| 480 | 123 by calling some REST route, similarly to the |

| 128 by calling some REST route. This is notably useful for dentistry | |
| 129 (dental implants) or orthopaedics, yet even cutting-edge | |

| 140 ``Axx`` of Chapter 3 ("Patient Administration") in the HL7 v2.9 | |

| 142 past on the Orthanc forum | |
| 143 <https://groups.google.com/g/orthanc-users/c/Spjtcj9vSPo/m/ktUArWxUDQAJ>`__. | |
| 690 | 144 + Create a `DICOM proxy |
| 145 <https://groups.google.com/g/orthanc-users/c/15dYEm4Tguw/m/PoldpTOQAQAJ>`__ | |
| 146 (to share a single connection on a PACS by several DICOM | |

| 149 (to turn a DICOM-only PACS into a DICOMweb server). This could | |

156 - Always remember that he **recommended way of contributing to the |
| 474 | 157 source code of Orthanc is by creating C/C++/Python plugins, or by |
| 158 creating external software that use the REST API**. If the current | |
| 159 plugin SDK is insufficient for you to develop some feature as a | |
| 160 plugin, do not hesitate to request an extension to the Orthanc SDK | |
