Je suis profondément attristé d'apprendre le décès du Prof. Pierre-Arnoul de Marneffe. J'ai eu l'immense chance de le côtoyer durant de nombreuses années à l'Université de Liège, d'abord comme étudiant, puis comme assistant dans son service. Il a énormément compté dans mon parcours. Toujours attentif à la pédagogie de l'algorithmique, il aura marqué de nombreuses générations d'étudiants. Toutes mes condoléances à sa famille et à ses proches.

It is my great pleasure to share the exciting news that the next edition of the Orthanc conference will be held on September 29th-30th 2023, in Hannover (Germany), in collaboration with our friends of the @gnuhealth community!

We will soon launch a call for contributions, but please make sure to book the dates! You can already find early information about the event at the following location: https://gnuhealthcon.org/2023/

Labels can notably be used as a primitive to build multitenant Orthanc deployments (a sample multitenant DICOM server is provided in the Orthanc distribution), or to support artificial intelligence workflow by cleanly separating training and testing sets. https://book.orthanc-server.com/faq/features.html#labels

Orthanc 1.12.0 has just been released! This new major release notably introduces supports for labels, which can be used to efficiently index #DICOM resources according to user-defined criteria.
