Type of file when sending to other modality

Hello people.

I’m working with Orthanc and we want to send images (stored in Orthanc) to another modality. In particular: we are working with Mirth Connect so we can send images from Orthanc to other DICOM servers (via Mirth).

My question is: Is it possible to see what files in specific are being sent while using the “Send to DICOM modality” option in the Orthanc Explorer web interface (in a log file or else) ??

This is due to the received files, in Mirth, are being parsed as .dat and not as .dcm (as it should have been done).

When we send .dcm images to another Orthanc instance, I think they are received as .dcm because they are already being showed in Orthanc Explorer as usual (just like any .dcm file uploaded vía Orthanc Explorer or API REST).

I’ve seen other posts but none of the have helped very much (with this in particular).

Thanks in advance.
Regards !!

Hi José,

If you start Orthanc in verbose mode “–verbose” option, you’ll see in the logs which files are being read before being sent.

Hi Alain !!

Thank you for your response.

Just to store this, to everyone that will face the same issue: Orthanc sends the .dcm images of a study to another Orthanc modality using, as filename of the file to send, the index that was assigned by the indexer that is being used in Orthanc.

Kind regards !!José L. Gallardo P.
