# Starting an import job
<a name="start-dicom-import-job"></a>

Use the `StartDICOMImportJob` action to start a [pixel data verification check](pixel-data-verification.md) and bulk data import into an AWS HealthImaging [data store](getting-started-concepts.md#concept-data-store). The import job imports DICOM P10 files located in the Amazon S3 input bucket specified by the `inputS3Uri` parameter. The import job processing results are stored in the Amazon S3 output bucket specified by the `outputS3Uri` parameter.

**Note**  
Keep the following points in mind before starting an import job:  
HealthImaging supports importing DICOM P10 files with different transfer syntaxes. Some files retain their original transfer syntax encoding during import, while others are transcoded to HTJ2K lossless by default or JPEG 2000 Lossless depending on your datastore configuration. For more information, see [Supported transfer syntaxes](supported-transfer-syntaxes.md).
HealthImaging supports data imports from Amazon S3 buckets located in other [supported Regions](endpoints-quotas.md#endpoints). To achieve this functionality, provide the `inputOwnerAccountId` parameter when starting an import job. For more information, see [Cross-account import for AWS HealthImaging](cross-account-imports.md).
HealthImaging applies length constraints to specific DICOM elements during import. For more information, see [DICOM element constraints](dicom-element-constraints.md).

The following menus provide a procedure for the AWS Management Console and code examples for the AWS CLI and AWS SDKs. For more information, see [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/healthimaging/latest/APIReference/API_StartDICOMImportJob.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/healthimaging/latest/APIReference/API_StartDICOMImportJob.html) in the *AWS HealthImaging API Reference*.

**To start an import job**  
Choose a menu based on your access preference to AWS HealthImaging.

## AWS Console
<a name="code-example-console-import-job-start"></a>

1. Open the HealthImaging console [Data stores page](https://console.aws.amazon.com/medical-imaging/home#/dataStores).

1. Choose a data store.

1. Choose **Import DICOM data**.

   The **Import DICOM data** page opens.

1. Under the **Details** section, enter the following information:
   + **Name** (optional)
   + **Import source location in S3**
   + **Source bucket owner's account ID** (optional)
   + **Encryption key** (optional)
   + **Output destination in S3**

1. Under the **Service access** section, choose **Use an existing service role** and select the role from the **Service role name** menu or choose **Create and use a new service role**.

1. Choose **Import**.
