UV 6.0 SP9.0.1 - DICOM Overlay randomly does not display

An issue was introduced in UV 6.0 SP9.0.1 where the DICOM overlay (Green overlay for most users) randomly displays for some users and not for others. At one customer site this issue occurred only with DX studies from a GE Healthcare Optima XR240 modality, however, it is possible that the issue could happen with other study types and from other modalities.

The workaround is to adjust the Zoom factor of the study in question in any direction. Even just adjusting the Zoom factor a fraction will cause the missing DICOM overlay to display.

1) This issue is known issue with dicom tag 6000 which has been fixed with UV6 SP 10 and higher but on CPACS backend and not on IW backend.

2) Interim workaround is to add the annotation markers from UV instead of modality so that those markers will be retained as PS and will be applied on when study is launched


One example: "In our UV, digitally inserted characters (of the modality) are not always visible!

If I enlarge or reduce the picture, the symbol appears!

No letter L on the p.a. thorax when opening the patient! After zooming out, the letter appears.

We noticed that we had to send pictures to the doctor.

Happened quite often! Please park, it is not portable."
