IMConnect¶
IMConnect, the DICOM router by Immeditech, is a high-performance, modular routing solution for DICOM connections. It accepts DICOM associations, applies configurable filter rules and processing steps, and forwards them to the appropriate destination — from plain forwarding to rewrite plugins, audit trail and capture.

Typical use cases¶
- Central DICOM entry point: one listener, routing by calling/called AE title to multiple PACS/archives, cleanly rejecting unknown senders (A-ASSOCIATE-RJ with proper DICOM reject codes).
- Rewrite on the fly: rewrite AE titles, worklist responses or C-MOVE destinations without any change on the sender or receiver side.
- Zero-downtime operations: multiple instances behind HAProxy with agent checks, drain/reload via the management CLI, rolling updates.
- Traceability: audit trail of all DIMSE operations in PostgreSQL, binary PDU captures and DICOM tap for troubleshooting.
