Healthlake Imaging in Preview stage

Question

Got access to Healthlake imaging preview after making a request to AWS (In the preview stage, the service is not available in console, so I am working on CLI.)
--> Able to create, list and delete Healthlake-imaging datastores. 
--> But when trying to start an import job, the keyword 'health-imaging' is not recognized in CLI and cloudshell. PS: Healthlake imaging is a service available only in Preview stage in US-East-1 and I have done all configurations from the same region.

It would be helpful if anyone could provide any input on it. Thanks in advance.

**AWS HealthImaging** was made generally available with the [July 25, 2023 announcement](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/industries/introducing-aws-healthimaging/) and the AWS CLI versions greater than or equal to v1.29.6 and v2.13.3 can be used referencing [the documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/healthimaging/).

If the AWS CLI is less than these versions, please [upgrade](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/getting-started-install.html).

----
*NOTE: When using AWS Cloud9 , if the `sudo yum upgrade awscli` command does not upgrade to a sufficient version, get the latest using `python -m pip install awscli --upgrade --user`*

Then either:

* make sure the `~/.local/bin` (default user installation path for Python) is before yum's installation location `/usr/bin/aws`:
```bash
% export PATH=~/.local/bin:$PATH                        # for the shell
% PATH=~/.local/bin:$PATH aws medical-imaging help      # or prior to the `aws` command
```
or

* use the upgraded package directly:
```bash
% python -m awscli medical-imaging help
```
