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

#OTD Exactly eleven years ago, after six months of research in the Department of medical physics at
the University Hospital of Liège, I publicly released the first version of Orthanc (that was known as Palantir at that time). #FreeSoftware #DICOM

The call for contributions to the Orthanc Conference 2023 is now open! Topics of interest include:

Orthanc-specific contributions:
- Real-world deployments of Orthanc (clinical departments, hospitals, regional/country-wide implementations,...).
- Scientific projects that leverage Orthanc.
- Industrial applications built using Orthanc.
- Extensions to Orthanc (scripts, plugins,...).

Contributions beyond Orthanc:
- Free, libre and open-source software (FLOSS), as well as open hardware projects, for medical imaging and digital pathology.
- FLOSS for the automated analysis of medical images (computer vision, deep learning, and machine learning).
- Healthcare interoperability through FLOSS and open standards (#DICOM, #BIDS, #NIfTI, #IIIF, #FHIR,...).

Deadline: Early September.

#DICOM #FreeSoftware #UCLouvain

Happy to talk this morning at the university hospital of Charleroi about free, libre, #opensource software for #healthcare and about #federatedlearning, in the context of the inter-university certificate for artificial intelligence in medicine!

Did you know that the #Rust language can be used to create plugins for #Orthanc? Check out Andrew Webber's plugins showcasing Rust integration for S3 storage (CRUD) and change notification! #DICOM https://github.com/andrewwebber/orthanc-rust-plugins

The joint GNU Health / Orthanc conference started three hours ago, and already so many fruitful, insightful interactions!

Thanks so much to all of you who demonstrate, by your work and by your commitment, that source code can have a fundamental social impact. #UCLouvain
