N.5.3.2.2 Retrieve supported transaction (WADO-RS)

The Studies Web Service Retrieve Transaction is also known as WADO-RS.

N.5.3.2.2.1 User Agent

The Retrieve Transaction user agent can request resources listed in Table N.5-72:

[List the supported resources for your Retrieve Transaction user agent. Remove the non-supported resources rows. Fill in specific details on your implementation in the in the "Comments" column, when necessary.]

[If rendering of thumbnails is supported, provide a high-level description of the method used for rendering thumbnails for the study, series, or instance.

For example, the description could indicate whether a representative instance is chosen from a series, and how that instance is selected, or that per-modality fixed content is used.]

The Retrieve Transaction user agent supports the Query Parameters listed in Table N.5-73.

[Include a row in the table for each parameter your user agent is able to send, including parameters always sent and parameters optionally sent. Remove the rows for parameters your user agent is not able to send. See Section 8.3.5 in PS3.18 for the list of Rendering Query Parameters.

For each row, indicate in the Supported Values column specific Values your user agent may send and/or a description of how the Value is populated. The "Comments" column may be used to explain details of your implementation that may be useful to integrators, such as:

  • Whether and how Values are configurable

  • Situations when the parameter may or may not be sent, or when specific Values may be used

  • How the Accept Query Parameter is intended to relate to the Accept Header Field

  • Other idiosyncrasies of the implementation

N.5.3.2.2.2 Origin Server

The Retrieve Transaction origin server receives GET requests to retrieve specific studies, series or instances.

The user agent specifies the Target Resource as part of the URI and the acceptable response Content-Type in the HTTP Header (i.e., dicom, dicom+xml, dicom+json, octet-stream, compressed pixel data).

The URI is composed by a Base URI: see Section N.6.3.2.1 for the Base URI of the origin server

The Retrieve Transaction origin server supports resources listed in Table N.5-75.
