About



 A Brief History of Orthanc and Its Maintainers :
  • 2011 :  Sébastien Jodogne created Orthanc while working at the University Hospital of Liège, Belgium (CHUL). 
  • 2015 : Sébastien, Alain Mazy, and other stakeholders founded Osimis to offer professional services and certified Orthanc products for hospitals. The company ceased operations in 2024. 
  • 2021 :  Sébastien and Alain left Osimis. Sébastien became a professor at UCLouvain, while Alain returned to freelance software development. 
  • 2022 :  Alain and Benoît Crickboom founded Orthanc Team, which now maintains Orthanc, supports the community, and deploys Orthanc in clinics and small practices. 

Orthanc in 2025 :
Sébastien continues to develop Orthanc for research and teaching at UCLouvain, aligning with the project’s mission: “Share technical knowledge about medical imaging.” 
Orthanc Team focuses on supporting the community—software vendors, small PACS users, and clinics—ensuring Orthanc remains accessible and reliable. 

Funding the Future
Donations on Open Collective help sustain Orthanc’s development. For three years, we’ve relied on contributions averaging €4,000/month, with 75% from a single donor who recently ended their support. To ensure Orthanc’s future, we’re calling on the community to diversify and expand our funding base.

How You Can Help
 
  • Medical Professionals & Freelancers: If Orthanc is as vital to your work as your desk or printer, consider becoming a backer on Open Collective.
  • Clinics & Software Companies: If Orthanc is integral to your operations—like your X-Ray or cloud infrastructure—please become a sponsor

Your contribution ensures Orthanc remains free, open, and community-driven.  Donations support the project’s sustainability but do not include custom development or exclusive features. For dedicated support or specific features, reach out to professional providers.

Thank You
Orthanc thrives because of its community. Whether you’re a user, developer, or advocate, your support - financial or otherwise - makes a difference. Together, we can keep Orthanc strong and accessible for years to come. 

With gratitude

Alain Mazy
