After PostureRay learns how the images are named, it will automatically set up the patient case when x-rays are sent to PostureRay with the patient information from the x-ray software system as well as “pre-map” them to the correct x-ray assignment. This is one of the most time consuming aspects of importing x-rays on earlier versions of PostureRay. [▶ Video: PostureRay_V24_Dicom_Load (5:09)](https://www.postureanalysis.com/knowledge-base/postureray-version-24/#video-r-fLIZeydEA) Added optional points for digitizing for stitching purposes - LCN: added optional T2 to T10 - LLN: added optional T8 to T11 **Added Stitching variables:** - First step: controls to select which X-ray is behind and which is in front. - Thoracic Scoliosis with modified Fergusson non-scoliosis - AP Cervical with Thoracic Scoliosis with modified Fergusson non-scoliosis - APOM with Thoracic Scoliosis with modified Fergusson non-scoliosis - Thoracic Scoliosis with AP Lumbar - Lateral Cervical with Lateral Lumbar - Stitching Lateral sectionals: if concatenated comments exceed maximum length, truncate the Lat. Fullspine comment to fit. - Stitching with Lateral Lumbar ext./flex. problems fixed. This was sometimes interfering with the Lateral Lumbar Neutral. - Stitching with duplicate scoliosis start, apex or end vertebrae was causing multiple error messages. - On extremely narrow portrait monitors, the left part of the stitching dialog box wasn’t visible **DICOM listen:** listen for DICOMs posted from a PACS system. **DICOM Image Processing:** - The last Method B DICOM loaded in an Evaluation had problems saving touch-ups. - DICOM JPEG2000 header case with “E07F”, “1000” and OW instead of OB - Added apostrophe to DICOM search - Search DICOM: Patient Name and ID tags were much further in the DICOM header for a few DICOMs to be found. - Extract special characters like é, ç, ï from the DICOM header’s Patient Name and permit searching on these characters - DICOM JPEG2000 auto-invert from negative - Split Image button 2.5 times bigger to facilitate it’s use **Quick Draw:** - Lateral Fullspine Quick Draw: results were 0mm and curve missing on reports and Viewbox. - AP Thoracic non QD mixed with AP Lumbar QD caused an error message “Apex must have a value. Reset to first entry. This message wouldn’t go away. - Changes to Lateral Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar and Full calculations to skip all non-QD calculations. **Patient Comparative Report:** - CBP LCN global % change (it was showing the first two segmental analysis values) - When LF or AP Full are very wide vs high, the assessment text was overwriting the X-rays at the top of the page. - added LF stitched **Impression Comparative Report:** - Left Lateral Posture page wasn’t showing if all four postures were present - Right Lateral Posture images weren’t showing if the Back Posture wasn’t present. **Viewbox:** - When we have a scoliosis view, show checkbox to show/hide the centroids (blue Xs) on the Impression lines - Added next to View button, Order Select and Compare radio buttons - Processing of comparisons with Postures and Marking views. Other views not available yet. - Hiding/showing of applicable checkboxes/radio buttons based on displayed view types **SQL Express 2017:** - Installation of SQL Express 2017 with PostureRayNet - Upgrade and conversion of PostureRay from SQL Express 2012 to SQL Express 2017 **General:** - Patient age: Instead of calculating the age with rounding up, for example age 17.6 is 18, we round down so age 17.6 would be 17. - Scoliosis Impression lines: made red actual line like the Patient line - LL ext/flex angle signs were absent. - AP Thoracic and AP Fullspine follow-up X-ray. If saved before finishing digitization, the apex list box button had apices side by side instead of a vertical list and there was an error about drawing actual lines after digitization. This released fixes the problem. - Patient Report: Lateral Fullspine line description had low back instead of Lateral Fullspine. - C0-C1 instability LC, LCE and LCF: calculation of line angle to horizontal difference replaced with law of sines calculation. - Optional setting to export Patient Name, Birth date and X-ray date on X-ray - Reports with optional separate files per view: have continuous page numbering within a report file: - Impression report - Instability report - Comparative impression report - Comparative instability report - Travel Sheet: in some cases 9 X-rays/page had overflowed text in the Results section. - PostureScreen push: initially in Evaluation form, female patients were appearing as male. This was just a setting issue because the data was good. - APOM bending C1-C2 overhang in Impression report summary table: cut-off is 3.0 rounded to one digit, degree changed to mm for < 3.0 mm - E.H.R. export form opened from View Evaluation form or Report form, the AP Full view wasn’t being shown in the list and so couldn’t be exported. - Modified Fergusson case when digitizing started at L4: the LD and Translation were appearing at the same location in the Viewbox overlay. - Evaluation change practitioner: added on View Evaluation form for admin user. - DMX form, step backwards one frame with note below the seconds radio button. - Save DMX Magnification setting between PostureRay sessions. - APOM neutral and bending C2 Axial Rotation direction added to calculations, reports and Viewbox. - Permit loading AP Full with other AP sectionals after the initial load of X-rays. - Annotations: show two decimal digits on measurements. For example 23.15mm. - Select X-rays for view form: Loaded checkbox is no longer displayed. - Patient report scoliosis notes: sectional name is mentioned only in the original sentence instead of also appearing before each vertebra in the paragraph.
