Abstract :
Is this paper, the Orthanc open-source software is introduced. Orthanc is a lightweight, yet powerful standalone DICOM store for healthcare and medical research. Multiple instances of Orthanc can easily be deployed in the hospital network or even in the same computer, which simplifies the interconnection between the DICOM modalities and the data management of medical images. Orthanc is unique with respect to the fact that it provides a modern RESTful API: Orthanc can be driven from any computer language to automate clinical processes. Finally, Orthanc comes bundled with an embedded Web interface that allows the end-users to browse and interact with the content of the DICOM store.
