"Chapter 6" 75 pagina's3.644 elements

• File format NOT an object model!

• Not normalized

DicomObject

All 3.644 attributes

• Flat structure (well, some of the datatypes are complex)

• Sets of key/value pairs• "All DICOM Objects must

include Patient, Study, Series and Image"

• FHIR: Focus on "registry" function/searching

Biggest Challenge:

Granularity

QIDO-RS

GET https://dicomweb.myhospital.com/studies/?00100010=THOMPSONAccept: application/json

QIDO-RS and then WADO-RS

Add Retrieve URL (0008,1190)

Secondary Challenges

Composition/reference• DICOM – composition only

Syntax• DateTime -> date+time• Approx. 25 datatypes need

to be converted

Now, I'll just have to finish doing it!
