Hello,

The following post mostly answer your question:  
[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/orthanc-users/oPl1wqVxgK4/Rft4VZuaBwAJ](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/orthanc-users/oPl1wqVxgK4/Rft4VZuaBwAJ)

In your case, first convert your JSON encoded using the DICOMweb convention, into the Orthanc convention:

{  
“00080016” : “1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.12.1”,  
“00100020” : “23444423”,  
…

}

Then, call “/tools/create-dicom” as explained in the other thread.

This process can obviously be automated using a C/C++ plugin:
