Study query root

There are several attributes that you can use in the study, series, and image levels of a study query.

The following sections describe the search attributes that you can use in the levels of a study query. Search attributes can be specified either as numeric DICOM tags or as descriptive names. Search results that are propagated by the node are always returned with DICOM numeric tags.

Study level

The study-level attributes that can be included in a study query root request are described in the following table.
Attribute name Mandatory DICOM tag
StudyDate No 00080020
