Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a method of retrieving radiographic images including interfacing with a storage system containing radiographic images. Some of the radiographic images have data representative of an image modality. A method further includes determining at least one filter corresponding to a filter modality. Each filter may be independently determinable from other filters. Additionally, a method includes pre-fetching at least one radiographic image using the filter, wherein the image modality of the at least one radiographic image corresponds to the filter modality.

Abstract: A method for enabling client side batch printing in a computer network environment wherein system users subscribe to specific report types and request delivery or printing of those reports at specific times, a server monitors the time and when the time corresponding to a specific report or group of reports occurs, accesses the data necessary to assemble the reports, places the reports in a printer-friendly format, compresses the reports for transmission and stores the compressed reports, provides notice to the system user that the reports are ready for printing and provides a deliver selector, monitors the delivery selector for activation and, when the delivery selector is activated, causes the compressed reports to be transmitted to a browser running on a workstation used by the user, decompresses the reports and prints out each one of the reports in a printer-friendly format.

Abstract: A method and a system for providing remote access to scanner utilization or diagnostic imaging reports generated by a computer system having access to a database of collected scanner operational data. Preferably, the reports are delivered over a wide-area network, e.g. the Internet, in response to requests for access from customers. In particular, the system includes a graphical user interface which allows the user to specify all of the report content parameters and display the report on a single screen. The report content parameters section of the screen allows the user to identify the facility, organization area (i.e., department), equipment, time dimension, time frame, metrics and data slices that the user wants included in the report. The report produced will contain the information currently in the database, which information is updated daily.
