WADO-RS

Web Access to DICOM Objects by RESTful Services

Updated

WADO-RS is the DICOMweb retrieve service: a GET request on a study, series or instance URL returns the DICOM objects, their metadata or rendered images.

It is the usual way a viewer fetches pixels once a study has been found with QIDO-RS.
