We need a better introduction than the following.
dcm4chee is an implementation of an IHE (Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise) compliant Image Archive and Report Repository. This includes the capabilities
to store and retrieve various kinds of DICOM Objects such as:
Images from multiple modalities,
Grayscale Presentation States [GSPS], which specifies the presentations of images as grayscaling, zoom, text and graphical annotations,
Key Objects [KO], which specifies a particular selection of images for a specified reason and with an attached note,
Structured Reports [SR].
to process HL7 notification messages from the Order Filler, about Procedure Scheduling, Procedure Updates and Patient Information Updates,
to process DICOM Modality Performed Procedure Step [MPPS] messages from modalities and forward them to the Order Filler.
dcm4chee is a server application. Its Web-based User Interface is intended for system configuration and monitoring by system adminstrators.
