They say you should never release on Fridays, especially not before holidays. Anyway, the new release 3.0 of the whole-slide imaging plugin is now available!

This release brings support for on-the-fly generation of multi-resolution pyramids directly from DICOM instances. This new feature enables efficient viewing of high-resolution images directly in a Web browser (such as a mammogram), without downloading the full image locally or generating a separate series using the OrthancWSIDicomizer command-line tool. Compatibility with IIIF is provided as well.

A very joyful holiday season to all of you,
Sébastien-

A new release of the OHIF plugin for Orthanc has just been released, featuring OHIF 3.9.1.

Notre collaboration explore l'applicabilité d'Orthanc comme serveur multimédia pour le partage des numérisations des collections anthropologiques grâce au standard d'interopérabilité DICOM.

Ce travail vient d'être présenté au 35e édition du Colloque du Groupement des Anthropologistes de Langue Française (GALF 2024).

Version 2.1 of the whole-slide imaging plugin for Orthanc has just been released!

This new release brings a huge number of improvements, including better support for the Leica (.scn), Mirax (.mrxs), and Hamamatsu (.ndpi) formats, as well as for sparse tiling.

In addition, the "--padding" option of the OrthancWSIDicomizer command-line tool offers an easy way to pad JPEG, PNG, and plain TIFF images with a border to make their size compatible with deep zoom over the IIIF protocol.

Happy twelfth birthday, Orthanc!

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

GNU Health and Orthanc joining at the same #FOSDEM stand! #FreeSoftware #SocialMedicine #MedicalImaging

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!
