1 What DICOM viewer is compatible with Orthanc?
2 =============================================
3
4 Basically, any viewer that supports :ref:`DICOM query/retrieve
5 <query-retrieve>` should be compatible with Orthanc.
6
7 Because the Orthanc project is focused on the promotion of free
8 software for medical imaging, we cannot keep track of the list of
9 proprietary DICOM viewers that are compatible with Orthanc. Here is a
10 list of free and open-source viewers that are known to be compatible
11 with Orthanc (do not hesitate to `warn us
12 <mailto:s.jodogne@gmail.com>`__ about other compatible FOSS):
13
14 * `Horos <http://www.horosproject.org/>`__.
15 * `Gingko CADx <http://www.ginkgo-cadx.com/>`__ (a :ref:`configuration
16 guide <ginkgo-cadx>` is available).
17 * `3D Slicer <https://www.slicer.org/>`__.
18 * `medInria <https://med.inria.fr/>`__.
19 * `Aeskulap <http://aeskulap.nongnu.org/>`__.
20 * `OsiriX <http://www.osirix-viewer.com/>`__ (note however that the
21 openness of this particular software is `currently subject to
22 discussion
23 <http://blog.purview.net/an-open-letter-to-the-osirix-community>`__).
24
25 Make also sure to check out the following official extensions to Orthanc:
26
27 * `Web viewer plugin <http://www.orthanc-server.com/static.php?page=web-viewer>`__.
28 * `ImageJ extension <http://www.orthanc-server.com/static.php?page=imagej>`__.

30 As far as Sébastien Jodogne is concerned, he uses the Web viewer
31 plugin and the ImageJ extension for simple analysis tasks. For more
32 intensive 3D viewing, he uses Ginkgo CADx. Finally, for advanced
33 usages (such as PET-CT fusion or contouring), he switches to 3D
34 Slicer.

37 follow the :ref:`troubleshooting guide <dicom>`.
