This is a sample setup to demonstrate how an Orthanc instance can be used to serve as a middleman to transcode images between a modality and a PACS.
This demo contains:
- an Orthanc-pacs container that simulates a PACS.
- an Orthanc-middleman container that serves as a 'proxy' between the modalities and the PACS to transcode the images to JP2K before pushing the images to the PACS.
- an Orthanc-modality container that simulates a modality.
To start the setup, type: docker-compose up --build
- login/pwd = demo/demo
- Connect to the orthanc simulating the modality on http://localhost:8044.
- Upload an image to this instance of Orthanc.
- In the Orthanc explorer, open the study, select 'send to modality', select the 'middleman' and send
- the instance is forwarded to the middleman that will transcode the image, forward it to the PACS and delete it from its storage (the middleman is just a temporary buffer)
- Open the orthanc simulating the PACS on http://localhost:8042.
- The image that is stored there is now in JP2K.
