- question: What is the DICOM service?

answer: The DICOM service is a managed service within [Azure Health Data Services](../healthcare-apis-overview.md) that ingests and persists DICOM objects at multiple thousands of images per second. It facilitates communication and transmission of imaging data with any DICOMweb™ enabled systems or applications via DICOMweb Standard APIs like [Store (STOW-RS)](dicom-services-conformance-statement.md#store-stow-rs), [Search (QIDO-RS)](dicom-services-conformance-statement.md#search-qido-rs), [Retrieve (WADO-RS)](dicom-services-conformance-statement.md#retrieve-wado-rs). It is backed by a managed Platform-as-a Service (PaaS) offering in the cloud with complete [PHI](https://www.hhs.gov/answers/hipaa/what-is-phi/index.html) compliance that you can upload PHI data to the DICOM service and exchange it through secure networks.

- question: What are the key requirements to use the DICOM service?

answer: The DICOM service needs an Azure subscription to configure and run the required components. These components are, by default, created inside of an existing or new Azure Resource Group to simplify management. Additionally, an Azure Active Directory account is required.

The server does not support DICOM DIMSE, which works primarily over a local area network and is unsuited for modern internet-based APIs. DIMSE is an incredibly popular standard used by nearly all medical imaging devices to communicate with other components of a provider’s medical imaging solution, such as PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems) and medical imaging viewers. However, many modern systems, especially PACS and viewers, have begun to also support the related (and compatible) DICOMweb™ Standard. For those systems which only speak DICOM DIMSE, there are adapters available which allow for seamless communication between the local DIMSE-supporting systems and the DICOM service.

The DICOM standards has been fixed at version 3.0 since 1993. However, the standard continues to add both breaking and non-breaking changes through various workgroups.

No single product, including the DICOM service, fully supports the DICOM standard. Instead, each product includes a DICOM Conformance document that specifies exactly what is supported. (Unsupported features are traditionally not called out explicitly.) For more information, see [DICOM Conformance Statement](dicom-services-conformance-statement.md).

DICOM service has versions for the REST API used to access the service. The version is specified as a URL path in the requests. For more information visit the [API Versioning for DICOM service Documentation](./api-versioning-dicom-service.md).
