Steps

  1. Create an Azure Health Data Services workspace, then provision both a DICOM service and a FHIR service within it from the Azure portal or via az healthcareapis commands
  2. Register a Microsoft Entra application and assign the DICOM Data Owner role on the DICOM service and FHIR Data Contributor on the FHIR service
  3. Clone the dicom-server GitHub repository and deploy DICOMcast as an Azure Container Instance or Azure Function, supplying connection strings for both services via environment variables
  4. Store a test DICOM instance via STOW-RS to the DICOM service at https://MY_DICOM.dicom.azurehealthcareapis.com/v1/studies and verify the instance is accepted
  5. Query the FHIR service for ImagingStudy resources created by DICOMcast: GET https://MY_FHIR.fhir.azurehealthcareapis.com/ImagingStudy?identifier=urn:dicom:uid|{studyUID}
