Introducing orthanc: An R package that provides a programmatic interface to Orthanc DICOM Servers

Hi,

I am not sure if it is appropriate for me to share this here, but I wanted to introduce an R package I have been working on the last several weeks/months named orthanc. The package provides a programmatic interface to Orthanc DICOM Servers to support medical imaging workflows for the R language. The package design and functionality was strongly inspired by the popular PyOrthanc package.

I know there may be far fewer R than Python programmers among the set of Orthanc users, but this package has been quite useful for our polyglot research team, which is about 50/50 R and Python users.

I am very open to any feedback on this software.

@jodogne If you have any interest in sharing this package somewhere in your Orthanc documentation to direct potential R users to it, please feel free to do so.

Dear Matthew,

Thanks so much for this great contribution! It is nice to learn that Orthanc is also useful for R users.

I have just indexed your R package in the GitHub repository dedicated to third-party contributions.

Kind Regards,
Sébastien-
