# FHIR ImagingStudy **Domain:** Health Informatics / Clinical Imaging **Doc Type:** Technical Standard Node **Maturity:** Trial Use in FHIR R5 **Related:** [[DICOM]], [[Brain Imaging Data Structure]], [[Neurodata Without Borders]] --- ## Definition **FHIR ImagingStudy** is an HL7 FHIR resource representing the content and retrieval context of a DICOM imaging study, including its series, modalities, identifiers, subject, endpoints, and SOP instances. It describes and references imaging content; it does not normally embed all DICOM instances inside the resource. ## Architectural role ImagingStudy connects imaging records to the clinical-resource graph around patients, encounters, diagnostic reports, procedures, and access endpoints. Mapping that clinical context into research formats can support longitudinal analysis without erasing source provenance. ## Primary source - [HL7 FHIR R5 ImagingStudy](https://hl7.org/fhir/imagingstudy.html)
