An image that Orthanc cannot decode is displayed as +"Unsupported" by Orthanc Explorer. Currently, the core engine of +Orthanc can decode: + +* uncompressed (raw) DICOM files, +* JPEG DICOM files, and +* JPEG-LS DICOM files. + +The supported photometric interpretations are: + +* RGB, +* Grayscale2. + +The Orthanc core supports from 8bpp to 16bpp depth, with integer +values. Multiframe (notably cine), uncompressed DICOM instances can +also be displayed from Orthanc Explorer. + +Other type of encodings are available in the `Web viewer plugin +<http://www.orthanc-server.com/static.php?page=web-viewer>`__, that +mostly supports whatever is supported by the well-known `GDCM toolkit +<http://sourceforge.net/projects/gdcm/>`__ by Mathieu Malaterre. Note +that multiframe (notably cine) DICOM instances are currently not +supported by the Web viewer plugin. It is also planned to create a +`plugin to extend the image formats <https://trello.com/c/MAh6vIXF>`__ +that are supported by the Orthanc core.
