DICOM testing over TLS

I have two open-source projects to deploy a medical imaging application on different platforms. In both of them, I define DICOM validation scenario, and provide steps to test DICOM traffic with TLS. The steps have been working well, until a recent change in Envoy broke the testing, and led me to revisit the test scenario. … Read moreDICOM testing over TLS

FluxCD: Continuous Deployment with GitOps

This post explains why I land on FluxCD GitOps for my project. Let’s star Background In the Korthweb project, I landed on Istio for the Ingress Gateway technology. I first attempted to expand the orthanc Helm Chart to bring Istio as dependency (sub-chart). One of the external chart for Istio gateway needs to be referenced … Read moreFluxCD: Continuous Deployment with GitOps

From Ingress to CRD: why my solution needs Istio Gateways on Kubernetes platforms

Update: also read my other article here on the different generations of ingress technologies. In my Korthweb project I was researching for the best ingress mechanism for HTTP and TCP workload, both of which need to be secured. I started with Kubernetes Ingress but eventually decided to go with Istio Gateway. This blog post is … Read moreFrom Ingress to CRD: why my solution needs Istio Gateways on Kubernetes platforms

Helm – Configuration Management for Kubernetes Resources

Developer ships application in Docker container, so it can eventually hosted in Kubernetes cluster. However, there are still some installation steps, before the application can operate online in production. In this post, we use the container image of Orthanc application as a starting point. We first build services in Kubernetes to go through these steps. … Read moreHelm – Configuration Management for Kubernetes Resources

How imaging devices talk to each other (in DICOM)

Overview In the previous post I briefly touched on DICOM as the crucial standard in medical imaging for both data exchanging and data storage. It is important to understand that DICOM is such a massive standard that, beyond data exchanging and storage, has expanded into many different areas around imaging, that no device (or information … Read moreHow imaging devices talk to each other (in DICOM)

Automatic deployment of Orthanc on AWS

[Update] Some security improvement was introduced in may 2021. Here‘s detail. [Update] Here’s the link to the orthweb repository. In this project we introduce a medical imaging web service based on Orthanc, an open-source project of DICOM server, and a pipeline to deploy such server automatically and consistently. We deploy Orthanc on AWS automatically. This … Read moreAutomatic deployment of Orthanc on AWS
