Send Images to Orthanc PACS

Dear All,

I have installed Orthanc PACS and would like to achieve the following:

  1. Receive images from our different modalities to Orthanc PACS

I have been reading the manuals specifically on query retrieve http://book.orthanc-server.com/faq/query-retrieve.html
I have some clarifications.

In this scenario, Orthanc PACS is acting as “C-Store server (SCP)”. Do I still need to add the modality (xray machine,etc) to the configuration?
If yes, can point me to some sample configuration?

Regards,
Leonardo

As long as your modalities simply perform C-Store, you don’t have to declare them as long as you’ve not explicitly disabled the DicomAlwaysAllowStore option in the configuration file (it’s true by default).

  // Whether the Orthanc SCP allows incoming C-Store requests, even
  // from SCU modalities it does not know about (i.e. that are not
  // listed in the "DicomModalities" option above)
  "DicomAlwaysAllowStore" : true,

Thanks Alain, will try it out.

To perform a C-Move, Orthanc needs to know the destination and it needs to be declared in the list of modalities.
If you use WADO (through the dicom-web plugin), Orthanc will act as an HTTP server and you won’t need to declare anything.
