PACS Integration - PACS Providers

VPOP® PRO, through deep links, supports image imports from URLs. This is a one-way push from your PACS Client Software into VPOP® PRO. To enable this one-way push from your PACS, follow the instructions below.

Overview 

In short, your PACS software client needs to open a link on the user’s computer. The user’s computer, which is also running your PACS Client Software, must have VPOP® PRO installed locally on a Mac or Windows device.

You can introduce a VPOP® PRO button that opens the link and passes a DICOM or JPEG URL as a query parameter. A guided example is shown below:


Here is the deeplink the VPOP® PRO button should open:

vpop://open-image-url/?location=<location>

Example

Your URL must be publicly accessible via the internet and served over HTTPS. For additional security, we strongly recommend you opt to grant temporary access through a pre-signed URL which utilizes query parameters. Let’s assume that you have the following URL for a DICOM file.

▲ DICOM URL: https://vpop-pro.com/dicom.dcm

▲ Temporary DICOM pre-signed URL: https://vpop-pro.com/dicom.dcm?signature=<signature>

 The next step is to percentage-encode this URL so it is can be passed as a query parameter to the VPOP® PRO deep link.

▲ URL-Encoded String of the DICOM URL: https%3A%2F%2Fvpop-pro.com%2Fdicom.dcm

Finally, pass the URL-encoded string to the deep link as the value for the location query parameter.

vpop://open-image-url/?location=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vpop-pro.com%2Fdicom.dcm

As long as your user has VPOP® PRO installed on the their computer and their computer is able to retrieve the content from the URL, they will be able to import the DICOM or JPEG file. On some devices, the user may need to have the VPOP® PRO application open in the background.

Extra Notes:

As long as the deep link is accessible over HTTPS by a machine that has VPOP® PRO installed on it, the user will be able to import the DICOM or JPEG image.

Technically speaking, the PACS client software doesn't need to be running on the user's machine. For example, if someone shared a deep link with another person on WhatsApp, the other person could paste it into Chrome on their computer or open the link in another way. The computer will also be able to import the DICOM or JPEG file over HTTPS into VPOP.

 

We strongly encourage that this is implemented using pre-signed URLs which grant temporary access using signatures or tokens for maximum security.
