I have been trying to configure **Weasis** as the default study viewer in **Orthanc** , but I have been unsuccessful despite multiple attempts. My goal is to **load DICOM images in Weasis from Orthanc locally** , not remotely.
#### What I’ve Tried:
- Configuring **Orthanc DICOMweb** settings.
- Adding **Weasis Web Node** and setting HTTP headers.
- Attempting to create a **DICOMweb server** in Orthanc Explorer (but it does not appear as expected).
#### Issue:
When I enter the following URL:
```auto
weasis://weasis-pacs/?dicom-wado=http://localhost:8042/dicom-web/&studyUID=1.2.826.0.1.3680043.8.1055.1.20111102150758591.92402465.76095170
```
Weasis **opens successfully** , but the **DICOM images do not load**.
#### Additional Information:
- I followed the official **Weasis remote loading documentation** , which works as expected: [Weasis Protocol Documentation](https://weasis.org/en/getting-started/weasis-protocol/).
- However, I am unable to make it work **locally** from Orthanc.
If anyone has successfully set up Weasis as the study viewer for Orthanc (loading DICOM files), please share your configuration steps or guidance. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

> Hi all! I made it! Working Weasis thru DICOM-Web $cat /etc/orthanc/dicomweb.json { /\*\* The following options control the configuration of the Orthanc plugin adding support of WADO and DICOMweb. \*\*/ “DicomWeb” : { “Enable” : true, // Whether DICOMweb support is enabled “Root” : “/dicom-web/”, // Root URI of the DICOMweb API (for QIDO-RS, STOW-RS and WADO-RS) “EnableWado” : true, // Whether WADO-URI (aka. WADO) support is enabled “WadoRoot” : “/wado”, // Root URI of …
as for me - bad idea give access to Orthanc directly. It’s a normal usercase when docs launch configured Weasis from their workplace and make a minimal search (patient id, date) for giving images.
