Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for storing medical data comprising at least one fixed image, termed a significant image, and a video sequence to which the significant image belongs. The method includes: tagging of at least one significant image in the video sequence acquired; determination of at least one item of time synchronization information, representative of the position of the significant image in the video sequence, as a function of a synchronization reference; generation of at least two medical imaging information objects, according to a predetermined standard, including a first object, termed the video object, and at least one second object, termed the significant image object; and storage and/or transmission of the medical imaging information objects and of the time synchronization information.

Abstract: A method is provided for converting a source document portrayed in a source format and at least one associated metadatum portrayed in the source format or in a format enabling metadata generation in the source format, into at least one destination document portrayed in a destination format. The source format is compliant with a first protocol for exchanging and/or sharing non-image medical documents, and the destination format is compliant with a second protocol for exchanging and/or sharing medical imaging documents. The method includes the following steps: inserting the source document into a first portion of the destination document; transposing the at least one metadatum into transposed data; and inserting the transposed data into a second portion of the destination document that is different from the first portion.
