dicomweb-proxy
A proxy to translate between DICOMWEB and traditional DICOM DIMSE services
Description
- A nodejs tool to easily connect a DICOMWEB capable DICOM viewer to one or more legacy PACS that only know DIMSE services.
Comes preinstalled with the popular OHIF DICOM Web Viewer (version 3.8.0).
Note: Since OHIF 3 is still beta you can also switch back to OHIF 2 version: just remove the public directory and unzip public.zip to public
What is it for?
- if you want to view image data from one or more legacy PACS that does not understand DICOMWEB nor come with a web-viewer
How does it work?
- the app should be installed within the hospital intranet and configured to connect via DIMSE networking to on or more PACS (peers)
- it hosts a default DICOMweb viewer (OHIF) which can be replaced
- the webserver exposes the default QIDO and WADOURI/WADORS API needed for the viewer and converts on the fly between the two protocols
- optionally: you can connect to a DICOMWEB-WEBSOCKET-BRIDGE and expose the data to the public (handle with care!)
Prerequisite
- nodejs 12 or newer
Setup Instructions - npm
install in empty directory:
npm init -y
npm install dicomweb-proxy
update config file located in:
./node_modules/dicomweb-proxy/config
or better: create config override, see: config
start proxy:
npx dicomweb-proxy
Setup Instructions - source
clone repository and install dependencies:
npm install
update config file located in:
./config
start proxy:
npm start
What to modify
- (optional) change our port or AET
config.source = {
aet: "SOURCE_AET",
ip: "SOURCE_IP",
port: "SOURCE_PORT"
};
- change peer(s) to your PACS
config.peers = [{
aet: "TARGET_AET",
ip: "TARGET_IP",
port: "TARGET_PORT"
}, { more peers here...}];
in case your PACS does not support C-GET, switch to C-Move:
config.useCget = false;
update webserver port:
config.webserverPort = 5000;
open webbrowser and start viewing:
e.g.http://localhost:5000
