Connecting dcm4chee-web to a data web viewer

[ivmartel]

Hi,
I'm looking for information on how to connect a data web viewer to the dcm4chee web interface. I would like to have a similar integration as the one of Weasis, the user doing his query in the dcm4chee web interface and being able to launch the data viewer from the default links on the Patient, Study or Series line. This viewer would be set in the JMX console under the WebviewerName. What files do I need to create/modify in order to do this?
Thanks,
Yves

Hi,
Still there looking for a solution. The viewer I'm talking about can be found here: https://github.com/ivmartel/dwv, and demos here: http://ivmartel.github.io/dwv/.
The story is the same, the user browses patients using the dcm4chee web interface and once at the patient level, he is given the option to view the image using this custom viewer. Any ideas on how to do this? Do I need to use connectors as Weasis does?
Best,
Yves

Have you contacted Suresh from the Oviyam2 project?

The interaction I'm looking for is the same as the one shown on this snapshot of Weasis: http://www.dcm4che.org/confluence/download/attachments/16121882/screen1b.png

Hello,

There is another possibility to integrate a web viewer with a PACS:

1.- You can install weasis-pacs-connector (more information at the end of this page). That will allow you to do queries to your PACS. It is a bit more complicated, but the good news is that you will be able to query any PACS, not only dcm4che2.

2.- Your web viewer asks the connector about information for a given patient, study, etc, just as indicated here.

3.- Your web application has a form to allow the user to introduce the patient id, then asks the connector, and finally has to process the returned XML. After having done that, you will have all the necessary information to obtain the images (either jpeg or dicom) via WADO.

It is more complicated than just integrating with the dcm4che2 web interface but you will have additional advantages.

You can see the final result here (in our case, instead of using weasis-pacs-connector we developed our own gateway, a sort of cfind-pacs-connector).

It is still at a very early stage, but it works.

Edit: When I said dcm4che2, I wanted to say dcm4chee

Thanks for your help,

I finally managed to do it as you said, using the weasis-pacs-connector. I put all the instructions there: https://github.com/ivmartel/dwv/wiki/Pacs-support#dcm4chee.
No need for a form, just click the "Open Web Viewer" icon and it launches the viewer with the specific data. I need to have a look at how to handle multiple studies/series.

Best,
Yves
