Use DICOM nodes
in a message flow to locate, process, and transfer DICOM images.
You can process and manage Digital Imaging Communications in Medicine (DICOM) images in a message flow by using a combination of one
or more DICOMInput, DICOMOutput and DICOMFindMove nodes, which are included in IBM Integration Bus Healthcare
Pack. Use these nodes with the built-in nodes provided in IBM Integration Bus to develop integration solutions that meet your requirements.
To use the data from DICOM images in message flows,
complete the following steps:
- Collect connection information about any DICOM Service Class User
(SCU) nodes that will access your message flow, and any DICOM Picture Archiving Communications
Systems (PACS), or other DICOM Service
Class Provider (SCP) nodes, that will be accessed by your message
flow. This connection information includes the host name,
port number, and Application Entity Title (AET).
- Create a message flow and add the appropriate DICOM nodes. For
information about the DICOM nodes
and their purposes, see DICOM nodes in message flows.
- Optional: If you are using a DICOMInput node in your message
flow, create a configurable service to define the acceptable presentation
contexts and transfer syntax groups that can be used to receive images
from SCU nodes. See Configuring the presentation contexts accepted by a DICOMInput node.
- Complete your message flow. For more information about developing integration solutions, see
Developing message flows in the IBM Integration Bus product
documentation.
Next:
Test and debug your integration solution to verify that it functions correctly. See Testing and troubleshooting
message flows in the IBM Integration Bus product
documentation.
