How to send patient and appointment data into Orthanc MWL Server

General

I am new to DICOM standards.

We have a requirement where we need to push patient and appointment information (ORM/SIU) from a scheduling application to a SonoScape X-Ray machine so that we can avoid manual patient data entry every time in the X-Ray machine.

But I think it is not possible to push an HL7 message directly into the SonoScape X-ray machine (the modality). Please correct me.

Therefore, we intend to integrate the Orthanc MWL server into the system. And we will configure the modality/machine to query from the Orthanc MSQL server.

So, the question is, how do we send patient and appointment data into the Orthanc MWL server? Any sample input data will be appreciated. We have the Mirth Connect engine ready.

Hi,

There is documentation regarding how the Orthanc Sample Worklist Plugin works here - Sample Modality Worklists plugin — Orthanc Book documentation

In short, if you want to use the Orthanc Worklist Plugin, receiving and storing worklists is up to you to create suitable “wl” dicom files in the correct location. Sample Modality Worklists plugin — Orthanc Book documentation

HTH.
