Retrospective edition: 2026-03-27. Source published: 2026-03-27. Added to this archive: 2026-11-03. This briefing was prepared later from the linked announcement; it was not published on this website on the historical edition date.

This capability allows precise permissions assignment using DICOM Study and Series Instance UIDs without enumerating individual image set ARNs, simplifying policy management. It supports dynamic temporary access grants through Security Token Service (STS) session policies with low-latency authentication.

By scoping access tightly to specific imaging data subsets, this feature improves protection of Protected Health Information and supports clinical, research, and collaboration workflows requiring controlled data sharing. HealthImaging retains HIPAA eligibility and is available in multiple AWS regions.
