orthanc-rs

orthanc-rs is a client for the REST API of Orthanc, an open-source, lightweight DICOM server.

Compatibility

Supported Orthanc versions are 1.6.x, 1.7.x, 1.8.x, 1.9.x.

Installation

To use the crate, add the dependency to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
orthanc = "0.8.0"

Usage

Create an API client instance:

use orthanc::Client;
let client = Client::new("http://localhost:8042");

If authentication is enabled on the Orthanc instance:

client.auth("username", "password");

List patients:

client.patients();

Or in an expanded format:

client.patients_expanded();

Get all DICOM tags of an instance:

let instance_id = "0b62ebce-8ab7b938-e5ca1b05-04802ab3-42ee4307";
let tags = client.instance_tags(instance_id);
println!("{}", tags["PatientID"]);

Download a study:

let study_id = "9357491d-427a6c94-4080b6c8-1997f4aa-af658240";
let mut file = fs::File::create("/tmp/study.zip").unwrap();
client.study_dicom(study_id, &mut file).unwrap();

Even though the operation is not very efficient, Orthanc allows uploading DICOM files over REST API:

let data = fs::read("/tmp/instance.dcm").unwrap();
client.upload(&data).unwrap();

See tests directory for more usage examples.

Tests

orthanc-rs is covered by unit as well as integration and end-to-end tests.

To run all tests execute

$ make start_services && make test

Running specific test suits separately is described below.

Unit

To run unit tests execute

$ make unit_test

Integration

To run unit tests execute

$ make integration_test

End-to-end

Install docker-compose and jq and execute

$ make start_services && make e2e_test

This will spin up all the necessary services required for integration tests, and run the tests.

During and after the test run Orthanc web UI is available at http://localhost:8028 (username: orthanc, password: orthanc).

Containers started by start_services are left running after the test is finished. To stop them execute

$ make stop_services
