Hi all,

I would like to check the status of DICOM-RT support in Orthanc. I noticed there is dicom-rt branch in bitbucket but it was not updated after 2014.

https://bitbucket.org/sjodogne/orthanc/branch/dicom-rt

Is DICOM-RT supported in main codebase of Orthanc?

Thanks,
Mengda

Hi,

You may actually user Orthanc to store and retrieve Dicom-RT files as any other DICOM files (Orthanc actually does not care about the DICOM file content).

The intention of the DICOM-RT branch was to provide additional services (new API routes) to access specific components of i.e RT-Struct, RT-Plan …

There are no plans to continue the development of this branch in the near future. However, all Dicom RT content may be retrieved as JSON files as usual (http://book.orthanc-server.com/users/rest.html#accessing-the-dicom-fields-of-an-instance-as-a-json-file).

Best regards,

Alain

Dear Mengda,

You should find an interest in the following answer in another post of this forum:

In a nutshell, the support of RT-STRUCT and RT-DOSE has been migrated to the Stone of Orthanc project:
