Abstract: A modular service system is provided for a variety of diagnostic system modalities, manufacturers, and types. The system includes a uniform service platform which incorporates components for interfacing with different system types. The interface components include configuration libraries or files identifying the system type, as well as file names, content, locations, and so forth. One or more connectivity modules are provided for accessing and transferring data files from a modality system. The modular service system may be configured to cooperate with one or more such modality systems in a network arrangement. File translators are provided for converting individual files from modality, type or manufacturer-specific formats to more standard formats needed by the service platform.
