Orthanc features

General

Good morning, everyone. I have recently learned of the existence of Orthanc and am trying to understand if it would be useful for my purpose. For academic purposes, I need to create a dataset of ultrasound images: my idea is to connect a device based on a single board computer (like the Jetson Nano) with Ubuntu operating system to the ultrasound scanner. The device should be able to collect all dicom files produced by the sonographer and send them to a cloud automatically. If I install Orthanc on my device, can it be useful to do what I have described? I apologize if the question is trivial. I welcome any suggestions related to my problem.

Thank you.

Hi,

Sure, this is something you can achieve e.g with a small lua script that will be triggered each time a study is received.

Here is a sample that notifies an external web service every time a study is received, you can modify it to download a zip of the study and post it to the external web service.

If you want to forward, e.g to another Orthanc running in the cloud, you can use this type of pre-defined DICOMWeb forwarder.

HTH,

Alain.
