Previews
NetX natively supports the previewing of DICOM files, ones that have the extension ".dcm", or ".dicom".
Metadata
NetX supports the extraction of the XMP DICOM metadata set:
| XML tag | Type |
|---|---|
PatientID |
String |
PatientName |
String |
PatientSex |
String |
SeriesDateTime |
Date |
SeriesDescription |
String |
SeriesModality |
String |
SeriesNumber |
String |
StudyDateTime |
Date |
StudyDescription |
String |
StudyID |
String |
StudyPhysician |
String |
EquipmentInstitution |
String |
EquipmentManufacturer |
String |
PatientBirthDate |
Date |
Here's an example of how this data is displayed within NetX:
Embedded metadata sync
The tags above can be mapped — like other XMP tags — to specific NetX Attribute fields:
Known limitations
While NetX can normally extract embedded metadata from DICOM files, it is not able to render previews for DICOM files that contain JPEG2000 image data. These have a TransferSyntaxUID of one of the following:
- 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.90
- 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.91
- 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.92

Configuration
There is no required configuration for enabling DICOM support in NetX. However, if for some reason you want to disable DICOM support, please add the following property:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
engine.dicom.enabled |
This is automatically enabled by default, even if the property is not present. Value options: true / false |
