post/ImagingStudy/_search
Page View

This resource contains content from a Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) study.

Since this resource type represents medical images and related data that adhere to DICOM standards, the resource entries and elements map to DICOM attributes. A series comprises one type of imaging, while a study may have one or more series of different types within a resource. Learn more about translating DICOM to FHIR®.

You can review DICOM content or retrieve its storage location.

_search

Query for the storage location of a patient's imaging results.

This is a flexible option with query parameters to refine your search.
