Stone Viewer - Not opening studies on image 1

Hi there,
Is there a way to force Stone viewer to open the study on image 1? Anytime I open a study it opens in the middle of the studies on a random image.

For example, in the attached image, in a study with 84 images, it’s opening on image 43.

It’s not a big deal, just a small annoyance.

Thanks,
Kyle

Hello,

Currently, the Stone Web viewer initially opens the frame at the center of the series. This is especially useful to display 3D volumes such as CT, PET or MRI.

In your case, your series has 84 frames, so Stone opens the “84 / 2 + 1” = 43rd image (the “+ 1” comes from one-based enumeration).

If you have a suggestion to improve this behavior, please let us know.

Hi Sébastien,

So with the ultrasound modality, often the scanning/reading protocol is sequential (Right Ovary, Left Ovary, Endometrium, Uterus etc). Also, the 1st image often contains useful information patient name, type of exam, query X (gallstones, pelvic pain etc)) So when reading the study, to land in the module of the exam is a bit confusing “where am I in this test, what am I looking at etc”.

So for ultrasound at least, it’s useful to start at image 1.

I know it’s just a few clicks to get back to the start but wonder if this was a setting that could be tweaked, that would be great.

Thanks again,
Kyle

Dear Kyle,

The following changeset should meet your requirement:
https://hg.orthanc-server.com/orthanc-stone/rev/33d2ff1aeaae

It will soon be part of forthcoming release 2.4 of the Stone Web viewer.

Kind Regards,

Hi Sébastien, Thank you for your hard work on Stone Web viewer 2.4. I was wondering if a Windows version was ready? I couldn’t find Stone Web viewer 2.4 for windows installer.
Thank you,
Kyle

Hello,

In theory, the new version of the Windows installers should automatically have been uploaded at the following location:
https://www.orthanc-server.com/download-windows.php

Hi Sébastien, This may seem like a stupid question, but to install Stone Viewer 2.5, how do I do that? I currently have Orthanc 1.11.2 and see it shows stone-webviewer 2.3.
Do I just reinstall Orthanc 1.11.2 and inside it has the new version of Stone Viewer?

Thanks,
Kyle

Hello,

Yes, you’ll have to download and reinstall the new version of the Windows installers (version “22.12.0”), that should have landed here:
https://www.orthanc-server.com/download-windows.php

Or, use the newly-released Osimis Docker image:

$ docker run --rm -t -i -e STONE_WEB_VIEWER_PLUGIN_ENABLED=true -e DICOM_WEB_PLUGIN_ENABLED=true -p 8042:8042 -p 4242:4242 osimis/orthanc:22.12.0

Or, use the jodogne/orthanc-plugins Docker image:

$ docker run --rm -t -i -p 8042:8042 -p 4242:4242 jodogne/orthanc-plugins:1.10.1

Regards,

Thank you kindly!

Would enjoy a future configuration file and URL option to specify this item (where to start in a series).

Orthanc is uncommon relative to other PACS systems starting in the middle of a series (was disorientating for quite a while). The new vertical slide bar assists with this possible user confusion.

I could see the benefit of an option to be set in both the configuration file or passed via URL (to override the configuration file) about where to start: beginning, middle, end, 0.25, 0.75, etc.

The percentages have good custom uses cases for certain modalities and anatomies that often have “dead space” at their onset. Some institutions store series sup->inf, some store inf->sup.

URL options always appreciated to override configuration elements for specific instances and/or specific user preferences “on the fly.”

Thank you.
