# Media

Media (FHIR `Media`) captures clinical images, videos, and audio recordings. Track diagnostic images, wound progression photos, ultrasound recordings, dermatology images, and other clinical media attached to patient encounters.

## Capture a Clinical Image

```ts theme={null}
const { data: image } = await clinik.media.create({
  status: 'completed',
  type: 'image',
  patientId: 'pt_abc123',
  encounterId: 'enc_visit456',
  operatorId: 'prac_dr789',
  bodySite: 'Left knee',
  createdDateTime: '2024-03-15T14:30:00Z',
  height: 1920,
  width: 1080,
  content: {
    contentType: 'image/jpeg',
    url: 'https://storage.example.com/images/knee-xray-001.jpg',
    title: 'Left knee X-ray — AP view',
  },
  note: 'Pre-operative imaging for total knee replacement evaluation',
});
```

## Record a Video

```ts theme={null}
const { data: video } = await clinik.media.create({
  status: 'completed',
  type: 'video',
  patientId: 'pt_abc123',
  encounterId: 'enc_pt_session001',
  operatorId: 'prac_therapist456',
  createdDateTime: '2024-03-15T10:00:00Z',

    title: 'Physical therapy session — gait analysis',
  },
  reasonCode: ['Post-surgical rehabilitation assessment'],
});
```

## Capture an Audio Recording

```ts theme={null}
const { data: audio } = await clinik.media.create({
  status: 'completed',
  type: 'audio',
  patientId: 'pt_abc123',
  operatorId: 'prac_dr789',
  duration: 45,
  content: {
    contentType: 'audio/wav',
    url: 'https://storage.example.com/audio/heart-auscultation-001.wav',
    title: 'Heart auscultation — mitral area',
  },
  bodySite: 'Heart',
  note: 'Grade 2/6 systolic murmur noted at mitral area',
});
```

## Wound Progression Tracking

```ts theme={null}
const { data } = await clinik.media.create({
  status: 'completed',
  type: 'image',
  patientId: 'pt_wound_care001',
  encounterId: 'enc_followup789',
  operatorId: 'prac_nurse456',

    data: '<base64-encoded-image-data>',
    title: 'Wound assessment — week 4 follow-up',
  },
  note: 'Wound size reduced from 4cm to 2.5cm. Granulation tissue present. Healing well.',
  basedOn: ['sr_wound_care_plan001'],
});
```

## Ultrasound with Device Details

```ts theme={null}
const { data } = await clinik.media.create({
  status: 'completed',
  type: 'image',
  modality: 'US',
  view: 'Sagittal',
  patientId: 'pt_prenatal001',
  encounterId: 'enc_ob_visit456',
  operatorId: 'prac_sonographer789',

    title: 'Obstetric ultrasound — 20 week anatomy scan',
  },
  bodySite: 'Abdomen',
});
```

## Search Media

```ts theme={null}
// All media for a patient
const { data } = await clinik.media.search({
  patientId: 'pt_abc123',
});

// Filter by type
const { data: images } = await clinik.media.search({
  patientId: 'pt_abc123',
  type: 'image',
});

// Filter by modality
const { data: ultrasounds } = await clinik.media.search({
  modality: 'US',
});

// Filter by date range
const { data: recent } = await clinik.media.search({
  patientId: 'pt_abc123',
  dateFrom: '2024-01-01',
  dateTo: '2024-12-31',
});
