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 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 lets its users focus on the content of the DICOM files, hiding
|
|
the complexity of the DICOM format and of the DICOM protocol.
