What DICOM viewer is compatible with Orthanc?

Note

The viewer that is the easiest to use with Orthanc is most probably the Stone Web viewer.

Basically, any viewer that supports DICOM query/retrieve should be compatible with Orthanc.

Because the Orthanc project is focused on the promotion of free software for medical imaging, we do not publish the list of proprietary DICOM viewers that are compatible with Orthanc. Here is a list of free and open-source viewers that are known to be compatible with Orthanc (do not hesitate to warn us about other compatible FOSS):

• Open Health Imaging Foundation (OHIF), for which an official Orthanc plugin is available.

• Kitware’s VolView, for which an official Orthanc plugin is available.

• Horos.

• Gingko CADx (a configuration guide is available).

• 3D Slicer.

• medInria.

• Aeskulap.

• Weasis (through the DICOM web plugin). The Orthanc Users discussion group contains a reportedly working configuration.

• Oviyam (instructions are available in the forum).

Make also sure to check out the following extensions to Orthanc:

• Stone Web viewer plugin (advanced version of the Orthanc Web viewer).

• Orthanc Web viewer plugin.

• Osimis Web viewer plugin (deprecated, but provides compatibility with Web browsers that do not support WebAssembly).

• ImageJ extension.

• Stone of Orthanc.

• dwv-orthanc-plugin by Yves Martelli, that embeds dwv.

Very importantly, Marco Barnig independently keeps track of a list of Mobile DICOM Viewers that are compatible with Orthanc. The Orthanc project is very grateful to Marco for this great contribution.
