Today we are proud to announce that Digital Public Goods Alliance has recognized Orthanc as a digital public good!

This underscores our commitment to contribute to Sustainable Development Goals 3 and 9 (health, innovation, infrastructure). This also affirms our mission to freely share the technical knowledge about medical imaging at large. #DICOM #SDG #UCLouvain

Stone Web viewer 2.4 has just been released! This unique, open-source Web viewer of medical images is entirely written in C++ thanks to the #WebAssembly technology. This new version brings a huge number of improvements. Check out the online demo: https://www.orthanc-server.com/static.php?page=stone-web-viewer #DICOM

Introducing our latest plugin for Orthanc! Now you can encapsulate #STL files into #DICOM instances seamlessly, then display them using any Web viewer. STL files can also be automatically generated from DICOM structure sets (RT-STRUCT). https://orthanc.uclouvain.be/book/plugins/stl.html

Yet another scientific publication that talks about Orthanc without citing the associated paper. Such a behavior hinders the search for funding to pursue the development of free and open-source projects for the benefit of the whole community.

I am extremely honored to share that today, I received the GNU Health Social Medicine award for outstanding individual during the GNU Health conference 2023.

It's an award that gives deep meaning to the work I've been doing for over ten years, from a community whose aim is to promote public health and social medicine.

I'm especially grateful to @meanmicio, who is one of those few people who know how to unite people around a goal for the common good. Luis is one of the most inspiring people in my life. Thank you for everything you've taught me!

@meanmicio Hi Luis we're at the entry portal... could someone open us?

Time for the last technical talk of the conference, with Diego Victor de Jesus explaining how Orthanc router containers could help to scale and organize applications for medical imaging #GHCon2023 #OrthancCon2023

Gabriel Couture is now introducing PyOrthanc as a Python wrapper around the REST API of Orthanc, whose implementation was bootstrapped from the OpenAPI documentation provided by the Orthanc project at https://api.orthanc-server.com/ #GHCon2023 #OrthancCon2023

It's now up to the Orthanc Team to talk about the deployment of Orthanc as a secured cloud-based PACS #GHCon2023 #OrthancCon2023

Thanks so much to the Computational Health Informatics team of Leibniz Universität Hannover, and especially to Gerald Wiese, for hosting #OrthancCon2023 and #GHCon2023 in Hanover!

Another wonderful by Yannick Lemaréchal regarding PARADIM, a digital infrastructure to support research in medical imaging that is developed at IUCPQ-Université Laval #GHCon2023 #OrthancCon2023

Paul from @Kitware is giving a very impressive talk about VolView, an extremely important free and open-source 3D viewer for medical imaging #OrthancCon2023 #GHCon2023

Salim Kanoun is now presenting an update about the GaelO project, which uses Orthanc as a DICOM backend for clinical studies (with the "O" in "GaelO" standing for "Orthanc") #GHCon2023 #OrthancCon2023

Wonderful talk by Walco van Loon about Orthanc Server Extensions, which can be used to ease the setup of AI workflows for medical imaging #GHCon2023 #OrthancCon2023

The joint conference #GHCon2023 and #OrthancCon2023 is about to start!
