Medical Imaging Protocol

DICOM Connector

Native DICOM protocol support for medical imaging integration. Connect PACS, modalities, and AI platforms without writing custom DICOM code.

The Challenge

DICOM integration is complex

Protocol Complexity

DICOM is a 30-year-old binary protocol with complex association negotiation, transfer syntaxes, and service classes.

Custom Code Required

Building DICOM integrations typically requires specialised libraries, deep protocol knowledge, and months of development.

Security Gaps

Legacy DICOM implementations often lack encryption, proper authentication, and audit trails required for compliance.

The Solution

DICOM as configuration

Harmony's DICOM connector handles protocol complexity so you can focus on your integration logic. Define pipelines in configuration, not code.

Protocol Translation

Convert DICOM to JSON, DICOMweb, or custom formats using declarative JOLT transforms.

Metadata Extraction

Extract DICOM tags into structured JSON for downstream processing and routing decisions.

TLS Encryption

Secure DICOM connections with TLS 1.2/1.3 for data in transit protection.

Audit Logging (coming soon)

Comprehensive logging of all DICOM operations for compliance and troubleshooting.

DIMSE Operations

Full DICOM service class support

Act as Service Class Provider (SCP) or Service Class User (SCU) for all standard DICOM operations.

C-STORE

Receive and forward DICOM images from modalities, PACS, and other sources.

Example: Accept imaging studies from CT scanners, MRI machines, or workstations.

C-FIND

Query DICOM servers for studies, series, and instances matching specific criteria.

Example: Search for patient studies by date, modality, or accession number.

C-GET

Retrieve DICOM objects from a remote server over the same connection.

Example: Pull specific imaging studies for processing or analysis.

C-MOVE

Instruct a remote server to send DICOM objects to a specified destination.

Example: Route studies from PACS to workstations or AI processing pipelines.
