Changelog

Support for secondary volumes in panels

Added support for secondary volumes in panels (i.e. putting a colored PET volume on top of a grayscale CT volume). Using this capability, uploaded a new large PET/CT dataset (PETWB-REP) to DicomTube.

• Additional few bug fixes, most noticably fixing the broken ruler and oval ROI tools in the panels.

Support for 3D RGB color volumes

Added support for 3D RGB color volumes, including 3D processing such as 3D MPR or VRT. Utilizing this new capability, added multiple cases from the Visible Human Project, courtesy of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.

Bug fixes

Minor bug fixes. Breaking change to how search query and options are encoded. Impact will be limited to user history entries that came from the search page; they will no longer remember the search query and options (but otherwise will be functional). It was an unfortunate but necessary change.

DicomTube Arcade

Introducing DicomTube Arcade! Three fast paced games testing your diagnostic radiology skills. Leaderboard for bragging rights!

• Fracture Frenzy: Detect fractures in X-rays
• PE Pursuit: Detect pulmonary embolism on scrollable CT scans
• Aneurysm Arena: Aneurysm detection on scollable MRA images

Bug fixes

Fixed bug with key finding navigation sometimes not going to the correct images.

Migration to TanStack Start

Migrated the entire website from NextJS to TanStack Start for better performance and developer experience on the Cloudflare Workers platform.

Bug fixes

Fixed broken annotation creation/editing (was caused by the recent touch gesture support and associated architecture changes).

Touch gesture support

Minor update to add touch gesture support for mobile devices. You can now use two fingers to zoom and move the images in the DicomTube viewer (by pinching your fingers or moving them respectively).

Improved Search Page

The search page has been completely revamped utilizing the open-source InstantSearch library:

• Realtime search results as you type
• Filtering by imaging modality/body part
• Different sorting options

Typesense Search Engine Integration

We have added Typesense search engine integration to the platform. This will allow for state of the art, faster and more accurate search results utilizing both traditional and semantic searching.

• Autocomplete search bar for cases, showing search results as you type
• Can use more advanced query features natively supported by Typesense (e.g. use '-' to exclude cases that have a particular term for instance 'stroke -cpaisd')
• Paves the way for advanced search features in the future

Premium Subscription Launch

Introducing DicomTube Premium - unlock advanced features to enhance your medical imaging workflow and learning experience.

• Create private cases with 100 GB of secure storage
• Generate secure share tokens to share private cases and playlists with specific individuals
• Priority support for premium subscribers
• All existing free features remain available to everyone

User Profile Pages

All users can now choose to have a user profile page with basic RichText editing capabilities for the contents of those pages.

• Minor addition: Added verified badge next to users who are "verified". Any user may contact us if they are interested in having this badge.

Segmentation Display Support

We have added the capability for DicomTube cases to have color segmentations. Using this ability, we have uploaded a number of 3D anatomy modules as well as a subset of the publicly accessible Total Segmentator dataset of body CT images with anatomical segmentation. Segmentations are very common in publicly available radiology datasets, and we are excited to use these new capabilities to port even more open-access datasets to DicomTube for easy viewing.

DicomTube Launch

We're excited to launch DicomTube - a platform for viewing, sharing, and discussing DICOM medical imaging studies. Built for radiologists, medical students, and healthcare professionals.
