OrthancWSIDicomToTiff, the User Commands manual, all dressed up 💅

💖 NAME 💖

OrthancWSIDicomToTiff — Whole-slide imaging support for Orthanc 🔬

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

OrthancWSIDicomToTiff [OPTION]... [INPUT] [OUTPUT]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so, Orthanc is a lightweight, RESTful DICOM server built for healthcare and medical research 🫶

This tool lets you take a DICOM image for digital pathology that's sitting in some Orthanc server and convert it into a standard hierarchical TIFF 🦋 The tiles in that TIFF are all encoded using JPEG, so it's giving clean and organized vibes ✨

🌈 Generic options 🌈

  • --help — Shows this help text and exits 💅
  • --version — Prints the version info and exits 🧚
  • --verbose — Gets chatty in the logs 📣

🍓 Options for the source DICOM image 🍓

  • --orthanc arg (default http://localhost:8042/) — The URL to the REST API of the target Orthanc server 🌐
  • --username arg — Username for the target Orthanc server 🧑‍💻
  • --password arg — Password for the target Orthanc server 🔑
  • --proxy arg — HTTP proxy to use 🛰️
  • --timeout arg (default 0) — HTTP timeout in seconds, where 0 means no timeout ⏳
  • --verify-peers arg (default 1) — Turns on peer verification during HTTPS requests 🔒
  • --ca-certificates arg — Path to the CA (certification authority) certificates used to validate peers in HTTPS requests 📜

🦄 Options for the target TIFF image 🦄

  • --color arg — Color of the background for missing tiles, like "255,0,0" 🎨
  • --reencode arg — Whether to re-encode each tile in JPEG. This means no transcoding, and it's much slower 🐢 (Boolean)
