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.

The general opinion is that derived use of medical software for teaching purposes is a highly ethical use case.
