orthanc-tools 0.4.9

Python Orthanc Tools

python-orthanc-tools

A set of python tools to ease Orthanc scripting.

Functionalities are very limited now ! Backward compat will break a lot in the near future !

Installation

pip3 install orthanc-tools

cloning an Orthanc to another

The cloners copies everything that is currently in the source Orthanc into the destination Orthanc and, once this is done continues the cloning process for every DICOM instance that is received by the source.

from a python script:

from orthanc_tools import OrthancCloner
from orthanc_api_client import OrthancApiClient

orthanc_a = OrthancApiClient('http://localhost:8042', user='orthanc', pwd='orthanc')
orthanc_b = OrthancApiClient('http://localhost:8043', user='orthanc', pwd='orthanc')

cloner = OrthancCloner(source=orthanc_a, destination=orthanc_b)
cloner.execute(existing_changes_only=False)

from a shell:

python3 -m orthanc_tools.orthanc_cloner --source_url=http://192.168.0.10:8042 --source_user=user --source_pwd=pwd --dest_url=http://192.168.0.10:8042 --dest_user=user --dest_pwd=pwd

import files from a folder from a Docker container

$ docker exec -it xxxx bash

/# pip3 install orthanc-tools

/# python3 -m orthanc_tools.orthanc_folder_importer --folder=/import --url=http://localhost:8042 --user=test --password=test --skip_extensions=.cne,.bmp,.ini

migrate DICOM Data from a modality to another

More info in the PacsMigrator class

$ docker exec -it xxxx bash

/# pip3 install orthanc-tools

/# python3 -m orthanc_tools.pacs_migrator --url=http://localhost:8042 --user=user --password=pwd --destination_modality=orthanc-debug --from_study_date=20000101 --to_study_date=20191231 --run_only_at_night_and_weekend --night_start_hour=18 --night_end_hour=6

compare DICOM Data found in Orthanc and in a remote modality

Running in a Docker environment:

$ docker run -d --name comparator --network=mysetup_default python:3.9 bash -c "pip3 install orthanc-tools && python3 -u -m orthanc_tools.orthanc_comparator --level=Instance --url=http://pacs-2022:8042 --modality=pacs-2017 --from_study_date=20220201 --to_study_date=20220302 --transfer_missing_to_modality --ignore_missing_from_orthanc --run_only_at_night_and_weekend --night_start_hour=19 --night_end_hour=6"

uploading a Test DB in Orthanc

The OrthancTestDbPopulator generates test images and uploads them in Orthanc. All images have only 4 pixels and take a minimum amount of space on disk. By default, the generator always generates the same date, use a different seed if you need variation.

From a shell:

python3 -m orthanc_tools.orthanc_test_db_populator --url=http://192.168.0.10:8042 --user=user --password=pwd --studies=5000 --seed=42
