How to manage many DICOM Client PC

Dear Sébastien Jodogne

Question.

Even from anonymous client dicom viewer
Is there a setting method that can Q / R without adding to the json file?

There are many client PCs in university hospitals.
Set IP address, AE title, and Port to Json file one by one
Adding work is almost impossible.

Hello,

The DICOM protocol typically works over a star-shaped network, where the central node (the PACS or VNA such as Orthanc) must know all the modalities it is connected to in order to be able to send them the medical images as a response to the DICOM C-MOVE command:

This is a limitation of the DICOM protocol, not of Orthanc. If this is not acceptable to you, you can:

Deploy a teleradiology interface, which allows users to manually download the images. Check out the Web viewer plugins (https://book.orthanc-server.com/plugins.html#index-of-the-official-plugins), the Orthanc Explorer interface (https://book.orthanc-server.com/users/cookbook.html#opening-orthanc-explorer), and the possibility of creating a higher-level applications (https://book.orthanc-server.com/faq/improving-interface.html).
Fund the development of DICOM C-GET support in Orthanc, if this is supported by your client (https://groups.google.com/d/msg/orthanc-users/nF8l3S8OrWs/QJVyyI4UCAAJ).
Use a viewer that is compatible with DICOMweb (https://book.orthanc-server.com/plugins/dicomweb.html).

HTH,

Dear Sébastien Jodogne

Thank you for your reply! We used DCM4CHEE as PACS software before. With DCM4CHEE, DICOM communication is possible if the PORT number is the same without specifying the client AE and IP address. If you have specific proposals for funding Orthanc, We a would like to help.

Hello,

This means that you were indeed using DICOM C-GET.

I thank you much for your help regarding funding… I’m not in charge of this aspects of things, so please get in touch with Osimis using the “Orthanc Pro” form:

Kind Regards,
