Writing Orthanc plugins in Python

Dear Orthanc community,

It is my pleasure to inform you that, thanks to the support of our commercial partner Osimis, the first version of the Python plugin for Orthanc is now available.

Thanks to this plugin, you can very easily create Python scripts that extend the Orthanc server. More information is available in our blog post:
https://www.orthanc-server.com/static.php?page=blog#python

You can find detailed documentation as part of the Orthanc Book:
https://book.orthanc-server.com/plugins/python.html

This plugin can be of great help to anyone wishing to automate her imaging workflow, to design/train new machine learning algorithms, or to deploy AI systems directly in clinical setups. Given the huge need for medical imaging in order to cope with COVID-19, we hope this contribution will prove to be helpful in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.

Kind Regards,
Sébastien-

Dear Sebastien,

Thank you so much for this news. We have waited for the Python plugin for a long time, especially in this situation with Covid-19.

Best regards,
Thien Le

Thanks! Great news!

Hello,

You can use Python’s introspection in order to discover the available features of the “orthanc” module. I have just added a sample in the Orthanc Book:
https://book.orthanc-server.com/plugins/python.html#inspecting-the-available-api

Note that the reference for the full SDK in C (upon which the Python API is based) is available online:
http://sdk.orthanc-server.com/

HTH,
