Encapsulated PDF Storage

About this SOP Class

A SOP (Service-Object Pair) Class pairs an Information Object Definition (IOD) with a DIMSE service. In practice it's what two DICOM nodes negotiate when they associate — "I want to send you Encapsulated PDF Storage, are you willing to store it?"

This SOP Class is part of the current DICOM Standard. Its UID identifier is stable and can be referenced in Conformance Statements, SCP/SCU implementations, DICOMweb endpoints (as the SOPClassUID attribute), and Mirth Connect routing conditions.

Information Object Definition

This SOP Class transmits the Encapsulated PDF IOD — 11 modules spanning Patient, Study, Series, Equipment, and Image entities.

Working with Encapsulated PDF Storage

Integrating a new SOP Class into a PACS, VNA, cloud imaging platform, or interoperability engine? Saga IT's medical imaging team runs these deployments end to end. For DIMSE ↔ DICOMweb bridging or legacy-modality onboarding, our Mirth Connect services handle the routing and transformation.
