  • Patent number: 12238157
    Abstract: A server-side application is provided that transfers images associated with a medical study. The application receives a request to view a medical study. In response, the application opens a WebSocket or a WebTransport communication protocol communication channel between the imaging application and the server-side application. The application retrieves the images associated with medical study and places them into a queue in a priority order based on metadata associated with the study. The application then transfers the images from the queue through the communication channel in priority order. If a change is detected in the priority order (e.g., the user selects a particular image or changes the view of the images), the application may change the priority order of the images that remain in the queue. The application may select a rate to transmit the images based on information about the quality of the connection between the server-side application and the imaging application.
