901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	12 An "Orthanc peer" is another instance of Orthanc, possibly running on
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	13 a remote computer.
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	14
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	15 Contrarily to a "modality", it is possible to communicate with a peer
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	16 through the HTTP/HTTPS protocol (i.e. through the REST API of
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	17 Orthanc), and not through the DICOM protocol. This implies a much
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	18 easier configuration: It is only required to know the URL, the
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	19 username and the password to communicate with an Orthanc peer. This
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	20 contrasts with DICOM query/retrieve, that is quite complex and that
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	21 involves a lot of pitfalls (cf. the FAQ entry about :ref:`troubleshooting
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	22 DICOM communications <dicom>`) that can be bypassed if using HTTP.
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	23
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	24 Furthermore, as HTTP(S) communications are generally not blocked by
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	25 firewalls (contrarily to the DICOM protocol that is inherently an
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	26 Intranet protocol and that often requires the setup of VPN tunnels),
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	27 it is much easier to setup communications of medical images through

901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	36 Because of its focus on low-end computers, Orthanc implements **disk
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	37 space recycling**: The patient that has been stored for the longest
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	38 time inside Orthanc can be automatically deleted when the disk space
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	39 used by Orthanc grows above a threshold, or when the number of stored
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	40 patients grows above a threshold. This feature enables the automated
278 9bf644571511 fix doc wrt recycling order amazy parents: 224 diff changeset	41 control of the disk space dedicated to Orthanc. Note that each time
9bf644571511 fix doc wrt recycling order amazy parents: 224 diff changeset	42 a new instance is received for an existing patient, the patient will
9bf644571511 fix doc wrt recycling order amazy parents: 224 diff changeset	43 be marked as the most recent one in the recycling order.

901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	45 Recycling is controlled by the ``MaximumStorageSize`` and the
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	46 ``MaximumPatientCount`` options in the :ref:`Orthanc configuration

901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	50 It is possible to prevent important data from being automatically
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	51 recycled. This mechanism is called protection. Each patient can be
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	52 individually protected against recycling by using the
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	53 ``Unprotected/Protected`` switch that is available from Orthanc
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	54 Explorer.
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	55
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	56 Note that protection is only available at the patient level. It
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	57 protects all the studies/series/instances of the patient against
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	58 recycling. The rationale is that we think it is important to keep
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	59 available all the data related to one patient. Unwillingly losing a
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	60 study/series that is part of the same patient might lead to a loss in
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	61 consistency with respect to the medical history of this patient.

871 ab39093b898f MaximumStorageMode Alain Mazy <am@osimis.io> parents: 839 diff changeset	63 Starting with version 1.11.2, Orthanc also implements another rejection
ab39093b898f MaximumStorageMode Alain Mazy <am@osimis.io> parents: 839 diff changeset	64 behaviour when the ``MaximumStorageSize`` or ``MaximumPatientCount`` is
ab39093b898f MaximumStorageMode Alain Mazy <am@osimis.io> parents: 839 diff changeset	65 reached. In this case, patients are not recycled but Orthanc rejects new incoming
ab39093b898f MaximumStorageMode Alain Mazy <am@osimis.io> parents: 839 diff changeset	66 data. Check the ``MaximumStorageMode`` option in the :ref:`Orthanc configuration

901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	72 -----------
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	73
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	74 If your disk space is limited, besides :ref:`recycling`, you should
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	75 also consider using disk space compression. When compression is
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	76 enabled, Orthanc compresses the incoming DICOM instances on-the-fly
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	77 before writing them to the filesystem, using `zlib
25 669ea65ba7fb fix links Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 0 diff changeset	78 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zlib>`_. This is useful, because the
0 901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	79 images are often stored as raw, uncompressed arrays in DICOM
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	80 instances: The size of a typical DICOM instance can hopefully be
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	81 divided by a factor 2 through lossless compression. This compression
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	82 process is transparent to the user, as Orthanc automatically
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	83 decompresses the file before sending it back to the external world.

901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	85 Compression is controlled by the ``StorageCompression`` option in the
901e8961f46e initial commit Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: diff changeset	86 :ref:`Orthanc configuration file <configuration>`.

d6bd1dd820e5 metadata Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 25 diff changeset	98 Metadata consists in an associative key-value array (mapping a
d6bd1dd820e5 metadata Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 25 diff changeset	99 integer key in the range [0,65535] to a string value) that is
d6bd1dd820e5 metadata Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 25 diff changeset	100 associated with each :ref:`DICOM resource <orthanc-ids>` stored inside
d6bd1dd820e5 metadata Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 25 diff changeset	101 Orthanc (may it be a patient, a study, a series or a DICOM
d6bd1dd820e5 metadata Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 25 diff changeset	102 instance). Metadata can be either referred to using the integer key,
d6bd1dd820e5 metadata Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 25 diff changeset	103 or using a symbolic name (if configured). Metadata records
d6bd1dd820e5 metadata Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 25 diff changeset	104 information that is not readily available in the DICOM tags.

d6bd1dd820e5 metadata Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 25 diff changeset	106 In spirit, the metadata mechanism is similar to the :ref:`attachment
d6bd1dd820e5 metadata Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 25 diff changeset	107 mechanism <orthanc-storage>`. However, metadata is stored directly
d6bd1dd820e5 metadata Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 25 diff changeset	108 inside the database, whereas attachments are stored as separate files
d6bd1dd820e5 metadata Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 25 diff changeset	109 on the filesystem (the database only stores a reference to the
632 38face2a84a4 metadata are utf-8 strings Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 622 diff changeset	110 attachments). Choosing between metadata and attachments is most often
38face2a84a4 metadata are utf-8 strings Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 622 diff changeset	111 a matter of trade-off: Metadata must be kept small (as a rule of
38face2a84a4 metadata are utf-8 strings Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 622 diff changeset	112 thumb, under 1KB) and used if fast access is needed, whereas
38face2a84a4 metadata are utf-8 strings Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 622 diff changeset	113 attachments can be used to store arbitrarily large piece of data.

38face2a84a4 metadata are utf-8 strings Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 622 diff changeset	115 However, pay attention to the fact that metadata must be UTF-8 strings

d6bd1dd820e5 metadata Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 25 diff changeset	131 * ``ReceptionDate`` records when a DICOM instance was received by
d6bd1dd820e5 metadata Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 25 diff changeset	132 Orthanc. Similarly, ``LastUpdate`` records, for each
d6bd1dd820e5 metadata Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 25 diff changeset	133 patient/study/series, the last time a DICOM instance was added to

d6bd1dd820e5 metadata Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 25 diff changeset	140 this metadata indicates that the resource is the result of a
d6bd1dd820e5 metadata Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 25 diff changeset	141 modification or anonymization that was carried on by Orthanc.
d6bd1dd820e5 metadata Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 25 diff changeset	142 * ``Origin`` records through which mechanism the instance was received
d6bd1dd820e5 metadata Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 25 diff changeset	143 by Orthanc (may be ``Unknown``, ``DicomProtocol``, ``RestApi``,

8bda16db46cf SynchronousCMove: Synchronous vs. asynchronous C-MOVE SCP Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 661 diff changeset	448 synchronous or in asynchronous mode, depending on the value of the

8bda16db46cf SynchronousCMove: Synchronous vs. asynchronous C-MOVE SCP Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 661 diff changeset	452 Orthanc will interleave its C-STORE SCU commands with the C-MOVE
8bda16db46cf SynchronousCMove: Synchronous vs. asynchronous C-MOVE SCP Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 661 diff changeset	453 instructions received from the remote modality. In other words,
8bda16db46cf SynchronousCMove: Synchronous vs. asynchronous C-MOVE SCP Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 661 diff changeset	454 Orthanc immediately sends the DICOM instances while it handles the

8bda16db46cf SynchronousCMove: Synchronous vs. asynchronous C-MOVE SCP Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 661 diff changeset	456 compatibility with simple DICOM client software that considers that
8bda16db46cf SynchronousCMove: Synchronous vs. asynchronous C-MOVE SCP Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 661 diff changeset	457 when its C-MOVE SCU is over, it should have received all the
8bda16db46cf SynchronousCMove: Synchronous vs. asynchronous C-MOVE SCP Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 661 diff changeset	458 instructed DICOM instances. This is the default behavior of Orthanc.

8bda16db46cf SynchronousCMove: Synchronous vs. asynchronous C-MOVE SCP Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 661 diff changeset	461 Orthanc will queue the C-MOVE instructions and :ref:`creates a job

8bda16db46cf SynchronousCMove: Synchronous vs. asynchronous C-MOVE SCP Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 661 diff changeset	463 afterward. This behavior is typically encountered in hospital-wide
8bda16db46cf SynchronousCMove: Synchronous vs. asynchronous C-MOVE SCP Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 661 diff changeset	464 PACS systems, but requires the client software to be more complex as

5491953f7492 documentation of labels Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 908 diff changeset	482 Orthanc 1.12.0 introduces the concept of labels. A label is a
5491953f7492 documentation of labels Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 908 diff changeset	483 string that can be attached to any DICOM resource (i.e. patients,
5491953f7492 documentation of labels Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 908 diff changeset	484 studies, series, or instances). In contrast with :ref:`metadata
5491953f7492 documentation of labels Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 908 diff changeset	485 <metadata>`, labels are not associated with a value, however labels
5491953f7492 documentation of labels Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 908 diff changeset	486 are indexed in the Orthanc database for efficient lookups.
5491953f7492 documentation of labels Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 908 diff changeset	487
5491953f7492 documentation of labels Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 908 diff changeset	488 Labels can notably be used as the building block to implement
5491953f7492 documentation of labels Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 908 diff changeset	489 multi-tenancy, which means that a single database could be shared
5491953f7492 documentation of labels Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 908 diff changeset	490 between different tenants that are distinguished by different labels.
5491953f7492 documentation of labels Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 908 diff changeset	491 This idea is illustrated by the :ref:`multitenant DICOM server
5491953f7492 documentation of labels Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 908 diff changeset	492 <multitenant-dicom>` sample plugin. A similar approach could be used
5491953f7492 documentation of labels Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 908 diff changeset	493 to implement Web interfaces that restrict the resources that are
5491953f7492 documentation of labels Sebastien Jodogne <s.jodogne@gmail.com> parents: 908 diff changeset	494 accessible to some users by assigning labels to users. Labels are also
