AWS deployment using CDK - Can't test image upload

I’ve used the project at GitHub - aws-samples/orthanc-cdk-deployment to deploy to our AWS environment, and then tweaked it for our own uses cases.

Orthanc itself seems to be running and we can access the UI and upload test DCM files through there, but when I try and use the Dicom Validation Tool I get a “Failed to make association” error.

I’m trying to connect to the given cloudfront.net url, on the 4242 port.

I am also running the container locally and can upload images as expected.

Has anybody used this successfully?

Hello,

The DICOM protocol (port 4242 of Orthanc) is generally blocked by firewalls, as it is mainly used inside an intranet. For cloud-based deployments, you should use the REST API of Orthanc (port 8042 of Orthanc). The REST API is working, as you have been able to upload a DICOM file using the Web-based interface.

Regards,
Sébastien-
