Resource Profile: SMART WADO-RS Endpoint

Official URL: http://fhir.org/argonaut/smart-imaging/StructureDefinition/smart-wado-endpoint Version: 0.1.0
Draft as of 2026-08-21 Computable Name: SmartWadoEndpoint

A DICOM WADO-RS endpoint referenced from a SMART ImagingStudy.

The address is a WADO-RS base URL: the app appends /studies/{Study Instance UID} (and optionally deeper paths) to retrieve DICOM data. The requires-access-token extension says whether the app presents its SMART access token on those requests.

Usages:

You can also check for usages in the FHIR IG Statistics
