DICOM Tutorial

This tutorial walks new users through their first DICOM interface in QIE: setting up an Application Entity (AE) connection, understanding DICOM tags and node paths, building a passthrough channel that receives DICOM messages and forwards them to another DICOM endpoint, deidentifying patient data before sharing studies, and extracting DICOM tag values into an HL7 result message.
