.
Improved Download Manager
Through collaborative work with the members of the Imaging Workspace, the reliability of Download Manager has been improved. If network errors occur during large downloads, Download Manager will retry the files a configurable number of times.
Improved Large Collection Deletion
The deletion of large collections is now performed asynchronously with a message driven bean. This allows the user to perform the deletion and go on to other tasks as the deletion is performed in the background. When the deletion is complete, the user receives an email detailing the aspects of the deletion.
Modality Information in Web Search
The text of the modality is displayed when it is in focus.
Improved Security
NBIA has undergone extensive security scanning and is now protected for various forms of attack such as Cross Site Scripting and Cross Site Request Forgery,
Clinical Trials Processor (CTP) Update
NBIA has been integrated with the latest version of CTP
AntHill Pro 3
