Web-based Image Capture (WIC) enables a device to use DICOM RESTful API to send imaging objects to an Image Manager.
Summary
The Web-based Image Capture (WIC) Profile provides a simple, lightweight, mobile-friendly mechanism to encode and send DICOM encapsulated images, videos and evidence documents from the mobile device to the Image Manager so that these objects can be easily integrated into the rest of the imaging workflow.
Benefits
- Provides a mechanism to send fully DICOM compliant imaging objects using DICOM RESTful API (STOW-RS)
- Ease the adoption of non-traditional DICOM devices (e.g. mobile devices) to send imaging objects to the existing image sharing infrastructure (PACS, VNA, etc.)
- Support metadata enhancement and data conversion by the Image Manager for certain types of objects
Problem Statement

Systems Affected
- Image Capturer (e.g. mobile tablet, medical camera, etc.) that captures imaging objects
- Image Manager (e.g. PACS, VNA) that receives imaging objects from Image Capturer via DICOM RESTful API and converts to DICOM object in binary format
