We are working on a project in Tanzania and need help to setup the system.
We are planning to use Orthanc and Ginkgo Cad .

Orthanc 0.7.2
Ginkgo CAD 3.5.0
We have tested that Ginko Cad can access DCM4CHEE
Orthanc explorer is working. We have uploaded DICOM files.

We cant access orthanc with ginkgo cad

Can someone explain the configuration files and what we need to change


Ginko CAD:
Local PACS:
Local AET: HOME
Port: 11113

DICOM Nodes
ID: HOUSE
AET: ORTHANC
HOST: 172.16.1.133
Port: 4042
PDU: 16384
Retrive method: MOVE
Retrive mode: Series
Reuse connection: True


Orthanc.json file
See attached file.

Kind regards

Ulf & Micke

Hi guys,

just a quick answer, try it out, if it does not work, we can discuss it further.

From your config.json file, I assume that your Orthanc DICOM server is
listening on port 4242, so that would be the first thing to change in
Ginkgo's Dicom Nodes settings.

On the server side, you have to add the client information, so Orthanc
knows about it. Under "DicomModalities" in configuration, add the
following line with $THE_IP_OF_GINKGO set to your ip address in double
quotes, e.g. "192.168.1.34":

"ginkgoclient" : ["HOME", $THE_IP_OF_GINKGO, "11113"]

If you plan to add more clients, serparate all but the last entry the
with commas, eg.

"DicomModalities" : {
"ginkgoclient1" : ["HOME", "$THE_IP_OF_GINKGO1", 11113],
"ginkgoclient2" : ["HOME", "$THE_IP_OF_GINKGO2", 11113],
"ginkgoclient3" : ["HOME", "$THE_IP_OF_GINKGO3", 11113]
}

Please refer to the following FAQ entry:

Gink can list all my dicom files on the Orthanc server, but Gink cannot donwload any of them, it shows: 
"Error downloading study:
 Exception in component GIL/PACS:
 Failed: UnableToProcess"
Any help will be appreciated!

Regards.

This problem also happens in MedInria, as it cannot import any dicom files from Orthanc server.
Haven't tried other pacs client yet.

Hello,

Plese could you provide your full Orthanc configuration file, as well as a screenshot of your Ginkgo CADx DICOM configuration? Without this information, it is impossible to reproduce your problem.

Hello,

I have replicated your setup on my localhost, and everything works properly with Orthanc 0.8.0 and Ginkgo CADx version 2.12.0.

Since you experience problems with other PACS clients, I suspect a network problem: Do your firewall and router allow DICOM traffic?

I would recommend you to try and run Orthanc and Ginkgo, both from your localhost.

You are right! My client computer has two netcards and I didnt configure it correctly: both netcards have different ip addresses and gateways, but I had only filled in one ip of them in the orthanc config file...
Now both Ginkgo and Medinria work well as I pulled out one of the two netcards.
Thanks Jodogne :)

Hello Sébastien,

I know this is an old thread, I wonder if you might be able to assist me with a related issue. I am simply trying to get GINKGO to talk to Orthanc, and like the original post'er, it wont work for me, I am attempting the connection on the localhost.

Attached are my actual Orthanc configuration file for the latest version 0.9.3 and the latest GINKGO is also installed.

Any comments appreciated, Just trying to lookup a patient by name, or any connection to Orthanc PACS for that matter.

Hello,

I have just added a FAQ entry to explain how to configure Ginkgo CADx against Orthanc:
