This package installs a plugin for Orthanc, the lightweight, RESTful Vendor Neutral Archive for medical imaging. The plugin extends Orthanc with a transcoder/decoder of DICOM images that is built on the GDCM library, whereas the built-in transcoder/decoder of Orthanc uses DCMTK.

This plugin is notably necessary for Orthanc to be able to transcode and decode JPEG2k transfer syntaxes.
