Using Orthanc for image submission over the web

General

Is it possible to let others import images into our Orthanc server over the web?

One of our doctors is doing research and would like an easy way for veterinarians to submit Dicom images preferably from a website. I was thinking I could setup an orthanc server with a public facing IP in our DMZ, and then send the images it receives to our production PACs.

I see lots of documentation on the web viewer but I haven’t found much on sending images to or importing images into Orthanc from the web.

Hello,

As soon as you have your Orthanc deployed on a machine with an access from the web, you can use Orthanc Explorer 2 and manage the permissions to allow upload only (see GitHub - orthanc-team/orthanc-auth-service: Web service to run next to orthanc to handle sharing of studies).
If you want something more simple, you can just deploy Orthanc with a lua (or Python) script to forbid other routes than upload (Server-side scripting with Lua — Orthanc Book documentation).

Regards,
