In this tutorial, we will use MergeContent to group and compress DICOM files into a ZIP archive, then send the ZIP file to a third-party application using InvokeHTTP. This ensures efficient data transfer and integration with external systems via a REST API. The MergeContent processor is configured here to group DICOM files and create a […]
In this demo, we are using nifi-dicom processor (download nar extension file from here) adds DICOM features to Apache’s NiFi package. The new Processors reside in a nar file and extend NiFi with several new processors. After adding the nar extension to your NiFi server, grab the following processor from them menu: Link the processor […]
Start by dragging the GetSFTP (or FetchSFTP) processor onto your canvas. This processor securely connects to your SFTP server, enabling NiFi to retrieve ZIP files containing the DICOM images. Double-click on the processor, go to settings tab, and name it “Get Dicom ZIP from SFTP” or whatever you feel suitable. We recommend user-friendly names for […]
Efficient management of DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) data is essential in modern healthcare. However, manually handling large volumes of medical imaging files is time-consuming and prone to errors. Apache NiFi addresses this challenge by providing a robust, user-friendly platform to automate the entire DICOM data flow—from retrieving files on an SFTP server […]
