Getting DICOM instance metadata from HealthImaging
Use the GetDICOMInstanceMetadata action to retrieve the metadata from a DICOM instance in a HealthImaging
data store by specifying the Series, Study, and Instance UIDs associated with the resource. You can specify the
image set from which instance resource metadata should be retrieved by providing the image set ID as a query parameter.
