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.

.- referencestring
A reference to another resource. This is typically either a relative reference which includes the resource type and ID, or an internal reference which starts with
#
and refers to a contained resource.

Identifiers for the ImagingStudy such as DICOM Study Instance UID, and Accession Number.
- extensionArray of Boolean, String, CodeableConcept, Coding
May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL.
- valueBooleanboolean
A single value for the extension.
- usestring
The purpose of this identifier.
Possible Values:usual
,official
,temp
,secondary
,old (If known)

A reference to another resource. This is typically either a relative reference which includes the resource type and ID, or an internal reference which starts with
#
and refers to a contained resource.
- endpointArray of object
The network service providing access (e.g., query, view, or retrieval) for the study. See implementation notes for information about using DICOM endpoints. A study-level endpoint applies to each series in the study, unless overridden by a series-level endpoint with the same Endpoint.connectionType.
Must be a resource of type
Endpoint
