dcmgw is a script acting as a gateway allowing to do c-find requests to a Dicom server.
|
|
The results are returned as XML contents. The xml folder contains the XSD specification
|
|
of the response messages as well as some XML samples.
|
|
|
|
dcmgw relies upon dcmqr, from the [dcm4che2 toolkit](http://www.dcm4che.org/confluence/display/d2/dcm4che2+DICOM+Toolkit).

|
Dicom servers are intended to be accessed just by Dicom clients. This is one important limitation in order to access
|
|
these servers from web applications.
|
|
|
|
Currently, things are changing and there are new proposals in order to extend the Dicom protocol by means of
|
|
RESTful web services.
|
|
|
|
In particular, QIDO-RS (Query based on ID for DICOM Objects by RESTful Services) will be included
|
|
in Dicom [supplement 166](http://www.dclunie.com/dicom-status/status.html). Meanwhile, applications like dcmgw provide similar functionality allowing
|
|
to access Dicom servers from web applications right now.
