Thanks for the feedback !

We are developing the interface between Orthanc and GNU Health, so
we can integrate things such as quering, sending and fetching studies
 / series from the DICOM server.

The camera and crypto are some examples of client-based plugins. What
I meant in the previous email is that it _might_ be a orthanc plugin
for the radiologist, so she or he can send directly the DICOM images
to orthanc from the workstation. But is just a possibility that is
being explored.

In the image attachment, instead of Data type, you can set it to  the
URI of the Study on the PACS server.
