[en] High-quality radiotherapy (RT) treatment planning requires the combination of
information arising from multiple medical imaging modalities. For this reason, RT
implies the setup and the management of complex flows of images between the
various modalities and software of the hospital. Even though biomedical images are
most commonly stored and transferred using the DICOM standard, it remains hard to
automatize and optimize these clinical flows that are very specific to each hospital.
This stems from the fact that programming the DICOM network protocol requires both a
high level of familiarity with the DICOM standard as well as substantial experience in
computer programming. This motivates the introduction of the Orthanc software in the
medical practice to improve the RT imaging workflow.
