Is there any way to read data from Orthanc without uploading data to it?

Hi, I knew Orthanc can use S3 or other compatible storage to store the DICOM database. It uses SQL db as an indexer then point the data to the storage. I am wondering that how can I use the Orthanc as DICOM server, but can I adjust the attachedfiles table to guide the Orthanc reads data from remote S3 (not the way using S3 as storage then store data by uuid in /68/2e/682e3a70-8d99-4684-9c28-f0b6a0c063ba with the file 682e3a70-8d99-4684-9c28-f0b6a0c063ba). Thanks!

Hi,

I’m not sure I understood the question… Best hint: have a look at the “legacy” value for the “StorageStructure” of the S3 plugin: https://book.orthanc-server.com/plugins/object-storage.html#migration-storage-structure

HTH,
