Accessing Orthanc Study Image Preview via a FHIR Resource

Through the UI & documentation I can see that Orthanc is able to provide a single image preview of a study. Is there any way to access this image in binary format through either of Orthanc’s available FHIR resources (Endpoint, ImageStudy, Patient).

Hello,

As prescribed in the FHIR ImagingStudy resource, you have to use DICOMweb to access the pixel data of an imaging study.

Given the Study Instance UID, the Series Instance UID, and the SOP Instance UID that are part of the FHIR ImagingStudy resource, you can call the WADO-RS “retrieve rendered instance” route of Orthanc. For instance:

$ curl https://orthanc.uclouvain.be/demo/dicom-web/studies/2.16.840.1.113669.632.20.1211.10000357775/series/1.3.46.670589.11.0.0.11.4.2.0.8743.5.5396.2006120114262848496/instances/1.3.46.670589.11.0.0.11.4.2.0.8743.5.5396.2006120114290875518/rendered > image.jpeg
