Hi,

if I have an orthanc on device number 1, and I want to send every case that receives/uploaded to the second orthanc device automatically
is there a way to do that?
either via API or configurations?
if not, is there a way to tell orthanc/orthanc DB to tell me when a new case is uploaded/received?

Hi Mohammed,

There is not an out of the box method to automatically transfer images to another modality or peer. There is an example of a Lua script here https://book.orthanc-server.com/users/lua.html?highlight=lua#auto-routing-of-dicom-images that can be used to forward images when they are received.

In terms of notifications, you can use a Lua (https://book.orthanc-server.com/users/lua.html?highlight=lua#callbacks-to-react-to-events) or Python (https://book.orthanc-server.com/plugins/python.html?highlight=python#listening-to-changes) script to react to changes. You can also poll the /changes REST api (https://api.orthanc-server.com/#tag/Tracking-changes) to detect changes.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

James

Hi,
I´m using the first option mentioned by James via a very simple LUA script. In my case it works flawlessly. Best regards, Jorge
