 sets), but not the GPU. This makes Stone a highly versatile framework

+Thanks to its standalone rendering engine, Stone of Orthanc is also

-Stone of Orthanc is conceived as a companion toolbox to the Orthanc
-VNA (vendor neutral archive, i.e. DICOM server). As a consequence,
-Stone will smoothly interface with Orthanc out of the

-entirely relies on the REST API of Orthanc to parse/decode DICOM
-images. However, thanks to the object-oriented architecture of Stone,
-it is possible to avoid this dependency upon Orthanc, e.g. to download
-DICOM datasets using DICOMweb.
