20. Third Party Tools
The following tools are developed by third parties. NVIDIA is not responsible for design or maintenance of these tools. The tools are mentioned below in the hope that Clara Application developers find them useful to design, review and debug their medical imaging applications.
20.1.1.Overview
Description from the tool website “Orthanc aims at providing a simple, yet powerful standalone DICOM server. It is designed to improve the DICOM flows in hospitals and to support research about the automated analysis of medical images. Orthanc lets its users focus on the content of the DICOM files, hiding the complexity of the DICOM format and of the DICOM protocol.
Orthanc provides a RESTful API. The DICOM tags of the stored medical images can be downloaded in the JSON file format. Furthermore, standard PNG images can be generated on-the-fly from the DICOM instances by Orthanc.
Orthanc also features a plugin mechanism to add new modules that extends the core capabilities of its REST API. A Web viewer, a PostgreSQL database back-end, a MySQL database back-end, and a reference implementation of DICOMweb are currently freely available as plugins.”
