PACS software iQ-WEB 8.0: Next generation of medical image communication
We are pleased to present a major functional upgrade of our PACS software iQ-WEB. With the freshly released version 8.0, we have implemented several completely new features to ensure significantly simpler workflows, more security and better user experience for clinics, referring physicians and patients.
What’s new in iQ-WEB 8.0?
- Improved Split/Merge feature
The split and merge feature helps to easily separate or combine studies, series or images that have been accidentally mixed up, ensuring improved data quality and clean patient records. This tool has been entirely redesigned and now offers a better visual user experience for an even faster workflow.
- Shorter WADO links
iQ-WEB 8.0 provides shorter user-friendly WADO links that are easier to manage, e.g., to integrate into reports, to print and scan as QR codes that have become more compact.
New WADO link:
https://<domain>/xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
Old WADO link:
- WADO links manager
The new WADO links manager in iQ-WEB provides you with an overview and management of all created WADO links. The overview holds information such as the link creator, creation time, and expiration date, improving traceability, access control, and security. From now on, administrators can, for example, extend the validity of existing WADO links or change the viewer they should be opened in.
- Easier modification of DICOM metadata
The new Modify window allows authorized users to review and edit DICOM metadata of patient, studies, series and images in iQ-WEB. Its interface features a guided workflow with change tracking, confirmation dialogs, and contextual help.
- Customizable print page
The print page for the generation of QR codes now ensures better usability and customization of content and branding while maintaining DICOM compliance, readability and layout consistency.
- STAT priority feature
This feature enables users to flag studies as high priority, ensuring urgent examinations can be identified at a glance. This helps to ensure that they are dealt with promptly, reducing delays in diagnosis and improving patient safety.
- Redesigned login and two-factor authentication (2FA)
The login page of iQ-WEB comes with a new and clear design featuring our PARATUS group logo and the current version number. If enabled, the redesigned two-factor authentication enhances system security and improves data protection.
- Security updates
This release supports the latest versions of Apache, MySQL and PHP for improved cyber-security of the application.
