- Abstract
- FHIR has quickly emerged as the most important standard for the interoperability of clinical data. FHIR includes support for medical imaging through its "ImagingStudy" resource that can be used to create mappings between FHIR entities and DICOM studies using the DICOMweb protocol. Unfortunately, there is currently a lack of openly available software implementation combining FHIR with DICOM, which hinders the development of new applications linking clinical data with imaging data. In this paper, the Orthanc server for medical imaging is associated with the HAPI framework in a consistent framework to propose an implementation of the "ImagingStudy" FHIR resource that is tightly coupled with the content of a DICOM server. The resulting framework is released as free and open-source software, with the goals of promoting support for medical imaging in FHIR, of sharing technological knowledge about medical interoperability, and of providing a test environment for developing new healthcare-related applications.
