If images are not displayed in iQ-4VIEW, the issue is often related to the automatic pre-generation feature. This feature prepares image data in advance for faster viewing, but in some cases it may interfere with image loading.
To resolve the issue, navigate to:
SETTINGS → System → iQ-4VIEW
and disable the option for automatic pre-generation. This adjustment can improve image rendering behavior in DICOM viewing workflows and resolve loading issues in diagnostic imaging environments.

This behavior can occur on newer laptops and mobile workstations when the iQ-VIEW license is linked to a specific LAN or WLAN hardware fingerprint. Some operating systems completely disable one network adapter when switching between wired and wireless connections instead of leaving the adapter in an idle state. As a result, iQ-VIEW can no longer detect the original hardware fingerprint used during license activation, causing the license to appear invalid. In such cases, using a stable network configuration or requesting an alternative licensing setup may help prevent license validation issues.

If the iQ-VIEW CD/DVD burning function does not detect a disc, the issue is typically related to an incorrect or incompatible CD/DVD drive selection. In some cases, the selected drive may not support the inserted media type or may not be configured correctly within the Medium Creator settings. Verify that the correct drive is selected under “Medium” and ensure that compatible writable media is inserted. This functionality is commonly used for exporting DICOM studies, medical images, and reports to portable media for patient transfer or archiving purposes.

If the iQ-VIEW service cannot be started, it is recommended to first review the iQ-VIEW log files to identify the underlying issue. In many cases, the problem occurs because the default DICOM communication port (port 104) is already being used by another application or service running on the same system. Since port 104 is commonly used for PACS and DICOM communication, port conflicts can prevent iQ-VIEW services from initializing correctly. Checking firewall settings, active services, and DICOM network configurations can help resolve the issue.

A CSRF Protector error typically indicates a session validation or security token issue in the iQ-WEB web application. In many cases, this can be resolved by clearing the browser cache and cookies and then reloading the page.
If the issue persists, the CSRF protection module can be disabled via the Windows Registry at:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IMAGE Information Systems Ltd.\iQ-WEBX
by setting the value CSRF to false.
Important security note: Disabling CSRF protection is only recommended in secure internal network environments. It should never be used on internet-facing systems, as it reduces protection against cross-site request forgery attacks in web-based medical applications.

This error typically occurs when the iQ-WEBX WADO service license has expired. WADO (Web Access to DICOM Objects) is a core component used for retrieving and displaying medical images via web browser.
To resolve the issue, the WADO license must be renewed. Alternatively, the expired license file wado.lic can be removed from the following directory:
C:\Program Files\iQ-WEBX\PACS\php
After correcting the license state, the system should regain full study retrieval functionality in EasyWEB. WADO licensing is essential for web-based DICOM image streaming and browser-based radiology workflows.

Performance issues in iQ-WEB are often related to database configuration rather than the application itself. On heavily utilized systems, a common bottleneck is the MySQL configuration parameter innodb_buffer_pool_size, which is defined in the my.ini file (usually located under C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server <version>).
By default, this value is often set to 128MB, which is insufficient for larger medical imaging environments. Increasing the innodb_buffer_pool_size to 4GB or higher (depending on available system RAM) can significantly improve database performance, query speed, and overall responsiveness of the iQ-WEB PACS web viewer. This optimization is especially important in high-volume radiology environments with frequent DICOM study retrieval.

Important: When editing my.ini, the value must be entered using MySQL’s shorthand suffix – for example innodb_buffer_pool_size=4G. Do not use “GB” (e.g. 4GB); MySQL will not recognize this format, and the setting may be silently ignored or prevent the service from starting.

DICOMReader:

When working with large DICOM datasets, it is strongly recommended to transfer data in smaller batches rather than in a single large import. Batch processing improves stability, makes progress easier to monitor, and allows partial recovery in case of errors.
In medical imaging environments, especially during data migration or PACS import processes, batch-based transfer reduces system load and minimizes the risk of failed imports.

WADO:

A SourceGuardian Loader error in iQ-WEBX WADO typically indicates an invalid or expired license. WADO (Web Access to DICOM Objects) is responsible for streaming and displaying DICOM images in a web browser.
To resolve this issue, the license must be renewed. This can be done by providing the MAC address of the active network adapter for reactivation. Alternatively, removing the wado.lic file from the installation directory can resolve license conflicts and restore system functionality. After correction, the web-based DICOM viewing services should work normally again.
