Measurement coordinates conversion

To ensure correct measurement recreation from data, all our measurement related functions and events work or provide 3D coordinates in patient coordinate system. If you need to convert received 3D coordinate to instance 2D coordinate, you can use following function:

function get2DImagePositionFrom3D (position3d) {
    const imagePosition = this.getImagePosition();
    const imageOrientation = this.getImageOrientation();
    const pixelSpacing = this.getPixelSpacing();
    const x = ((position3d[0] - imagePosition[0]) * imageOrientation[0] + (position3d[1] - imagePosition[1]) * imageOrientation[1]
        + (position3d[2] - imagePosition[2]) * imageOrientation[2]) / pixelSpacing.x;
    const y = ((position3d[0] - imagePosition[0]) * imageOrientation[3] + (position3d[1] - imagePosition[1]) * imageOrientation[4]
        + (position3d[2] - imagePosition[2]) * imageOrientation[5]) / pixelSpacing.y;
    return {
        x: x + 0.5,
        y: y + 0.5
    };
}

If you need to convert 2D coordinate back to 3D coordinate, then you can use this function:

function get3DImagePositionFrom2D (position2d) {
    const offsetPosition = {
        x: position2d.x - 0.5,
        y: position2d.y - 0.5
    };
    const imagePosition = this.getImagePosition();
    const imageOrientation = this.getImageOrientation();
    const pixelSpacing = this.getPixelSpacing();
    const x = imagePosition[0] + imageOrientation[0] * offsetPosition.x * pixelSpacing.x
        + imageOrientation[3] * offsetPosition.y * pixelSpacing.y;
    const y = imagePosition[1] + imageOrientation[1] * offsetPosition.x * pixelSpacing.x
        + imageOrientation[4] * offsetPosition.y * pixelSpacing.y;
    const z = imagePosition[2] + imageOrientation[2] * offsetPosition.x * pixelSpacing.x
        + imageOrientation[5] * offsetPosition.y * pixelSpacing.y;
    return [x, y, z];
}

Create virtual series

const callback = ({status, details}) => console.log(status, details);
viewerCommunication.subscribeCreateVirtualSeriesCompletedEvent(callback);
viewerCommunication.createVirtualSeries(operationArgs);

The function requests creating virtual series from provided arguments. Parameters:

operationArgs - Arguments to pass over to virtual series builder.

operationArgs data object example:

const operationArgs = {
    studyUid: '1.3.12.2.1107__STORAGE_ID1',
    fromSeries: [
        '1.3.12.2.1107__5064.0.0.0__STORAGE_ID1',
        '1.3.12.2.1107__5064.0.0.1__STORAGE_ID1'
    ],
    postActions: {
        openIn: 'viewport-container-1-1-1-2'
    }
};

Parameter studyUid is an UID of the study, where new virtual series have to be added. Parameter fromSeries is an array of strings. Each string represents an UID of a series from target study. Parameter postActions is optional. If provided, it is a JSON structure with a field, named openIn. The field is a container ID, where newly created series should be opened up right after creating the series. If parameter is not provided, created series will not be opened up in any viewport.

The callback will receive an object with two fields:

status. This is a string, identifying whether an operation to create virtual series succeeded or failed. There are two possible values here: 'success' or 'error'.
details. In case the operation has failed, it contains a string, describing a reason of failure. In case an operation was successfull, a JSON object will be returned, containing two fields:
studyUid (the UID of the study, where new series have been added)
seriesUid (the UID of new series)

Usage:

Register subscribeCreateVirtualSeriesCompletedEvent callback function.
Call createVirtualSeries function to request creating new virtual series.
Once message is processed, callback function will be triggered with result of operation.

Toggle Create Virtual Series modal dialog

viewerCommunication.toggleVirtualSeriesDialog(actionArgs);

Submits a request to show (or hide) a Create Virtual Series dialog. Parameters:

actionArgs. An arguments to be passed over to the dialog.

actionArgs data object example:

const actionArgs = {
    action: 'show',
    studyUid: '1.3.12.2.1107__STORAGE_ID1',
    fromSeries: [
        '1.3.12.2.1107__5064.0.0.0__STORAGE_ID1',
        '1.3.12.2.1107__5064.0.0.1__STORAGE_ID1'
    ]
};

All parameters are optional. If no parameters have been provided, the application will check if there is any open instance in active viewport, and will open a Create Virtual Series dialog, linked to that instance and that viewport. Parameter action can have two values: 'show' or 'hide'. If parameter is omitted, this is treated as request to show the dialog. Parameter studyUid goes together with parameter fromSeries. Either none of them is provided, or both must be present. The studyUid indicates the study, where new virtual series should be added. The fromSeries indicates what series must be displayed in Create Virtual Series dialog (and all of them will be displayed as pre-selected).

Subscribe to event by event name

const eventName = 'image-position-changed';
const callback = (eventParams) => console.log(eventParams);
viewerCommunication.subscribeEventByName(eventName, actionArgs);

Parameter:
