3 Supported DICOM images
4 ======================
5
6 Orthanc can **receive/store/send** any kind of standard DICOM files
7 (cf. the `DICOM conformance statement
8 <https://bitbucket.org/sjodogne/orthanc/src/default/Resources/DicomConformanceStatement.txt>`__).
9
10 However, its core engine is not able to **render** all of them as PNG
11 images. An image that Orthanc cannot decode is displayed as
12 "Unsupported" by Orthanc Explorer. Currently, the core engine of
13 Orthanc can decode:
14
15 * uncompressed (raw) DICOM files,
16 * JPEG DICOM files, and
17 * JPEG-LS DICOM files.
18
19 The supported photometric interpretations are:
20
21 * RGB,
22 * Grayscale2.
23
24 The Orthanc core supports from 8bpp to 16bpp depth, with integer
25 values. Multiframe (notably cine), uncompressed DICOM instances can
26 also be displayed from Orthanc Explorer.
27
28 Other type of encodings are available in the `Web viewer plugin
29 <http://www.orthanc-server.com/static.php?page=web-viewer>`__, that
30 mostly supports whatever is supported by the well-known `GDCM toolkit
31 <http://sourceforge.net/projects/gdcm/>`__ by Mathieu Malaterre. Note
32 that multiframe (notably cine) DICOM instances are currently not
33 supported by the Web viewer plugin. It is also planned to create a
34 `plugin to extend the image formats <https://trello.com/c/MAh6vIXF>`__
35 that are supported by the Orthanc core.
