I am exploring the possibility of sending patient data from a Radiology Information System (RIS) created with Oracle Forms using HL7 to Orthanc in order to create a worklist. Additionally, I am looking to retrieve the worklist from an AGFA CR30-X machine and ultimately store the DICOM files on the Orthanc server.
I am curious if this setup is feasible and if anyone has experience or insights on integrating these systems. Any advice, tips, or best practices on how to achieve this integration successfully would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your input and expertise!
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this topic.
This is certainly possible, but you do not provide any technical details about your actual needs, so we cannot provide any technical answer. You will presumably need to hire an integration specialist to configure your specific workflow.
From a technical point of view, most integration scenarios can be covered by using the REST API of Orthanc.
Concerning the HL7 server, we have a sample server in this repo: GitHub - orthanc-team/python-orthanc-tools but you’ll have to dig into the code because we do not have proper documentation right now… and I do not guarantee that we will provide support - consider it as a sample code for your development.
Thank you for sharing this resource! The sample server in the GitHub repository is an interesting starting point. I’ll definitely take a look at the code and see if it’s something I can adapt for my development.
I appreciate the heads-up that there’s not a lot of documentation currently available, and I understand that support may be limited. I’ll see what I can figure out by digging into the code, and I’ll post any questions I have on the relevant forums or communities.
