hi
is the endpoint reference the place to send the PACS link for an imaging study? or should it be a different field?

Yes, the endpoint would typically be the PACS server. You should be able to configure WADO, QIDO, or STOW DICOMweb protocols.

The discussion on the ImagingStudy page shows how to use the contents of the resource to put together endpoint info to create the URL used to access the image.

thanks! how do I get to ImagingStudy page to see this discussion? I tried by searching with no success, probably doing something wrong

can Reference element in diagnostic report (link) can also serve for the PACS refernce?
Elliot Silver (Oct 18 2021 at 21:12):
A Reference can stand in for anything that could be identified by a FHIR resource, therefore you could theoretically have a reference to a PACS (as a Device), or a DICOM study (ImagingStudy) provided your exchange partners knew to expect it. I’d rather have the reference actually point to a (minimally) filled out Device or ImagingStudy though, rather than use Reference.identifier.
