6.3 WADO-URI Response (Current)
Prev | 6 Data Communication Requirements | Next

## 6.3 WADO-URI Response

The response shall be an HTTP Response Message as specified in [RFC7230].

### Note

The content of the message-body varies according to the Media type as defined below.

### 6.3.1 Body of Single DICOM MIME Subtype Part Response

#### 6.3.1.1 Media Type

The media type shall be 'application/dicom', as specified in [RFC3240].

#### 6.3.1.2 Payload

The body content shall be a DICOM File that includes File Meta Information as defined in PS3.10.

#### 6.3.1.3 Transfer Syntax

Since the Selected Media Type is a DICOM Media Type, the representations in the response shall be encoded using the Selected Transfer Syntax. See Section 6.1.1.8.4.

The WADO-URI service supports Rendered Media Types (see Section 6.1.1.3) or the uri-media-type (see Section 6.1.1.8.5).

The transfer-syntax and charset media type parameters are forbidden in the request.

### Note

WADO-URI user agents may not depend on the presence of transfer syntax and charset media type parameters, since these have been absent since the inception of the service and are forbidden, even though this is different from the approach used by the later introduced WADO-RS service, which returns transfer-syntax and charset media type parameters in the response. The Transfer Syntax used can be determined from the PS3.10 File Meta Information.
