Tools and features wishlist

I am a RadiaANT user BETA since it's start.
I am a paediatrc cardiologist doing cardiac MRs.
The features in the latest versions are awesome and better that some
workstations included softwares.
I still find some tolls not available. Is there a wishlist/asking list that we can ask or suggest?
My wishlist/asking list would be.....
1. A free hand drawing tool to measure the area / dimensions
2. export of MIP/3D reconstructions to movie/avi/mp4 etc (it's such a waste to have produced such beautiful 3D reconstructions but unable to export it out, while using a screen-recording the software to "capture" the video....
3. Ventricular stack/volume in systole/diastole area --> to calculate the volumes and ejection fraction/mass (coming from a cardiac point of view, from free MacOS software, eg HOROS/Osirix pluins)
4. Flow plugins to calculate flows
5.
6.....and many more request

I am sure RadiANT team will do better if not on par with those expensive post processing softwares in the market.

Thanks

Wooikok, thank you for your kind words and suggestions! All feature suggestions are noted and placed in our internal to-do list. Some of them make it to the release versions sooner, but others can take years. That's why we always ask our users for a lot of patience ;-)

My wish would be:

1. make better structurized side list of patients and examinations... I mean to minimize/delete patient or/and pictures from sidelist. Now is growing and growing up, and it`s diffucult to find patient to the end. I must restart RadiAnt to make a list shorter, unnecessary... Maybe when you prepare 10 CT or MR it`s not a problem, but 50 reumathology RTG are really long list to see.
2. Make a possibility to accept incoming examinations as default option. Every time when I restart to make a list shorter, must I check unnecessary accept incoming exams.
3. Possibility a harware key to make more flexible license for "travelling" radiologist... Extra price, of course, but if balanced, could be high valuable argument to buy it! I`m first...
4. Possibility to change colors pattern from gray/black/brown to more individual... is it so huge problem?
5. Curved MPR... it could be nice to have better possibilitie to visualize f.ex. scoliotic columna or take a better look in angio...

6. When downloading it could be nice to see how much is done, and what series is waiting for download. Of course, if choosing to not automatically download it could be seen all series to take down, but why not seen when automatically all series choosed?

Hmm, is anybody here?

Mariusz, thank you for your suggestions and sorry about the delay - it's been a (semi-)vacation time for us.

1. You can quickly find a patient by pressing F4 and typing part of the name: https://www.radiantviewer.com/dicom-viewer-manual/view_multiple_series.htm

2. It's already possible, just make a change in the options.xml file: https://www.radiantviewer.com/dicom-viewer-manual/options_xml.htm

<loading>
<acceptpushed>0</acceptpushed> <!-- accept and display studies pushed from PACS locations (0 - disabled, 1 - enabled) -->
</loading>

3. No plans currently.
4. We'll think about it.
5. We actually have a prototype, but no release date is set yet.
6. You can show the progress of PACS downloads: Ctrl + L

Hey there
I´m quite new to Ct an use it as veterinarian. Since I use Radiant it is much more simple to screen my CT´s.
The one thing, quite handy to use, is the 3D MPR.
I would like to suggest here, are 3 things:
1) It is very nice to be able to rotate all axes independently and therefor to have more Otions to correct small positioning- irregaulartities.
2) I would recommend to put 3 small windows on the left side of the monitor an give the possibility to increase one specific to a larger Window on the right side.
like in this example. The Generic viewer in my CT can do both things and it is very conveniant.
3) I´m missing Curved MPR as many others here ;)

But I bought Radianttoday, because of it´s fantastic feature - great job Radiant-guy´s

Here is a link to an video. This Viewer is close to the generic one, which comes with my CT. Around 4.30 min Yo can see the idea, which I mentioned above.

@The VET

Thank you for choosing RadiAnt and your suggestions!
You can rearrange your view so that you have two small viewports on the left side in the 3D MPR; just grab the vertical splitter between viewports and move it to the left.
