How to know that the last instance has already been stored?

Hello everyone, I am working on a script that is in charge of alerting each time a new series is stored, I would like to know if DICOM WEB has any parameter that tells me when the last instance of a series has been stored.

There is no way to check for completeness of a study / series received by the archive i.e. additional objects belonging to this study / series shall be stored or not. Normally, objects of a series are sent together and not separately. However, a user may choose to upload bulkdata files or choose to copy/move objects from one study / series to another, in which case the objects of a previously sent series gets incremented.

Archive has functions whereby it can notify other systems on receive of objects. See

• Instance Availability Notification
• Synchronizing external HL7 receivers on receive of studies
• Forwarding of received instances
