Abstract: Provided is a method and apparatus for storing content on a portable computer-readable medium. A computer system receives a request to store a medical image and additional data in a different format on the portable computer-readable medium. The medical image and the additional data to be stored are received in a computer memory, and an association is established between the additional data and the medical image so the additional data is stored with the medical image on the portable computer-readable medium. The medical image and the additional data are stored on the portable computer-readable medium with an application that, when executed by a user computer, grants a user access to both the medical image and the additional data on the portable computer-readable medium.

Abstract: Provided is an apparatus, system and method for protecting medical output to be stored on a portable computer-readable medium. Access to the medical output is restricted and a key is established to grant access to the medical output stored on the portable computer-readable medium. An identifier is assigned to the portable computer-readable medium and stored on both the portable computer-readable medium and a computer memory. The medical output is stored on the portable computer-readable memory, and access to the medical output on the portable computer-readable medium is restricted, requiring the key for accessing and viewing the medical output. The key is also stored in the computer memory and a relationship associating the identifier with the key is established to enable identification of the key with knowledge of the identifier. A security utility and a medical presentation utility can also be stored on the portable computer-readable medium.
