OrthancToolsJS : A new frontend for Orthanc

[Salim Kanoun]

Dear Orthanc community,

We are pleased to announce our new project to build a new modern, web-based front end for Orthanc, called OrthancToolsJS.

OrthancToolsJS is the successor of Orthanc Tools, the previous JAVA front end, it will implement almost all it's features in a much user friendly interface and additional features.

More than just of front end, this project add an authentication layer and automation of several task in Orthanc.

Today we are releasing a testing version to get community feedback and ideas.

So far we have implemented :

Import of DICOM

Listing Orthanc Content

Anonymization with batch management

Auto Retrieve : Retrieve of DICOM by batch from a PACS

Export with batch management

Delete with batch managemnt

OHIF viewer for vizualization

AET / Peer declaration

Identification Layer with roles and dedicated permissions

We still have in our roadmap :

- DiscProducer robot management (Epson and Primera)

- Pre fetching

- DICOM metadata extraction in database (tag monitoring)

at maybe more (autorouting ...)

The full code is AGPL v3 licenced

The git is : https://github.com/salimkanoun/Orthanc-Tools-JS

A demo server is set here :

http://212.47.232.65/

login and password : admin

Pay Attention :

- Do not upload non anonymized DICOM if I find remaining identifying DICOMs on the testing server I will simply close it and the community will not have anymore a testing environement.

- The demo server is really weak, make only few testing, again I will close it if I see intensive usage of the server.

- For now it is just an alfa release, the software probably suffers of significant bugs, however we wanted to share our work with the community. We expect (hope) to get a stable version in september.

We welcome contributions in the projet, bug report (please use GIT issue tracker), idea for future improvement.

If you need a specific feature we also welcome financial support to help developpement of OrthancToolsJS

Last, I would thank our two students who worked with me for saveral months on this project, Sylvain Berthier and Leo Courderc, and also Sebastien Jodogne and Osimis Team for their kind continuous support on my projects

Best regards,

Interesting.  Are you using React and Bootstrap ?

Have not looked at it that carefully yet, but the OHIF viewer links are not working for me.

Not sure why that is, but some of the .js files are really large.  I get the OHIF initial black window, but nothing after that.

1.  Kind of curious about how you query for resources.  I have a similar tool written in PHP.  It seems that there are some limitations on doing queries using tools/find with Orthanc as opposed to using something like a MySQL database since I dont think you can "ORDER BY" or use something like LIMIT x,y.  I did something similar to what it looks like you did by allowing the user to select the maximum number of results to return for a query (which the REST API allows), and you can process the returned results to sort them or filter them further somehow.  Seems like you can't use an "OR" with tools/find, but issue multiple queries in that case.

2.  Regarding modification and anonymization.  I've looked at that a little, and it looks like when you anonymize (and maybe modify) and existing study using the REST API that it creates a copy of the original study and leaves the original there.  That might actually be desired since it is often unwise to delete something in the medical environment.  Just wondering how you handle that ?  I do have an uploader that can anonymize on-the-fly using dcmtk before the study is sent to Orthanc.  That using a web interface similar to yours where you can drag and drop a folder to upload.  I found a client side script that can actually detect DCM files using the header from the file and not just the file extension, which is a little useful to filter out .exe files and others on the client side if you don't want those.

3.  Regarding the viewer, do you have that running behind a proxy or otherwise have some sort of authentication / access controls set up for that ?  For example, could I just go directly to a viewer line and bypass even logging into the app, or do you use SESSION's for authentication with OHIF and the Tools app running on the same server.  That is still problematic because there are really 3 apps, the Orthanc Tools, the OHIF viewer and Orthanc, although I guess that is mostly DICOM web issue.

Kind of like it though.

Thanks.

Hi stephen,

Yes we are using React and Bootstrap. The frontend is in React and the backend is in NodeJS, the backend deal with orthanc which should not be exposed to the public (but only to our backend). 

Yes it act as a reverse proxy for many resquests comming for the front, for some fuction we add some specific features like authentication or automatition to make sequential (batch processing) request to Orthanc.

The OHIF viewer is broken because these last day we change the authentication mechanisme by replacing sessions to Json Web Token, so I have to pass the token to OHIF to be able to retrieve dicom ressources through our backend. Will fix this.

1.For the ressources query I fully use the tools/find API nothing more.

2. I'm just using the Anonymize and Modify API of Orthanc since DICOM are changed they need to be new dicoms with new UID, that's already done in Orthanc.

3. everything goes through the NodeJS reverse proxy, Orthanc should be closed to all other access except the reverse proxy (in production I will use a DockerCompose the Orthanc server will be referecend only in the orthanc compose cluster and not mounted to the host machine). So Yes there is an authentication mechanisme that are using an internal database and/or a LDAP/AD registery (wip), there is an authentication API that deliver a crytped JsonWebToken (with an expiracy date) that must be resent by the frontend for all futher call in the backend, if you don't have a valid token all HTTP call will be rejected (no mater if you calling data from Orthanc itself, DicomWeb or our custom API). This way the NodeJS backend act as a single backend, and basically the frontend don't even know that the data are orignally comming from Orthanc, it just see our NodeJS server.

Best regards,

Salim

Thanks for the reply.  I download the .zip from GitHub.  I can't run Docker on my iMac becaue it is too old, so I'm running on an UBUNTU VM using docker-compose up.

I get a pretty extensive log in the terminal after executing that:

Is there a way to runthe orthanctoolsJS with that configuration ?

Thanks.

Sorry I didn't updated to release package for a while

download this fresh one :  https://github.com/salimkanoun/Orthanc-Tools-JS/releases/tag/0.3.2 

Uzip it in a directory you have a write permission

Install NodeJS in your computer

Then at the root of the unziped folder : 

npm install

npm start 

In this version the browser should be automatically opened, the 4000 port should respond

Best regards,

Salim

Dear Stephen,

These error do not mention my code except the "require" function to import js file in another file which is more than common.

Could you check your nodeJS version ? We need  a recent version of nodeJS (v12).

The nodejs ecosystem is still a bit immature, there are compatibilty issue across version (event recents ones).

also could you try with the new version : https://github.com/salimkanoun/Orthanc-Tools-JS/releases/tag/0.3.3

I revert back http2 to http1 again http2 support for node js seems immature as well. 

I didn't tried with mac but it works on Linux and Windows so I expect to be working as well in mac.

Thanks.  I had to reconfigure and update my system a bit, but got it working now using the 3.2 version.  I think it is because I had an old version of Node.   Thanks a lot.  I have it running locally on my Mac, so I can play around with it a little.  I use mostly PHP, MySQL, CSS, HTML,JS and jQuery, Bootstrap & and a PHP framework, but I'd like to learn Vue.js, Angular or React, as well as Node.  Not sure which one to look at.  Vue.js is apparently easier to learn, and I really don't know much about Node, but I have pretty decent Javascript skills and experience with MVC frameworks.

Now running Node:  v14.5.0, nvm 0.32.x

Dear All,

We released the pre-release version 0.4.1 of Orthanc Tools JS.

From the inital post we notably add : 

Active Directory connexion support for user identification

CD/DVD Burner with Primera/Epson (beta)

A lot of improvement and debugs (auto retrieve, user roles, export, anon ...)

Hi Salim, is a windows installer? if not, i hope you can develope one.

Thanks!

[Salim Kanoun]

No, 

In the Release of GitHub you will have the distribution, you will juste need to install NodeJS in windows, unzip the distribution and type 2 command in the terminal : "npm install" and "npm start"

I don't have any plan to make a windows installer (I have docker container by the way), but anyone who will want to produce such installer is more than welcome,

Hi Salim,

Just  copied and pasted the previous private conversion via email before and want to discuss publicly here

I asked 

Hi Salim, is it possible that your app is able to manage several orthanc’s’ ?

And your response

Hi it depend what you calling multiples orthanc server.

I Can make a storage of known orthanc server ans being to Switch the frontend to one orthanc to another one. That is possible.

But if your thinking about managind multiple orthanc in the same Time, for exemple to make a dicom quuery make it in multiple orthanc server, no it will be nightmare

My initial intention is just to manage the Orthanc Configuration, such as, Orthanc.json , plugins and scripting (lua and python).  So manually editing, restarting individually Orthanc service in a pool of Orthans is not convenient for teams like devops. If they can have GUI that makes it visually, it would be great. The purpose of dicom query it is not much of my concern. But even in case of querying dicom in a pool Orthanc, I have no idea that it is a nightmare ? I imagine  that the GUI will be have a list of Orthanc, user clicks on a particular Orthanc and starts doing query. Is that possible ?

Thanks,

Chris

A GUI to edit Orthanc.Json is doable, I don't exclude to make one but not now.

However it wont be able to reparameter dynamically your orthanc servers, most parameter need edition of the orthanc.json file in server and orthanc reboot (the latest can be done by API).

So unless orthanc would become flully parametrable through API (and so settings stored in database) you will need to copy the file in the server and so it is impossible to manage N orthanc settings only from a web GUI.

For quering multiple orthanc no it's too messy,  specially the AET query, each Orthanc having N aet you will have N Orthanc each one knowing N AET it will be a nightmare to manage.

I'm newbie, was using your orthanc tool old version and its a life saver. I want to try this version too but how do Install/configure do you have simple step by step guide? thank you.

[Salim Kanoun]

Hi,

The documentation is in "Work In progress"

However you have at least the installation documentation in the current version :

Thank you very much.

[Salim Kanoun]

Dear All,

Here an updated documentation of Orthanc Tools JS

https://github.com/salimkanoun/Orthanc-Tools-JS/blob/master/Documentation/Orthanc-Tools-JS-Documentation.pdf

Best regards,

Dear All,

Just wanted to give some update on Orthanc Tools JS project,

I recieve regularly emails of begginers trying to install OrthancToolsJS, and it's likely to become more difficult to install OrthancToolsJS in the future, so i'm afraid that it will become difficult for begginers to use it, I explain why.

A the origin OrthancToolsJS was designed to be a simple software build on the top of Orthanc to automatize various time consuming DICOMs tasks, more or less what the original JAVA version orthancTools did.

Then we had more and more request from our french working group and this applications included a lot of new services, especially the authentication layer that is using a database and eventually a Active directory connection.

As we wanted this app able to scale (manage huge list of task) we had to include a task manager that itself is using a redis backend for queue management.

After many hesitations, I dedicided to switch paradigm of OrthancToolsJS, and continue to work in the benefit of scalability at the price of portability.

So from a Orthanc "Addon", OrthancToolsJS will shift to an Orthanc "distribution", that will require Orthanc but also a relational database (mysql or postgres) and a redis backend (and who knows maybe other third party apps in the future)

For linux users all of this will be simple to install through docker compose which will be the official way to go.

For Windows users things are more complicated, it is still possible as there is a windows community version of Redis but not an official version. So, i'm relying on the bet that in some months windows will have a full docker support to get this cross plateform deployement mode (Windows 10 seems to bring a much better docker support so there's hope).

If one of you want to maintain a portable version of OrthancToolsJS it's better to fork now.

Also the second way to go is to grab only OrthancToolsJS frontend to connect it directly to Orthanc without intermediate backend. Except for routes brought by OrthancToolsJS automation, all http request from the frontend are following the same API than Orthanc server (in these cases my backend only act as a pure reverse proxy with an authentication JWT middelware), it will need to adapt the authentication system (or remove it) and remove our automations interface components.

So the next version of OrthancToolsJS will be a new full version, with a new deployment process, will try to maintain the documentation update to give you insight or how to deploy it.

Best regards,

Salim

Dear all,

We are preparing the next major release of OrthancToolsJS (will be 0.6.0).

I closed the initial testing server for a new one : 

https://0e44be91-4285-440b-a132-c6580851eed7.pub.instances.scw.cloud/

login / password : admin / admin

The server is now showing the pre-version of 0.6.0, for which we are making the bug hunting,

Best regards,

Salim

[Sébastien Jodogne]

Wow, this looks great! Thanks for your hard work :-) :-)

Sébastien-

[Jorge Vidal]

It looks great! Congratulations for such hard work. I couldn´t find any study using the browser. Do we have to upload them?  I would really like to help in the testing process...

Regards, 

Jorge

[Salim Kanoun]

There is one study in it, it is visible.

(if you try this morning someone has changed the orthanc server settings so the frontend was loosing the orthanc server to reach).

You can upload what you want but only anonymized studies 

[Salim Kanoun]

Hi there,

OrthancToolsJS 0.6.0 is out.

The demo server has now an easier name  : https://orthanctoolsjs.ddns.net/

These next couples of month we will continue to make minor features and focus on stability. 

Best regards,

Salim

[Salim Kanoun]

Hi there,

We released the 0.6.2 version of OrthancToolsJS. (https://github.com/salimkanoun/Orthanc-Tools-JS/releases/tag/0.6.2)

We made a lot of small improvement and bug fixes in this version.

The next milestone will focus on dicom ressource tagging and autorouting.

Best regards,

Salim

[Metab Al]

Hi Salim,

Many thanks for your great efforts.

 I would like to deploy it by utilizing  docker-compose.yml as explained in https://github.com/salimkanoun/Orthanc-Tools-JS/blob/0.4.5/Documentation/Orthanc-Tools-JS-Documentation.pdf

the file "https://github.com/salimkanoun/Orthanc-Tools-JS/blob/master/docker-compose.yml" is not available or maybe outdated.

regards,

Metab

[Salim Kanoun]

No it should work 

I dont understand why you are looking at the 0.4.x version 

Go the the latest version, the docker compose works with it.

The latest version have  docker-compose.yml seems not working. 

I have tried  the one at this link:

https://github.com/salimkanoun/Orthanc-Tools-JS/blob/0.6.2/Documentation/Deployment%20Sample/OrthancToolsJS/docker-compose.yml

[Salim Kanoun]

It does, the testing server is running it, as well as 3 frenchs hospitals and users in italy and brazil.

You should look closer at your install, espacially take account that the deployment sample is using traefik as reverse proxy defined in the other docker compose.

If you are using it in a LAN you can remove the traefik référence and expose your orthanctoolsjs container directly to your Host.

Dig deeper in Docker concepts and deployment and you should figure a way to run it.

Many thanks Salim.

It is working now. 

for those who would like to use docker-compose in a LAN map the ports of OrthancToosJs service to your host.

for the docker-compose.yml example below my host IP : 192.168.50.168 change it accordingly:
