AWS HealthImaging announces study-level fine-grained access control

AWS HealthImaging now supports fine-grained access control, enabling organizations to securely manage access to medical imaging data at the DICOM study and series levels. Medical imaging workflows are typically organized around DICOM studies, which are stored in AWS HealthImaging as one or more image set resources. Now customers can easily grant users access to all image sets for a set of DICOM Studies or Series with easy-to-maintain IAM policies.

Customers can now grant permissions for DICOMweb APIs using DICOM Study Instance UIDs and Series Instance UIDs directly in their IAM policies, eliminating the need to list individual image set ARNs. Customers can now create dynamic, temporary access grants using AWS Security Token Service (STS) session policies with low-latency authentication. This capability provides enhanced protection for Protected Health Information (PHI) by scoping access grants to specific Studies or Series rather than entire data stores. This launch better supports use cases such as pathologist case-level access, radiology study sharing with external partners, and controlled research data distribution. To learn more, see the AWS HealthImaging Developer Guide.

AWS HealthImaging is a HIPAA-eligible service that empowers healthcare providers, life sciences organizations, and their software partners to store, analyze, and share medical images. AWS HealthImaging is generally available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Europe (Ireland), and Europe (London).
