Medfilm & Orthanc

Is someone using Medfilm with Orthanc?
I installed Medfilm on an ipad2 running IOS 9.3. I can browse images stored in Orthanc (version 1.5.6) but Medfilm can’t receive the actual images to display them.
I have 2 errors that may cause the problem:

  1. I get the error "Peer aborted Association (or never connected) from Orthanc at the end of C-Find connection from Medfilm

  2. I can’t C-Echo Medfilm from Orthanc

Here is attached the differences in logs from a C-Find call from Radiant (working) and Medfilm (not working)

Do you have an idea on what’s wrong?
Thanks, Merence

Hello Merence,

As Medfilm is a freeware (but not free and open-source software), I fear the following FAQ is an answer to your question:

I hope you’ll find a solution by contacting Medfilm’s support, please share their answer!

Note that the following post suggests that Medfilm can be interfaced with Orthanc using WADO:

Hello Sébastien.

Thanks for the clarification, Medfilm not being open-source is of course a limitation.
I have contacted Medfilm, hopefully I will get a solution that I will share.

Hello Sébastien.

Finalement le problème était que medfilm support C-GET mais pas C-MOVE.

Quand peut on espérer avoir C-GET dans Orthanc? C-MOVE oblige à ce qu’on ajoute la liste des clients (host, AET, port), ce qui est une limitation dans mon cas de digitalisation de la radiographie en Afrique. Les images sont lues par des médecins non radiologues (généralistes ou spécialistes) qui veulent utiliser des PC de bureaux (adresses IP dynamiques). Ca marche avec dcm4chee qui support C-GET mais j’aimerais garder Orthanc qui est plus simple et moins gourmand.

Bien à toi,
Mérence

Hello Merence,

The DICOM C-GET support is one of the features that are pending on our roadmap:

If you or another company want to sponsor the development, please consider buying professional development services from Osimis in order to get the feature implemented faster:
