11 Obtaining binaries
|
|
|
12 ------------------
|
|
|
13
|
|
|
14 To obtain the Orthanc binaries, you have several possibilities:
|
|
|
15
|
|
|
16 * :ref:`Compile Orthanc by yourself <compiling>`.
|
|
|
17 * `Download pre-compiled packages <http://www.orthanc-server.com/download.php>`__.

22 Opening Orthanc Explorer
|
|
|
23 ------------------------
|
|
|
24
|
|
|
25 The most straightforward way to use Orthanc consists in opening
|
|
|
26 **Orthanc Explorer**, the embedded administrative interface of
|
|
|
27 Orthanc, with a Web browser. Once Orthanc is running, open the
|
|
|
28 following URL: http://localhost:8042/app/explorer.html. Please note
|
|
|
29 that:
|
|
|
30
|
|
|
31 * The port number 8042 depends on your :ref:`configuration
|
|
|
32 <configuration>`.
|
|
|
33 * Orthanc Explorer does not work with Microsoft Internet
|
|
|
34 Explorer. Please use Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Apple Safari,
|
|
|
35 or `any WebKit-based Web browser <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebKit>`__.

38 Uploading DICOM files
|
|
|
39 ---------------------
|
|
|
40
|
|
|
41 The Orthanc Explorer interface contains a user-friendly page to upload
|
|
|
42 DICOM files. You can reach the upload page at
|
|
|
43 http://localhost:8042/app/explorer.html#upload. Then, you can drag and
|
|
|
44 drop your DICOM files and click on the Upload button.
|
|
|
45
|
|
|
46 You can `watch this video tutorial
|
|
|
47 <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dOcXGMlcFo&hd=1>`__ that shows how
|
|
|
48 to upload files to Orthanc through Orthanc Explorer.
|
|
|
49
|
|
|
50
|
|
|
51 Uploading through the DICOM protocol
|
|
|
52 ------------------------------------
|
|
|
53
|
|
|
54 Once Orthanc is up and running, any imaging modality can send
|
|
|
55 instances to Orthanc through the DICOM protocol (with the C-Store
|
|
|
56 command).
|
|
|
57
|
|
|
58 You can use the standard command-line tool ``storescu`` from the
|
|
|
59 `DCMTK software <http://dicom.offis.de/dcmtk.php.en>`__ to
|
|
|
60 manually send DICOM images to Orthanc, for instance::
|
|
|
61
|
|
|
62 $ storescu -aec ORTHANC localhost 4242 *.dcm
|
|
|
63
|
|
|
64 will send all the files with ".dcm" extension to the instance of
|
|
|
65 Orthanc that is running on the ``localhost``, whose application entity
|
|
|
66 title (AET) is ``ORTHANC``, and whose DICOM port is
|
|
|
67 ``4242``. Obviously, all these parameters depend on your
|
|
|
68 :ref:`configuration <configuration>`. Please check the :ref:`FAQ
|
|
|
69 <dicom>` if you encounter any problem.
