  • Patent number: 11579763
    Abstract: A system and method for performing image scrolling are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system for image scrolling organizes each set of related images as a series object. The system writes selected images from one of the series objects, from the image cache to the frame buffer, for image scrolling on a display. A garbage collection module performs garbage collection in the image cache. The garbage collection module operates on memory space where a series object is released or can be moved, for reclaiming memory. The image scrolling is smoother than if the garbage collection module were to track and operate on each image as an object.

  • Patent number: 11430563
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for configuring and displaying a user interface with healthcare studies. In one embodiment, the method comprises accessing user-specified configuration information for configuring a first user interface of a medical image management system, the first user interface to display a list of healthcare studies including one or more unread healthcare studies; and creating the first user interface with the list of healthcare studies with priority information for the one or more unread healthcare studies, including determining the priority information, according to the user-specified configuration information, for at least one unread healthcare study in the list based on findings that result from performing automated image analysis on one or more of the images in said at least one unread healthcare study.

  • Patent number: 11342065
    Abstract: A method for transferring and rendering a medical image record, including, receiving, at a workstation of a first user, a subscription to a worklist, the worklist including a Study list having one or more Studies, each Study including at least one Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (“DICOM”) image; pre-rendering and compressing, by one or more computing devices, at least one DICOM image associated with each Study on the Study list; transferring, from the one or more computing devices to the workstation, one or more pre-rendered and compressed DICOM images; receiving, at the workstation, a request to view at least one pre-rendered and compressed DICOM image; decompressing, at the workstation, at least one requested pre-rendered and compressed DICOM image; rendering, at the workstation, at least one decompressed DICOM image; and displaying at least one rendered DICOM image at the workstation.

  • Patent number: 11194461
    Abstract: A system and method for performing image scrolling are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system for image scrolling determines the scroll rate for image scrolling. The scroll rate is based on selection of a scroll rate range, through a user input device, and is further based on movement indicated by the user input device. The system writes a sequence of images from the image cache to the frame buffer for image scrolling on the display at the determined scroll rate.

  • Patent number: 11170889
    Abstract: A system and method for performing smooth image scrolling are disclosed. In one embodiment, the system comprises: a network communication interface to receive images of a healthcare study; an image cache memory to cache the images; one or more processors coupled to the network connection interface and the memory and configured to dynamically change playback behavior for navigating through images of the healthcare study based on analyzing historical user inputs made with one or more user input devices while a user is navigating through the images; and a display coupled to the one or more processors to display the images in a viewport.
