Flywheel 18.1

March 2024

18.1.0

FEATURES

  • Reader Tasks

    • Tags
      • Allow users to add Tags to Reader Tasks to better manage workflows and status of Tasks
      • Users can View Tags on the Reader Task List View
      • Users can View, Add, and Delete Tags on a Reader Task Detail Screen

  • Gears

    • Gear Input file version checking
      • This optional gear developer feature provides a check that will cause a gear to raise an exception and not proceed with an update if the input file was changed during execution. This will help avoid the situation where a user modifies an input file while it is also being processed by a gear, and the gear then using an out of date input file version to produce output. Race conditions can still occur in rare cases, but this covers a majority of scenarios. This has been added to the gear specification.

    Gear Outputs Limited to 100 Files

    For 18.1 we added a warning message to the log that output number was truncated to 100 and that this job will fail in a future version (19.0). See the gear specification for more details.

    With Flywheel 19.0 these jobs will fail and log log warning message will be captured. Because reliable and stable compute capabilities are very important to our customers, we are committed to rolling out this change in a staged manner to ensure logic is sound in the field and to make sure that users are aware of the change and are able to adapt their workflows to abide by this new limit.

  • BETA - Project Import & Export

    Simple Project Imports can be Launched from the Flywheel Core Web App

    Simple DICOM-only imports from external storages can be launched from within the Flywheel web application. This option is available via the new "Import Data" button from within the "Imports" tab of the "Project" page.

    Imports launched from the Web App currently use default mappings based on DICOM header fields (equivalent to running fw-beta import run -t dicom without custom mapping rules). Flywheel is considering further enhancements to enable more complex imports to be launched from the Web App in the future.

    The Project Import feature is disabled by default while in BETA. To enable these features on your site, contact Flywheel Support.

    • Project Import and Project Export are now tolerant of database restarts.

  • BETA - fw-beta CLI Usability Improvements

    • Both aliases gear ls or gear list may be used for the command to list installed gears.
    • A clear error message is displayed when attempting to run a reference-in-place import using the --storage-config with a storage provider (not allowed).
    • A clear error message when attempting to create a file-system storage using a relative path (absolute paths are required).

    OHIFv3 Viewer is Available in BETA for Read-Only Workflows

    • Option to hide scroll bar
    • Reset viewports to HP when "Reset" button used
    • Flywheel Hierarchy Navigation
