Flywheel Core 19.0

August 2024

19.0.0

DEPRECATIONS

FEATURES

Bulk Import & Upload

The new Bulk Import feature is released out of BETA and enabled for all Flywheel customers.

Included with Bulk Import is a new web uploader which enables users to upload and import any supported type of file (not only DICOM) into a Flywheel project from their local machine. The new web uploader also supports uploading of very large files.

Refer to the Bulk Import & Upload documentation for more details.

Viewer

• Initially display middle slice when loading images in the V3 viewer.
• Synchronize rotation and flip from active viewport to inactive viewports with coplanar display sets.
• Custom JsonLogic validations for question on draft/submit.
• Generate SR reports for freehand and fragmented open-freehand annotations, and support for loading the SR report.
• Migrate open freehand ROI tool on OHIF V3.

Data Management

• Introduce new functionally-equivalent exhaustive parameter for instantiating the Flywheel SDK, to replace the deprecated root parameter. A future major version of the Flywheel SDK (20.0.0) will return an error if root is used.

Gears & Compute

• GPU Compute for Gears is now available for AWS sites.
  • Enhancement to Flywheel compute making an NVIDIA GPU available to gears designed to leverage GPUs.
  • Allows gears to leverage GPU compute for AI use cases such as Inference, Image preprocessing and Training/Fine Tuning using the popular AI frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow.
  • The latest NVIDIA driver will be installed on the gear compute node, ensuring capability with the latest NVIDIA CUDA Runtimes and GPUs.
  • Once configured, users can add a gear tag (eg. 'gpu') when they launch the gear and the job will be routed to a compute with a GPU.
  • Contact Flywheel support for more information on configuring the GPU compute.

FIXES

Bulk Export

• Fixed an issue with Bulk Export where exporting large projects could fail due to the export service running out of temporary disk space.
• Fixed an issue with Bulk Export where exporting large projects could fail due to the export service running out of memory.

Bulk Import

• Fixed an issue with the (BETA) Import "Review Conflicts" page where the Project tab navigation links could not be used.
• Fixed an issue with the "Review Conflicts" page for Bulk Imports where the total count of conflicts would not change after some conflicts were resolved.
• Revised the grammar and phrasing of the conflict reasons on the "Review Conflicts" page for Bulk Imports so they are easier to read.

Data Management

• Resolved issue where deleting projects from the Web UI was not possible for non-Validated Instance configurations.
• Resolved issue where large projects with many project-level files affects performance of Search.
• Resolved issue where multiple file versions can appear as two files with the same name in same acquisition.
• Resolved issue causing some custom info field names with an underscore in path to not be available in type-ahead suggestions (Search & Data Views).
• Resolved an issue with Multiprovider sites where gear-rule-triggered gears that use the SDK could not upload files to Flywheel database with the error flywheel.rest.ApiException: (409) Reason: No storage provider selection matched.

External Storages

• Fixed an issue with "External Storages" where the "Group ID" and "User ID" fields would incorrectly appear empty when editing an existing File System type storage.

Flywheel Notebooks

• Disabling the JupyterLab Workspace on a project now stops all running JupyterLab servers to ensure control over compute usage.

Gears & Compute

• Resolved issue where gear upload errors were not ending the gear run or being reported as an error.
• Resolved issue with compute configuration setting failing during ongoing testing.
• Improved subnet selection process for sites that require multiple subnets for their compute infrastructure, addressing the issue of job failures due to lack of available subnet.
• Site admins can once again do bulk updates on the Jobs Log page. This includes updating priority, cancelling, or retrying jobs.
• Improved memory efficiency of the HPC Client file output uploads to Flywheel, which addresses out-of-memory errors on HPC nodes.

Ingest (All)

• Fixed an issue with fw ingest where the ingest job would fail when attempting to create an Acquisition container with a label longer than 128 characters.

Ingest Cluster

• Fixed an issue with fw ingest using the --cluster option introduced in version 18.2.3, which caused multiple simultaneous ingests to the same project to occasionally fail due to a race condition.
• Fixed an issue with fw ingest using the --cluster option where the ingest jobs would fail unexpectedly without an error message.
• Fixed an issue with fw ingest template when using the --detect-duplicates and --cluster options where the ingest job would fail with an error saying MultipleResultsFound: Multiple rows were found for one().

Reader Tasks

• Fixed issue causing a "Problems saving" error when user attempts to save ROI annotations in PNG data with non reader task environment.

19.0.1

FIXES

Gears & Compute

• Fixed an issue where SDK Gears triggered from a Gear Rule configured to use a Role will fail with permission error when the SDK makes requests to the Flywheel API.

Viewer

• Fixed an issue where data in RGB color format was not correctly displayed in the V3 viewer.
• Added WideFieldOphthalmicPhotographyStereographicProjectionImageStorage to the list of supported SOP Class UIDs

19.0.2

FIXES

Data Management

• Resolved issue where Smart Copy operations was failing without copying all expected data when using a file.classification include or exclude filter.

Ingest

• Fixed an issue with ingest using the --detect-duplicates and --copy-duplicates options where in rare circumstances the sidecar project attempted to be creating using the wrong name (multiple suffixes).

19.0.3

FIXES

Gears & Compute

• Improved gear compute resilience to network issues and increased visibility to the issue in the gear log.

19.0.4

FIXES

Core

• Resolved a database error deploying new Flywheel version 19.0 sites.
