Over the past few months, we’ve been making a lot of changes to CC Workstation. We’ll be sharing these changes with you all in our upcoming release. Some feature highlights in v0.95:
Much faster image rendering
Bilinear interpolation
A redesigned Explorer panel (formerly the “Dashboard”)
C-STORE SCU
Text overlay
Dockable workspace tabs
Context menu support
Much improved stability
These are some of the new visible features. Equally important are the significant changes that have been made under the hood, including:
A completely overhauled component architecture
Usage of a lightweight, open source database known as SQLite
And of course, all of our developer documentation will be updated to reflect the new changes. Anyway, we anticipate that we’ll be able to release...

It’s been a while since we’ve updated the content on our site, so we thought it was about time. Check out the many new links, including a completely revised About Us page and descriptions of all our Creations (we don’t like to use the word “product” if we can help it). Enjoy!

Is there a business case for sinking resources into maintaining the Linux version on a regular basis? We’re now finding that there’s so much to do that working on the Windows version of the ClearCanvas Workstation is taking up all of our time already. The possible approaches are to (1) sync up the Linux distribution every month or so, which would take up resources regularly that could otherwise be devoted to working on the Windows version, or (2) wait until there’s actual real demand for a Linux version to sink in resources to do a port.
I’d like to ask the community, then, would you have a use for a Linux version of ClearCanvas Workstation? How would you use it? Please comment here, or post in the forums.
Thanks.

Just a word of thanks to all of you who came by our booth at SCAR the past three days. We’re grateful for the opportunities we’ve had to talk with you about what we’re doing with open source in healthcare informatics. With the release of the source code and documentation for Workstation 0.9, we hope that we can begin building a community of users, developers and testers. We’re well aware that its usability, stability, performance and feature set must be improved before it’s viable in a clinical context. And we want you to be a part of that. We want to hear about what’s good, what’s okay, and what’s downright bad. We want developers to experiment by writing plugins, testers to find bugs and users to test for usability. We want you to feel the same sense of ownership as we do. We invite you to join us in building an industrial-strength PACS viewer that can be extended on your terms and is freely accessible to all!

If you’re planning on attending SCAR 2006 in Austin this week, be sure to come by Booth 443. We’ll be handing out free CDs of ClearCanvas Workstation 0.9, complete with source code and plugin development guide. We’ll also be demonstrating a Linux version (yes, Linux!) of Workstation as well. By exhibiting at SCAR, we hope to start building an open source community that will move CC Workstation towards being a full-featured, high quality, easy-to-use PACS viewer, that also happens to be free and thus accessible to all.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION! As you can see, we have made some changes to the website. Things are still in a bit of disarray as the “renos” are still underway. The previous design we had looked awesome, with nice graphical and layout touches that really captured the ClearCanas ethos. Unfortunately, since it was mainly graphics-based, it would have been hard to maintain and integrate features like a blog and forum. We took the plunge and redesigned the site to use mostly CSS and php. Hope you’ll find it nearly as pleasing to the eye, and just as useful for finding what you need.
Well, we’re off to prepare for our impending trip to Austin, TX.
See you at SCAR!
