Dicoogle is an open source PACS archive that indexes DICOM metadata with a plugin based search engine, so imaging studies can be found by any attribute rather than a fixed set of fields.
Dicoogle is an extensible open source PACS archive built by a medical informatics research group. Instead of a fixed centralised database it indexes DICOM metadata, including private attribute tags, through a plugin based index and query engine, so an archive can be searched with free text and field qualified queries across effectively any attribute. Studies arrive over standard DICOM network services from modalities and other archives, are stored and indexed automatically, and are then searched from a web interface or a REST API. It is widely used for medical imaging research, teaching and departmental archives, where the ability to select cohorts by arbitrary attributes matters more than the rigid query model of a traditional archive.
cloudimg ships Dicoogle with the indexing and storage plugins already wired together, so a study sent to the instance is stored, indexed and searchable straight away with nothing to assemble. Because an imaging archive is sensitive by nature, the image closes two permissive upstream defaults: it generates a unique administrator password on every instance before the service is allowed to start, so the published default account never exists, and it generates a unique DICOM sender allow list entry per instance, so the image listener rejects senders that have not been authorised rather than accepting studies from anyone. The archive, its index and its configuration live on a dedicated data volume, the base is fully patched with unattended security upgrades enabled, and every deployment is paired with a step by step deploy guide, backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.
