New Resource: Thumbnail

The Thumbnail resource provides imaging and non-imaging systems with a method to quickly retrieve an image that represents the parent DICOM resource.

What is a Thumbnail?

• A small rendered image that represents its parent DICOM

resource

• The origin server is responsible for determining what

constitutes a small representative image. It could be:

• The first Instance in a CR study
• The Instance in a CT study (non-scout series), located 1/3 of the way through the series
• A generic graphical representation of a CT scanner to represent a CT study
• A generic graphical representation of a page of test to represent a Structured Report

Instance

• An Instance referenced in a Key Object Selection
• A still frame of a video Instance
