What is the most efficient resource(s) to submit images through FHIR? If using resource Binary to move images in binary form, will the core json syntax break the code? Please advise, thanks.
I need to display a body image on an electronic form, let the user marks different parts of body to indicate pain points, upon which user will submit the eform with the marked body image. This image needs to be re-display for changes or review.
Resource ImagingStudy is for DICOM which is not quite the body image that I need to work on.

DocumentReference would be where you put all the metadata you want to save. save as much or as little as you want/need

I am not sure if this will help you, but if i remember correctly, i used the FHIR resource DocumentReference to link different resources together.
Next, I attached my document to the FHIR resource Binary. Then i referenced this Binary resource in the FHIR resource Attachment which i referenced in my DocumentReference resource.
