v1
Feature

General availability: Filtered export of DICOM data using filterConfig is now generally available (GA) in Cloud Healthcare API v1. You can supply a Cloud Storage URI (resourcePathsGcsUri) containing a newline-delimited list of DICOMweb resource paths (studies/<studyUID>[/series/<seriesUID>[/instances/<instanceUID>]]) in projects.locations.datasets.dicomStores.export to export targeted subsets of DICOM data rather than the entire DICOM store. For more information, see Exporting DICOM instances using filters.
