hai,
   i am trying to interface orthanc with vb.net and calling the individual patient data directly from vb.net through orthanc. but in orthanc storage folder the type of saving the data is different. so can you suggest me to change the type of saving the data in orthanc, so that i can call individual patients data from vb.net.

    thank you

Hello,

Please have a look at the following discussion:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/orthanc-users/vcj3q5lPIPw/fZEiSiMzBgAJ

To summarize, you must not try and access directly the database of Orthanc (that is based upon SQLite), as this may result in corruption. The only supported way of accessing the content of an Orthanc server is through its REST API. In vb.net, this is quite easy, as the .NET platform contains standard ways of accessing the REST API of any application.

Please read the Orthanc Book, especially the following two sections:

This is explained in the links I sent earlier:
https://orthanc.chu.ulg.ac.be/book/dicom-guide.html#dicom-identifiers

“In any case, the core engine Orthanc keeps an index of all these DICOM identifiers (PatientID, AccessionNumber, StudyInstanceUID, SeriesInstanceUID and SOPInstanceUID) and is able to quickly maps them to its own internal identifiers. This lookup is implemented by the /tools/lookup URI of the REST API of Orthanc.”

hai,

  thanks for such nice suggestion.

   so far i had established successful communication between remote server through lan, is there any possibilities so that i can establish communication between 2 different places over internet.

       thank you.

Of course, you just have to change the URL to the REST API of the various instances of Orthanc.
