0 | 3 Orthanc Explorer is not user-friendly enough for my use |
4 ======================================================= | |
5 | |
6 Orthanc is designed as a lightweight service for medical imaging, | |
7 where the word *service* must be understood in the sense of | |
8 `service-oriented architectures | |
9 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service-oriented_architecture>`__. As | |
10 a consequence, Orthanc is conceived as a robust back-end server | |
11 (command-line) that aims to provide the most simple and generic | |
12 support of DICOM. To state it differently, **the primary focus of the | |
13 Orthanc project is not on the user interface**. | |
14 | |
15 However, Orthanc comes out-of-the-box with :ref:`Orthanc Explorer | |
16 <orthanc-explorer>`, its default Web user interface. **Orthanc | |
433 | 17 Explorer is designed for development, low-level purpose.** It is |
0 | 18 also used by the development team to test the features of Orthanc as |
19 they get introduced in the REST API. Orthanc Explorer is mainly | |
68 | 20 targeted towards an English-speaking technical audience (notably |
21 system/network engineers, `PACS | |
0 | 22 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picture_archiving_and_communication_system>`__ |
23 managers, medical physicists, and researchers). | |
24 | |
25 **Non-technical audience** (physicists, patients, administrative | |
924 | 26 staff...) **shall have a look at** :ref:`Orthanc Explorer 2 <orthanc-explorer-2>` |
27 **plugin** that provides a more friendly user interface including: | |
28 | |
29 - translations | |
30 - modification and tunable anonymization | |
31 - configurable interface | |
0 | 32 |
924 | 33 Once integrated with the `orthanc-auth-service <https://github.com/orthanc-team/orthanc-auth-service>`__ |
34 companion web service, Orthanc Explorer 2 also offers: | |
35 | |
36 - user permissions | |
37 - web diffusion to patients/physicians | |
