Metadata normalization

When you import your DICOM P10 data into AWS HealthImaging, it is transformed into image sets comprised of metadata and image frames (pixel data). During the transformation process, HealthImaging metadata keys are generated based on a specific version of the DICOM standard. HealthImaging currently generates and supports metadata keys based on the DICOM PS3.6 2022b Data Dictionary.

AWS HealthImaging supports the following DICOM data elements at the Patient, Study, and Series levels.
