Steps

  1. Deploy the dicomweb-adapter Docker image (gcr.io/cloud-healthcare-containers/healthcare-api-dicom-dicomweb-adapter-dicomweb) as a sidecar or standalone container accessible to legacy PACS equipment
  2. Configure the adapter with the Cloud Healthcare API DICOMweb endpoint URL and a service account key or Workload Identity binding that has the roles/healthcare.dicomEditor IAM role
  3. Register the adapter's host, port, and AE title in legacy PACS as a remote DICOM node; the adapter acts as a DIMSE SCP accepting C-FIND and C-STORE from the legacy system
  4. Send a C-FIND request from the legacy PACS to the adapter's AE title; the adapter translates it to a QIDO-RS HTTP request to the Cloud Healthcare API and returns DIMSE C-FIND responses
  5. For C-MOVE, configure the adapter's destination AE mapping so that DICOM instances retrieved from the cloud DICOMweb service are forwarded to the correct legacy PACS via C-STORE
