Dear Andreas,
All the packages related to X-ray chest and CT-scan radiology in
clinical setups can be considered as relevant to COVID-19 [1]. DICOM
viewers (2D + MPR) and DICOM servers that work out-of-the-box are
probably useful.
Among others, this includes the packages from the "orthanc" family
(disclaimer: I'm the author of Orthanc).
Regarding COVID-19, I'm currently working on enabling Python scripting
in Orthanc to automate routing of medical images in hospitals, and on a
new generation of 3D viewers (MPR) that can display CT-scans directly in
the Web browsers through WebAssembly. (BTW, an updated version of the
"emscripten" package would be needed to have an official Debian package
of such a Web viewer.)
As far as I'm concerned, as all my free time is dedicated to this work,
it is not possible for me to help on Debian packaging besides the
"orthanc*" packages I maintain.
Other related packages in Debian Med [2] notably include aeskulap,
conquest, dcmtk, ginkgocadx, imagej, gdcm, and slicer. Also, note that
GNU Health now features an Orthanc integration [3].
This list is by no way exhaustive!
Kind Regards,
Sébastien-

Hi folks,
I'm **REALLY** waiting for input which of our packages are
COVID-19 relevant. Where should we put our focus on?
Are bugs in macs more relevant than other packages and who
is willing to fix those bugs?
Thanks a lot for any input
Andreas.
