Introduction This schema defines the DICOM protocol document. Structure Overview Question mark "?" means optional items. Plus "+" means one or more items. Asterisk "*" means zero or more items.

BASE_DOCUMENT_DESCRIPTION? STORAGE+ ATTRIBUTE* DICOM* METADATA* PREVIEW* The preceding element values specify the configuration required by the Oracle DICOM Protocol Adapter Suite to serve DICOM protocol requests based on user tables storing DICOM images and/or metadata. Specify the image transformation options when generating a DICOM image preview. Specify an HTTP WADO link. Specify a column in a table that will be used to store a DICOM image (either as ORDDicom or BLOB). Specify a column in a table that will be used to store an XML-based representation of the DICOM metadata corresponding to a DICOM image (as XMLType). Specify a column in a table will be used to store a non-DICOM image (JPEG, TIFF, etc.) representation of a DICOM image (as ORDImage or BLOB). Specify a column in a table will be used to store a value corresponding to a given DICOM metadata tag. Specify a column in a table will be used to store a value corresponding to a given DICOM metadata tag name. Specify the DICOM mapping documents for extracting metadata of those DICOM stored in BLOB Specify a column in a table will be used to store a WADO link. Specify the columns of a user table where DICOM images and/or metadata are stored. When the corresponding instance of the Oracle DICOM Protocol Adapter Suite receives a new image to store in Oracle Database, it will populate the given columns of the specified user table. Likewise, when the Oracle Protocol Adapter Suite serves a DICOM query (usually C-FIND or C-MOVE), it will search the given columns of the specified user table in order to return the DICOM image data or metadata requested by the remote user. Specify the user tables where DICOM images and/or metadata are stored that are accessible to the Oracle DICOM Protocol Adapter Suite. Each "STORAGE" tag corresponds to a table where DICOM images and/or metadata are stored.
