2020-12-07 - Orthanc 1.8.1 is out!

This maintenance brings a lot of improvements, as can be seen in the release notes:

We kindly acknowledge our industrial partner who sponsored the development of the so-called "smart DICOM C-Echo SCU", that allows to automatically run a test C-Find SCU request after a C-Echo so as to be sure that the remote DICOM modality accepts queries issued by Orthanc.

Another sponsored feature consists of the "--trace-dcmtk" command-line option that provides access to the full DCMTK logs, which is extremely useful if debugging DICOM network connection issues.

The official Docker images "jodogne/orthanc:1.8.1", "jodogne/orthanc-plugins:1.8.1" and "osimis/orthanc:20.12.3" are available. The Windows installers will be released in the following days.

2021-02-25 - Orthanc 1.9.1 is out, together with its Windows installers 21.2.0 by Osimis!

Starting with this release, the "DICOM-as-JSON" attachments are not stored explicitly anymore, in order to improve performance and to provide better consistency if the DICOM dictionary changes. This new version also introduces timeouts on a per-modality and per-peer basis, and features several DICOM-related improvements.

2021-04-23 - Orthanc 1.9.2, PostgreSQL/MySQL plugins 4.0 are out, together with their Windows installers 21.4.0 by Osimis!

Starting with these releases, Orthanc will be compatible with multiple writers/readers sharing the same database. One Orthanc server will also manage several connections to PostgreSQL/MySQL, in order to improve performance by adding concurrency. This new feature necessitated a full rewrite of the database engine, so as to replay transactions in the case of collisions. It should enable hospital-wide VNA scenarios.

You can find additional explanations in the Orthanc Book:
https://book.orthanc-server.com/faq/scalability.html#concurrent-accesses-to-the-db-in-orthanc-1-9-2

The upgrade should be totally transparent. We warmly acknowledge the industrial partner of Osimis who sponsored this large-scale development!

2021-06-11 - Version 3.2 of the Python plugin for Orthanc is available:

The Docker images "jodogne/orthanc-python:1.9.3" and "osimis/orthanc:21.6.0" have also been published and include this new version of the plugin.

This release adds a number of interesting Python primitives from Orthanc SDK 1.8.1 that were not wrapped in Python yet, notably:
- orthanc.CreateDicom() to create a DICOM instance from a JSON file and an image
- orthanc.CreateImageFromBuffer() to create an Orthanc image from a Python image (can be used for interfacing with PIL/Pillow)
- orthanc.DicomInstance.GetInstanceData() to get the raw DICOM file from an instance stored in Orthanc
- orthanc.Image.GetImageBuffer() to get a copy of the memory buffer that corresponds to an Orthanc image
- orthanc.LookupDictionary() to search for a DICOM tag in the dictionary
- orthanc.RegisterFindCallback() to implement a custom C-FIND SCP callback
- orthanc.RegisterMoveCallback() to implement a custom C-MOVE SCP callback
- orthanc.RegisterWorklistCallback() to implement a custom C-FIND SCP callback for worklist

These primitives make easier to interface Orthanc with image analysis libraries coded in Python, or with HL7/FHIR environments. They can also be used to implement DICOM query/retrieve proxies.

The Orthanc Book contains various examples of those new primitives:

2022-04-26 - Support for neuroimaging is coming to Orthanc!

It is my pleasure to announce the release of a new plugin for Orthanc that can be used to very easily convert DICOM series to the NIfTI file format:

This feature can be used both from Orthanc Explorer (by clicking on a single button) or from the REST API of Orthanc (for automation tasks).

This new plugin results from my research work at the UCLouvain university. I take the opportunity to kindly remember that if you want to support my work on Orthanc, it is essential to cite the reference paper about Orthanc, and to involve me as co-author in scientific publications or as collaborator in research projects.

Enjoy,

2022-05-10 - Several new releases are available!

Orthanc 1.11.0 is now available, adding mainly the ability to store more DICOM Tags in the DB which allow great performance improvements in C-Find, DICOMWeb and Rest API tools/find route.  It also come with a new Housekeeper plugin that will update the DB to include these new extra DICOM Tags in resources already stored in Orthanc. Check out the full release notes.

DICOMWeb 1.8 has also been released to benefit from Orthanc 1.11.0 optimization.  Check out the full release notes.

Native Apple M1 processor support has been added in the latest MacOS package.

Note that these optimizations in Orthanc 1.11.0 are a prerequisite for me to finalize a first alpha release of the Orthanc Explorer 2 User Interface which I'll try to release later this week.

All these new versions are bundled in:
- the osimis/orthanc:22.5.1 Docker image
- the Windows installers (32bits and 64bits)

Enjoy and don't forget to support us on OpenCollective !

2022-05-14: first release of OE2 !

Orthanc Explorer 2 plugin 0.2.1 is now available, adding a new User Interface to Orthanc.  

The documentation is available in the Orthanc book.

All these new versions are bundled in:
- the osimis/orthanc:22.5.2 Docker image
- the Windows installers 64bits only

It is enabled by default in all these packages but does not replace the standard Orthanc User Interface.  Once Orthanc is running, the new UI is available at http://localhost:8042/ui/app/.

Source code is available on Github !  You may also use Github for bug reports and feature requests.  Please note that this is still a beta version !

I'll continue working on it in the following weeks; our target is deploy it in a medium size clinic (around 200.000 studies stored in Orthanc).  

Enjoy and don't forget to support us on OpenCollective !
