Troubleshooting: ML, LM, and XCCL Comparative Review Modes do not work

Issue

The ML, LM, or XCCL Comparative Review Mode I have selected does not work.

Details

In versions prior to IMPAX 6.5, the lateral views (ML, LM, and XCCL) were mapped to different views. IMPAX 6.5 provides support for the lateral views and if mappings (in the Source Manager) have been applied to the views, they will not work.

For example, the following mapping maps the ML R-10224) and LM R-10228) views so IMPAX thinks they are normal CC views. The XCCL (R-1024A) view is mapped to be an MLO view:

getdicomstring(0x00200062)+'/'+getdicomsequence(0x00540220, 'T', 'T', select(index(getdicomstring(0x80100), 
'R-10224',  'R-10228', 'R-10230', 'R-10244', 'R-102D0', 'R-102CF', 'Y-X1770', 'Y-X1771', 'R-1024A', 'R-1024B', 
getdicomstring(0x80100)), 'MLO', 'MLO', 'MLO', 'MLO', 'MLO', 'CC', 'CC', 'CC', 'CC', 'CC', getdicomstring(0x80100)))

Solution

In the Source Manager of the Administration Tools, modify your mappings to remove any references to the ML, LM, and XCCL views. For more details refer to "Customizing field mappings to extract information from images" (topic number 8966) in the Administration Tools component of the IMPAX 6.5.1 Server Knowledge Base.

For the previous example, you would need to modify the mapping to remove the references to ML, LM, and XCCL, along with their mapped views. This causes the other additional views to stack with their corresponding CC and MLO views (R-10230=LMO, R-10244=FB, R-102D0=SIO, R-102CF=XCC, Y-X1770 and R-1024A=XCCL, Y-X1771 and R-R-1024B=XCCM). The ML, LM, and XCCL CRM views should now work properly.

getdicomstring(0x00200062)+'/'+getdicomsequence(0x00540220, 'T', 'T', select(index(getdicomstring(0x80100), 
'R-10230', 'R-10244', 'R-102D0', 'R-102CF', 'Y-X1770', 'Y-X1771', 'R-1024B', getdicomstring(0x80100)), 
'MLO', 'MLO', 'MLO', 'CC', 'CC', 'CC', 'CC', getdicomstring(0x80100)))
