🥞 PR Stack


Context

This PR is Part 3 of the ECG GenericViewport stack. It introduces the WaveformRegionOverlayTool for rendering clinical lead badges and region frames, enables calibrated distance/time annotations (ms and mV) on ECG viewports, and updates the interactive ECG example demo with full tool and layout controls.


Changes & Results

  • WaveformRegionOverlayTool:

    • Added new WaveformRegionOverlayTool displaying lead badges (I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, V1V6) and optional bounding frames.
    • Supports both segmented layouts (6x2, 3x4, 3x4+1 via traceRegions) and continuous stacked layouts (12x1).
    • Implements cascading style resolution via Cornerstone's ToolStyle (textBoxFontSize, textBoxColor, textBoxBackground, boxColor, lineWidth).
    • Aligns badges to the top-left of each region cell to prevent overlap with waveform traces.
  • Annotation Tools & Calibration Support:

    • UltrasoundDirectionalTool.ts: Added compatibility for waveform / ECG viewports (ViewportType.ECG, ViewportType.ECG_NEXT, ECGViewport).
    • getCalibratedUnits.ts: Added support for -2 (ms time) and -1 (mV amplitude) in unit mapping and probe variant checks (-2,-1).
    • ecgFromInstance.ts: Updated DICOM waveform calibration provider to export physicalUnitsXDirection: -2 (ms) and physicalDeltaX in milliseconds.
  • **Interactive Example Demo **:

Ms-Mv.Measurement.with.scroll.mp4
Multi-lead.layout.wit.12x1.3x4.layouts.1.mp4

Testing

  1. Run yarn example ecg to launch the ECG demo.
  2. Select different layout presets (12x1, 6x2, 3x4, 3x4+1) from the dropdown and verify lead badges (I, II, aVR, V1V6) are rendered accurately in the top-left of each cell.
  3. Select UltrasoundDirectionalTool (or LengthTool) and draw measurements across ECG waves to verify time is displayed in ms and amplitude in mV.
  4. Press Left / Right arrow keys to scroll through the ECG timeline.
  5. Click "Local file" and upload a .dcm ECG waveform to verify dynamic layout rendering on custom datasets.

The ECG example now uses the generic ECG_NEXT viewport with trace-region layouts, waveform overlays, display-set presentations, calibration updates, visibility controls, reset behavior, local file loading, and keyboard scrolling.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4ce6d

The ECG viewport adds calibrated trace-region layouts and overlays, but unresolved region scaling, lead-coordinate consistency, and continuous-layout frame behavior can make ECG displays or interactions misleading. Local waveform replacement may also leave channel controls stale, so these issues should be resolved before merge.

to build layouts from each trace region rather than using the filtered

worldToCanvas use that region-specific geometry for selection and placement.

Clip the region trace to its bounds.

The region path draws samples without a clip region. A large amplitudeScale or a high-amplitude lead then draws outside [minY, maxY] and crosses into adjacent region frames. Clip to the region rectangle before drawing the trace.

- Line 104: Update canvasToWorld and worldToCanvas to preserve the selected ECG
trace-region identity rather than storing only channelLayout.leadIndex; encode
and resolve the exact region, including duplicate leads such as rhythm lead II.
Use each region’s bounds and timeWindow when converting x coordinates in both
directions so annotations map to the correct samples, and remove the unrelated
positional fallback (including the ?? 0 fallback on channelLayout.leadIndex).

In `@packages/core/src/RenderingEngine/GenericViewport/ECG/ECGViewport.ts`:
- Around line 352-358: Update the view-reference validation around
getFrameOfReferenceUID so references without referencedImageId are accepted only
when their FrameOfReferenceUID matches this viewport’s scoped ECG identifier. Do
not let a missing current image or absent referencedImageId fall through to
unconditional true; preserve the existing hasImageId check for image-specific
references.
- Line 405: Update ecgCalibrationProvider to return an IImageCalibration object
that includes type set to CalibrationTypes.REGION alongside
sequenceOfUltrasoundRegions, and remove the unsafe cast at the calibration
assignment in ECGViewport.

- Around line 256-257: After the local waveform replacement in the
setDisplaySets flow, rebuild the trace checkbox controls from the newly loaded
channel metadata and reset allVisible to its default state. Update the existing
control-construction logic rather than only changing the display set, ensuring
labels and per-lead toggles match the uploaded waveform.

In `@packages/core/src/utilities/ECGUtilities.ts`:
- Around line 371-374: Update computeECGRenderMetrics so channelScale uses the
rendered lead-slot count from each region’s leadIndex span, matching
drawECGTraces rather than counting each region once; preserve
visibleChannels.length when regions are absent, and add a regression test
covering a multi-lead region to verify traces remain within their assigned
slots.
- Around line 511-512: Update the empty-lead fallback in drawECGTraces to use
the current region index rather than always defaulting to lead 0, and apply the
same [regionIndex] fallback in ECGResolvedView.getChannelLayouts so rendering
and coordinate conversion select the same lead.

In `@packages/tools/src/tools/WaveformRegionOverlayTool.ts`:
- Around line 419-420: Update the rendering flow around _renderStackedChannels
so showLabels only controls label rendering, not box rendering. Render boxes
independently for each active channel row using styles.showBoxes and the
existing drawRectByCoordinates path, including when styles.showLabels is false,
while preserving the current label behavior.
