Advanced search tools for dmd2b project.

Build a website for DICOM files thanks to Django

You can access to my work by this path : /neuro/users/yves.verpillieux/DicomInfoExtraction/prg/dmd2b_web/

In the folder /dmd2b_web/polls/, the file "services.py" is a new version of "DicomInfoExtraction.py" which belongs to dmd2b project. It extracts the values from DICOM files and then saves them in a Django database created with the models.

You will find the DICOM files in the path : /neuro/users/chris/data/

Python3 and Django1.9 need to be installed

You need to install pydicom-0.9.9 and python3-dateutil:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install python3-dateutil

cd pydicom-0.9.9
python setup.py install
pip install pydicom

Edit the following lines in "services.py" to point to "dicom", "output" and "dmd2_web" settings directories

sys.path.append("/neuro/users/.../dmd2b_web")

os.chdir(/the/path/to/dicom/)

outputDir = (/the/path/to/output")

And then do : python3 services.py

To create the development database, do the followings:

mysql -u root -p

Now create a local database on MySQL's shell:

CREATE DATABASE dmd2b_web_db CHARACTER SET UTF8;

This ensures all tables and columns will use UTF-8 by default.

Next, we will create a database user which we will use to connect to and interact with the database. Set the password to something strong and secure:

CREATE USER user@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

Now, all we need to do is give our database user access rights to the database we created:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dmd2b_web_db.* TO user@localhost;

Flush the changes so that they will be available during the current session:

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Then, you will need to change the database settings :

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME': 'dmd2b_web_db',
        'USER': 'user',
        'PASSWORD': 'password',
        'HOST': 'localhost',
        'PORT': '',
    }
}

#To see the data Connect to MySQL, then do: USE dmd2b_web_db;

Finally do : SELECT * FROM polls_seriesdetails;

First create a system user to be able to do authenticated requests. We are going to create user "user" with password "password":

python manage.py createsuperuser

Start the Django development server:

Do : python manage.py runserver

Then go to : 127.0.0.1:8000/polls/

Do : python manage.py runserver (Your IP adress):8000

Then go to : (Your IP adress):8000/polls/

Finally, you will see the webpage, then you just click on the webpage's head link to see the results in the other pages.
