Greetings,

I am really new to Orthanc and I want to know if there is a way to enable document uploading into a patient study, or convert the scanned document to a DICOM file to append to the end of the study.

Thank you,

Chad,

There is a way to attach a PDF document, described here:

Advanced features of the REST API

That does work, and I’m using a PHP script to do that for reports. The PDF does display as an embedded PDF in the Osimis Viewer for Orthanc. Not sure how those display in other viewers or workstations.

Thank you so much. I am a complete newb but i will try to see if I can configure this on my server. thanks again

I actually did just check that with HOROS / OSIRIX, and the PDF’s do show up as an image, so they must be wrapped with DICOM.

What language are you using for programming ? If PHP, there is a nice tool for converting CLI curl to PHP. https://incarnate.github.io/curl-to-php/

Probably similar tools for other languages.
