OFUR - mbarnig/RadioLogic GitHub Wiki

The first working name of the RadioLogic project was OFUR, the acronym for outil de formation universitaire radiologique.

The concept of OFUR was presented and approved on June 2015. The main points were:

• use Orthanc (version 0.8.6) as PACS to serve the clinical case files
• use Cornerstone (by Chris Hafey) or DWV (by Yves Martelli) as a framework for the DICOM viewer
• optimize the viewer for iPADs
• target three groups: radiology students, graduated radiologists (life-long learning), physicians
• create three products : OFUR-chu, a server-client platform running on Apple devices; OFUR-lite, a free client HTML5 web application; OFUR-pro, a client web application in App-Store with integrated purchase of clinical cases
• use english as interface language
• use open source software license
• do not request a medical certification, because the tool is only used for education, not for diagnostic purposes
• comply with personal data protection rules
• create the project in five steps
• foresee a development time of about twelve months
• host the project on Amazon Web Services (AWS)
• provide personal assessment facilities
• allow usage in training rooms in the hospital where Internet is not available
• set a priority on low costs

The project started with the development of OFUR-lite, the progressive web application which was initially the main part of the whole system. A first prototype of the OFUR-lite web viewer was ready several weeks after the approval of the concept. The further evolution of the project is documented in the chapter RadioLogic Milestones.
