Orthanc aims at providing a simple, yet powerful standalone DICOM server. It
|
|
is designed to improve the DICOM flows in hospitals and to support research
|
|
about the automated analysis of medical images. Orthanc lets its users focus
|
|
on the content of the DICOM files, hiding the complexity of the DICOM format
|
|
and of the DICOM protocol.
|
|
|
|
Orthanc can turn any computer running Windows, Linux, FreeBSD or OS X into a
|
|
DICOM store (in other words, a mini-PACS system). Its architecture is
|
|
lightweight and standalone, meaning that no complex database administration
|
|
is required, nor the installation of third-party dependencies.
|
|
|
|
What makes Orthanc unique is the fact that it provides a RESTful API. Thanks
|
|
to this major feature, it is possible to drive Orthanc from any computer
|
|
language. The DICOM tags of the stored medical images can be downloaded in
|
|
the JSON file format. Furthermore, standard PNG images can be generated
|
|
on-the-fly from the DICOM instances by Orthanc.
|
|
|
|
Orthanc also features a plugin mechanism to add new modules that extends the
|
|
core capabilities of its REST API. A Web viewer, a PostgreSQL database
|
|
back-end, a MySQL database back-end, and a reference implementation of
|
|
DICOMweb are currently freely available as plugins.
