Quizzes not related to health
The Orthanc ecosystem and the RadioLogic tools are not limited to store, to view and to assess knowledge to interpret medical images. Technically we can use pictures presenting any real-world problem with a related question and use DICOM tags, or Orthanc metadata, to store the correct answer. A simple example is an e-learning quizz. Such quizzes are widespread on the Internet and related to all sort of topics : IQ tests, STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) education, general knowledge, trivia or even fun. The answer types of these quizzes could be multiple-choice, true-false or open-ended.
Whether it is ethical to use medical software for other purposes is a justified question. A discussion thread launched early November 2019 in the Orthanc user forum concerning this topic got only a few answers. The general opinion is that derived use of medical software for teaching purposes is a highly ethical use case.
