2021-06-11 - Version 3.2 of the Python plugin for Orthanc is available:
https://www.orthanc-server.com/browse.php?path=/plugin-python
The Docker images “jodogne/orthanc-python:1.9.3” and “osimis/orthanc:21.6.0” have also been published and include this new version of the plugin.
This release adds a number of interesting Python primitives from Orthanc SDK 1.8.1 that were not wrapped in Python yet, notably:
orthanc.CreateDicom() to create a DICOM instance from a JSON file and an image
orthanc.CreateImageFromBuffer() to create an Orthanc image from a Python image (can be used for interfacing with PIL/Pillow)
orthanc.DicomInstance.GetInstanceData() to get the raw DICOM file from an instance stored in Orthanc
orthanc.Image.GetImageBuffer() to get a copy of the memory buffer that corresponds to an Orthanc image
orthanc.LookupDictionary() to search for a DICOM tag in the dictionary
orthanc.RegisterFindCallback() to implement a custom C-FIND SCP callback
orthanc.RegisterMoveCallback() to implement a custom C-MOVE SCP callback
orthanc.RegisterWorklistCallback() to implement a custom C-FIND SCP callback for worklist
These primitives make easier to interface Orthanc with image analysis libraries coded in Python, or with HL7/FHIR environments. They can also be used to implement DICOM query/retrieve proxies.
The Orthanc Book contains various examples of those new primitives:
2021-06-14 - Version 1.3 of the GDCM plugin for Orthanc is now available:
https://book.orthanc-server.com/plugins/gdcm.html
This maintenance release prevents possible changing SOP class UID from “MR Image Storage” to “Enhanced MR Image Storage” during ingest transcoding.
2021-06-24 - Orthanc 1.9.4 is out, together with its associated Windows installers 21.6.1 by Osimis!
This new version contains a lot of improvements, notably:
On-the-file generation of ZIP archives in stream mode (no temporary file is generated anymore).
Basic anonymization profile was upgraded to version 2021b of the DICOM standard.
Full support of hierarchical relationships for UID tags during anonymization.
Compatibility with DICONDE.
New routes in order to handle sets of DICOM instances as a whole for querying, anonymization, modification and removal (“bulk” routes).

Hello,
I have a small question.
As far I can see, today there are available Windows installers and Docker images for Linux-based OS. Does Docker images are capable to run over Windows Server? Is there any kind of support in this direction?
Thanks

Hello,
I personally don’t use proprietary software, and notably not Microsoft Windows. However, here is the link for your Docker-related question:

The following instructions should also work on Microsoft Windows:
