Abstract: A system and method for acquiring, hosting and distributing medical images for healthcare professionals. In one illustrative embodiment, the system can include a database for storing private health information split from a medical imaging record. The system can also include a repository for storing at least one anonymized image split from the medical record. The anonymized images are parsed into a schema upon request with the schema provided in response to the request. The schema can define a structure mapping the anonymized images into a study. The personal information can be joined with the anonymized images to form medical imaging records into the study according to the structure. The anonymized images can be parsed into a browser compatible format and metadata associated with the format. The database and the repository can both be provided on cloud services.
