DICOM and FHIR
summary
Explains how FHIR’s ImagingStudy resource is used to discover studies and link orders, encounters and DiagnosticReport while DICOMweb (QIDO, WADO‑RS retrieve URL, WADO‑URI) supplies the pixel‑level data for post‑processing and viewers. Gives concrete numbers (≈2 trillion DICOM files/year, ~450 PB/year, 4.5 EB archive, doubling every 5 years) and shows building a WADO‑RS call with viewport=50,50 to return a JPEG thumbnail; notes a new thumbnail API and that full fidelity 16‑bit DICOM objects are required for diagnostic workflows.
