| 2 ================ | |

| 4 General Information | |
| 5 ------------------- | |
| 6 | |
| 7 This repository contains the source code of the Stone of Orthanc. | |
| 8 | |
| 9 Stone of Orthanc is a lightweight, cross-platform C++ framework for | |
| 10 the CPU-based rendering of medical images. It notably features support | |
| 11 for MPR (multiplanar reconstruction of volume images), PET-CT fusion, | |
| 12 and accurate physical world coordinates. | |
| 13 | |
| 14 Stone of Orthanc comes bundled with its own software-based rendering | |
| 15 engine (based upon pixman). This engine will use CPU hardware | |
| 16 acceleration if available (notably SSE2, SSSE3, and NEON instruction | |
| 17 sets), but not the GPU. This makes Stone a highly versatile framework | |
| 9 | 18 that can run even on low-performance platforms. Note that Stone is |
| 19 able to display DICOM series without having to entirely store them in | |
| 20 the RAM (i.e. frame by frame). | |
| 21 | |
| 22 Thanks to its standalone rendering engine, Stone of Orthanc is also | |
| 23 compatible with any GUI framework (such as Qt, wxWidgets, MFC...). The | |
| 24 provided sample applications use the SDL framework. | |
| 0 | 25 |
| 9 | 26 Stone is conceived as a companion toolbox to the Orthanc VNA (vendor |
| 27 neutral archive, i.e. DICOM server). As a consequence, Stone will | |
| 28 smoothly interface with Orthanc out of the box. Interestingly, Stone | |
| 29 does not contain any DICOM toolkit: It entirely relies on the REST API | |
| 30 of Orthanc to parse/decode DICOM images. However, thanks to the | |
| 31 object-oriented architecture of Stone, it is possible to avoid this | |
| 32 dependency upon Orthanc, e.g. to download DICOM datasets using | |
| 33 DICOMweb. | |

| 36 Comparison | |
| 37 ---------- | |
| 38 | |
| 39 Pay attention to the fact that Stone of Orthanc is a toolkit, and not | |
| 1 | 40 a fully-featured application for the visualization of medical images |
| 41 (such as Horos/OsiriX or Ginkgo CADx). However, such applications | |
| 445 | 42 can be built on the top of Stone of Orthanc. |

| 44 Stone of Orthanc is quite similar to two other well-known toolkits: | |
| 45 | |
| 46 * Cornerstone, a client-side JavaScript toolkit to display medical | |
| 47 images in Web browsers, by Chris Hafey <chafey@gmail.com>: | |
| 48 https://github.com/chafey/cornerstone | |
| 49 | |
| 50 Contrarily to Cornerstone, Stone of Orthanc can be embedded into | |
| 51 native, heavyweight applications. | |
| 52 | |
| 53 * VTK, a C++ toolkit for scientific visualization, by Kitware: | |
| 54 http://www.vtk.org/ | |
| 55 | |
| 56 Contrarily to VTK, Stone of Orthanc is focused on CPU-based, 2D | |
| 57 rendering: The GPU will not be used. | |
| 58 | |
| 59 | |
| 60 Dependencies | |
| 61 ------------ | |
| 62 | |
| 63 Stone of Orthanc is based upon the following projects: | |
| 64 | |
| 65 * Orthanc, a lightweight Vendor Neutral Archive (DICOM server): | |
| 66 http://www.orthanc-server.com/ | |
| 67 | |
| 68 * Cairo and pixman, a cross-platform 2D graphics library: | |
| 69 https://www.cairographics.org/ | |
| 70 | |
| 71 * Optionally, SDL, a cross-platform multimedia library: | |
| 72 https://www.libsdl.org/ | |
| 73 | |
| 445 | 74 Prerequisites to compile natively on Ubuntu: |
| 222 | 75 ``` |
| 76 sudo apt-get install -y libcairo-dev libpixman-1-dev libsdl2-dev | |
| 77 ``` | |
| 0 | 78 |
| 445 | 79 The emscripten SDK is required for the WASM build. Please install it |
| 80 in `~/apps/emsdk`. If you wish to use it in another way, please edit | |
| 81 the `build-wasm.sh` file. | |

83 ninja (`sudo apt-get install -y ninja-build`) is used instead of make, for performance reasons. |
