  • Article

In this quickstart, you learn how to deploy the DICOM® service by using the Azure portal.

After deployment completes, you can use the Azure portal to see the details about the DICOM service, including the service URL. The service URL used to access your DICOM service is https://<workspacename-dicomservicename>.dicom.azurehealthcareapis.com. Make sure to specify the API version as part of the URL when you make requests. For more information, see API versioning for the DICOM service.
