11 The core of Orthanc can be extended through **plugins**. A plugin
|
|
|
12 takes the form of a shared library (``.DLL`` under Windows, ``.so``
|
|
|
13 under Linux, ``.dylib`` under Apple OS X...). A plugin can do various
|
|
|
14 things, among others:
|
|
|
15
|
|
|
16 * Serving new **Web applications** that have full access to the REST
|
|
|
17 API of Orthanc, which makes easy to handle DICOM images from
|
|
|
18 JavaScript code.
|
|
|
19 * Replacing **the way DICOM images are decoded** (e.g. the official
|
|
|
20 :ref:`Web viewer plugin <webviewer>` introduces the decoding of
|
|
|
21 JPEG2000 images, which is not available in the core of Orthanc).
|
|
|
22 * Replacing the default **database back-end** of Orthanc (that is built
|
|
|
23 upon SQLite) by another (:ref:`PostgreSQL <postgresql>`, MySQL, SQL Server...).
|
|
|
24 * Creating **new REST APIs** on the top of the Orthanc built-in API (as in
|
|
|
25 in the official :ref:`DICOMweb <dicomweb>` plugin).
|
|
|
26 * **Reacting** to the arrival of new DICOM images or other
|
|
|
27 DICOM-related events so as to carry on automated processing.
|
|
25
|
28 * ...
|
|
|
29
|
|
|
30 Developers external to the official Orthanc project are :ref:`invited
|
|
|
31 to contribute <contributing>` by creating third-party plugins.

54 * `DWV Orthanc Plugin
|
|
|
55 <https://github.com/ivmartel/dwv-orthanc-plugin>`__: This plugin by
|
|
|
56 Yves Martelli is based on `dwv
|
|
|
57 <https://github.com/ivmartel/dwv/wiki>`__ and extends Orthanc with a
|
|
|
58 Web viewer of DICOM images.
