@Jay_Liu: Question about WADO image retrieval in OHIF.
Does OHIF support this WADO method?
• GET {s}/studies/{study}/series/{series} Retrieve entire series
Currently, it fires a request for every instance. For background pre-fetching, it might be less resource intensive (connection setup/teardown on client & server side) to retrieve series (instead of instances) for not-in-view series that are being prefetched.
@Bill_Wallace: No, it doesn’t currently support retrieval that way - we have tried it, but it ends up being non-responsive in terms of the GUI
@Jay_Liu: Why would it lockup the UI though? I am thinking that OHIF doesn’t have to load every series in its entirety. Only the background series that are not yet being viewed.
Imaging a study of 15 series. 4 of which are being shown in a hanging protocol. The other 11 series aren’t being viewed yet. What if we have a hybrid approach of 4 series with 1 request per image, and 11 requests with entire series.?
Is there a branch that I can look at with this experiment?
