This module provides a URL-based query to a PACS system, retrieving studies according to patient ID and returning a list of matched studies with a collection of queried fields.
The connection to the PACS system should be configured via the pacsquery.pacsConfig OpenMRS globalProperty. Studies can be retrieved by going to http://HOSTIP/openmrs/module/pacsquery/query.form?patientid=204586. Fields can be configured using the pacsquery.retrieveTags globalProperty.
The response JSON is built using the JSONWriter component of dcm4che. What is returned is a list of objects, each object representing a study. Each study is itself a collect of key value pairs, where keys are 8-character strings of DICOM tags. Corresponding values are an object containing "vr" and "Value".
Example:
[
{
"00080005":{
"vr":"CS",
"Value":[
"ISO_IR 100"
]
},
"00080020":{
"vr":"DA",
"Value":[
"20170614"
]
},
...
}

This module was created using the OpenMRS SDK.
You will need to have Java 1.6+ and Maven 2.x+ installed. Use the command 'mvn package' to compile and package the module. The .omod file will be in the omod/target folder.
Alternatively you can add the snippet provided in the Creating Modules page to your omod/pom.xml and use the mvn command:
mvn package -P deploy-web -D deploy.path="../../openmrs-1.8.x/webapp/src/main/webapp"
It will allow you to deploy any changes to your web resources such as jsp or js files without re-installing the module. The deploy path says where OpenMRS is deployed.
- Build the module to produce the .omod file.
- Use the OpenMRS Administration > Manage Modules screen to upload and install the .omod file.
If uploads are not allowed from the web (changable via a runtime property), you can drop the omod into the ~/.OpenMRS/modules folder. (Where ~/.OpenMRS is assumed to be the Application Data Directory that the running openmrs is currently using.) After putting the file in there simply restart OpenMRS/tomcat and the module will be loaded and started.
