This class contains an electronic representation of an optical counterpart or appearance of an object along with metadata to help identify, locate, and classify the image. This class is to be used for both clinical images which may be managed using a PACS and for scanned documents and other informal images.
"A single SOP Instance within the series, e.g. an image, or presentation state." - HL7 FHIR, ImagingStudy.series.instance

Attributes
Image	content	An electronic representation of an optical counterpart or appearance of an object. This property contains the binary data of the image.

Integer	instanceNumber	"The number of instance in the series." - HL7 FHIR, ImagingStudy.series.instance.number
String	pacsUID	When an image is created from an external PACS system, this property will contain the unique identifier for the image within that system. "Formal identifier for this image or other content." - HL7 FHIR, ImagingStudy.series.instance.uid
String	sopClass	"DICOM instance type." - HL7 FHIR, ImagingStudy.series.instance.sopClass "SOP class UID of the selected instance." - HL7 FHIR, ImagingManifest.study.series.instance.sopClass Note that in FHIR, the data type for this property is an oid. We may wish to make it a code.
