Hi all. I have an incomprehensible problem with the server. I’m using Win\_x86 version 1.3.2 for tests. Now can’t install it on Ubuntu. Everything takes, transmits and shows perfectly. BUT!
I’m using eFilm to work with DICOM images. When I send files to ORTHANC from my CR and than open it on eFilm still look fine. I can see list of all studies, can take images. But when I try print images I see new text line on it.
“IMAGE MAY NOT BE TO SCALE”.
If I sent study from CR to eFilm, I have no this line and this problem.
Can anyone help me? Thanks.

Hello,
Orthanc never modifies the content of a DICOM file it receives. As a consequence, it cannot “break” a DICOM file.
Please get in touch with the professional support of your CR modality or eFilm. You pay them to investigate such issues, notably to explain what this message “IMAGE MAY NOT BE TO SCALE” means.
Regards,
Sébastien-

But if i send study from CR to eFilm i have no this text line. Only after ORTHANC. When i recive image from ORTHANC and try to print it.

Please advise open software for working with DICOM images on Windows and linux and I’ll try to reproduce the problem and notify you. For Linux, I found only the Aeskulap viewer. But this is only a viewer. Thank you.
