# FHIR ImagingStudy **Entity class:** Publication or research result **Domain:** Health Informatics / Clinical Imaging **Doc Type:** Technical Standard Node **Maturity:** Trial Use in FHIR R5 **Related:** [[DICOM]], [[wiki/Brain Imaging Data Structure|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) ## Neurotech cluster route **Collection:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] **Source articles:** [[articles/The Architecture of Continuity and Emerging Neuroinformatics Standards|The Architecture of Continuity and Emerging Neuroinformatics Standards]] ## Relationships [[wiki/FHIR ImagingStudy|FHIR ImagingStudy]] is related to [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] through [[articles/The Architecture of Continuity and Emerging Neuroinformatics Standards|The Architecture of Continuity and Emerging Neuroinformatics Standards]]. <!-- BEGIN HUMANIZED RELATIONSHIPS 2026-09-11 --> This entry's documented connections are expressed in its definition and related-work routes, with provenance retained in the source-linked material. <!-- END HUMANIZED RELATIONSHIPS 2026-09-11 --> ## Related Work in the Corpus <!-- BEGIN HUMANIZED CORPUS ROUTES 2026-09-11 --> - In [[articles/The Architecture of Continuity and Emerging Neuroinformatics Standards|The Architecture of Continuity and Emerging Neuroinformatics Standards]], ****2\.
