Weasis 3.5.4 query directly Orthanc DICOMWeb

I added a new command in Weasis 3.5.4-rc to query DICOMWeb services.

By doing some tests on the different DICOMWeb servers, I notice 2 problems with Orthanc:

  • Series Thumbnail not implemented (It is an optional feature with Retrieve but it would be nice to have it)
  • Cannot retrieve with the header “Accept: multipart/related;type=application/dicom;transfer-syntax=" only “Accept: multipart/related;type=application/dicom;” works
    As Weasis contains all the DICOM decoders, it would more efficient to get directly the DICOM files with the stored transfer syntax (server don’t have to uncompress the images and downloading will be faster with compressed images). This should possible with "transfer-syntax=
    ” according to the DICOM standard.
    However, I manage to download some images by changing the accept parameters:

The command for weasis:

$dicom:rs --url “https://demo.orthanc-server.com/dicom-web” -r “patientID=5Yp0E” --accept-ext=“;”

Launching with weasis protocol (URL encoded)
weasis://%24dicom%3Ars%20–url%20%22https%3A%2F%2Fdemo.orthanc-server.com%2Fdicom-web%22%20-r%20%22patientID%3D5Yp0E%22%20–accept-ext%3D%22%3B%22

Hello,

Thanks for your feedback!

The “series thumbnail” feature (aka. “/studies/…/series/…/rendered” URI) is implemented in the mainline of the DICOMweb plugin by the following commit:
https://bitbucket.org/sjodogne/orthanc-dicomweb/commits/6074e7e39b58274a216fb8a5f1b3e8a628e84beb

Similarly, the “Accept: multipart/related;type=application/dicom;transfer-syntax=*” header is now accepted in the mainline:
https://bitbucket.org/sjodogne/orthanc-dicomweb/commits/b9edca31124502473f0b0192a3e3c2330bf18a59

More context about the second topic is available in the following thread:

HTH,

Sébastien-

Thanks for your quick reply. I'll wait for the next release.
