Representation of the content produced in a DICOM imaging study. A study comprises a set of Series, each of which includes a set of Service-Object Pair Instances (SOP Instances - images or other data) acquired or produced in a common context. A Series is of only one modality (e.g., X-ray, CT, MR, ultrasound), but a Study may have multiple Series of different modalities.

Date and Time the study started. Timezone Offset From UTC.

The patient imaged in the study.

Formal identifier for the study.

Accession Number.

Other identifiers for the study.

A list of the diagnostic orders that resulted in this imaging study being performed.

To support grouped procedures (one imaging study supporting multiple ordered procedures, e.g., chest/abdomen/pelvis CT).

A list of all the Series.ImageModality values that are actual acquisition modalities, i.e. those in the DICOM Context Group 29 (value set OID 1.2.840.10008.6.1.19).

The requesting/referring physician.

Availability of study (online, offline or nearline).

Who read study and interpreted the images.

Institution-generated description or classification of the Study performed.

Each study has one or more series of image instances.

The Numeric identifier of this series in the study.

The modality of this series sequence.

Formal identifier for this series.

A description of the series.

Number of SOP Instances in Series.

Availability of series (online, offline or nearline).

WADO-RS resource where the Series is available.

Body part examined. See DICOM Part 16 Annex L for the mapping from DICOM to Snomed.

Laterality if bodySite is paired anatomic structure and laterality is not pre-coordinated in bodySite code, map from (0020, 0060).

The date and time when the series was started.

A single SOP Instance within the series, e.g., an image, or presentation state.

The number of this image in the series.

Formal identifier for this image.

DICOM Image type.

A human-friendly SOP Class name.

E.g., 'CT image', 'MR multi-frame', 'blending presentation'.

The description of the instance.

Particularly for post-acquisition analytic objects, such as SR, presentation states, value mapping, etc.

Content of the instance or a rendering thereof (e.g., a JPEG of an image, or an XML of a structured report). May be represented by inline encoding, or by a URL reference to a WADO-RS service that makes the instance available. Multiple content attachments may be used for alternate representations of the instance.

Each instance may have a url and an attachment. Both represent the same information, but using different approaches. The attachment is a reference to a FHIR resource (Media, Document, etc).
