Abstract: A method and system are a for gesture support system for controlling a cloud-based image processing application. In an embodiment, the system includes an extended touch screen device; a DICOM Appliance including a receiver and an uploader client, adapted for segregating PHI-data and non-confidential image data, and for encrypting PHI-data and sending a data package, including the encrypted PHI-data and non-confidential image data to a cloud server. The cloud server is adapted for processing the medical image data. It receives the data package form the uploader client and decrypts the received data package. A gesture reception unit receives user-specific gesture signals and a mapping unit maps the received user-specific gesture signals to standard gestures and provides the standard gestures to the cloud server for generating control instructions for the image processing.
