Why does DIMSE still use DicomWeb?

See original GitHub issue

Hi all, First I want to say thank you for this amazing open source software. It’s helped me tremendously in my work.

I have a quick question. I want to use the OHIF Viewer in my hospital. We have a PACS server by GE which only supports DIMSE (no DicomWeb). For testing I tried disabling the DicomWeb plugin in Orthanc to simulate our PACS server and running the OHIF Viewer with the orthancDIMSE.json config file. In the studylist it fires a C_FIND request to Orthanc and successfully receives and displays the studies. But when I double click it and the viewer loads I get the error: An error has occurred while loading image: dicomweb:/__wado_proxy?url=http....

I traced it to here: https://github.com/OHIF/Viewers/blob/00e4949ab592c99cb36b7fecdb89ab73027502a4/Packages/ohif-studies/imports/server/services/dimse/retrieveMetadata.js#L136 where the comment says Retrieve the actual data over WADO-URI So although the metadata is retrieved via DIMSE, the pixel data is still retrieved via DicomWeb it seems. Am I right in concluding that OHIF Viewer does not support a pure DIMSE PACS server? I see that the package Ohif-dicom-services does support C_GET but it’s not used anywhere.

Kind regards, Emil

Finally got around to creating a merge request for this. I’m sorry it took so long. If it’s still of any use, please have a look. I’m using this setup at a Danish hospital and it works like a charm.
