TL;DR Summary
This is just a quick post to maybe ask someone for help that has experience with working with ORTHANC and setting it up in a clinical environment to send and receive images from a modality.
Hi there,

I was hoping to set up an ORTHANC DICOM server on my work computer and I guess computer programming isn't my strength. I was just wondering if anyone has much experience with this and would be willing to field a couple of questions from me that would help me get this set up. In particular I guess I want to know if anything different needs to be down in terms of the send/receive settings in order to be able to receive dose structured reports?

Thanks in advance for any participation or advice.
