In GNU Health, you can store the information in two ways. We can
either storage the whole DICOM series, or just make a link to the the
DICOMDIR file ( the preferred way ).

I like Aeskulap since it can connect directly to the PACS server is
there is one available. What I would also like to do is to be able to
pass as an argument the DICOMDIR to Aeskulap, you it will open
directly.  when clicking on the patient form. Otherwise, we can use
another viewer.

with the attachment and/or link concept .
