Abstract: Methods and systems managing protected health information (PHI) on a medical display are provided. The systems and methods detect a plurality of communication links between a medical device and a plurality of remote system and display the medical device and the plurality of remote system as corresponding graphical icons on a display. The systems and methods further determine encryption levels for the plurality of communication links and display connection graphics representing the plurality of communication links. Each connection graphic is positioned between the medical device and one of the remote systems having a visual feature corresponding to an encryption level of a communication link between the medical device and the one of the remote systems.

Abstract: An ultrasound imaging system is provided, including a beamformer in communication with a transducer probe to acquire ultrasound image data for communication by a transceiver. An identity server can include a series of profiles each including a unique identifier of an external environment and a unique predefined system setting of the system. A tracking system can scan for a first tag having a unique identifier of a user of the system and for a second tag having a unique identifier of the patient. The identity server is operable to select a match of one of the series of profiles based on the acquired unique identifier and automatically communicate the profile to the transceiver for automatic activation of the system settings to the ultrasound imaging system.

Abstract: A portable ultrasound imaging system is provided. The system includes a probe for acquiring ultrasound image data. A memory stores the acquired ultrasound image data. A processor generates an image based on the stored ultrasound image data. A presentation layer is provided for remotely accessing the generated image to display the generated image at a remote location.

Abstract: Systems and methods for configuring a medical device are provided. One system includes a computer configured to access a plurality of stored Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) worklists and transmit DICOM worklist information. The system also includes a medical device configured to receive the DICOM worklist information including examination or scan info nation for the medical device and determine a preset configuration for the medical device corresponding to an examination or scan using the examination or scan information. The medical device is further configured to automatically select the preset configuration to set one or more acquisition parameters for the examination or scan.

Abstract: Methods and systems for organizing stored ultrasound data are provided. One method includes displaying selectable anatomical identification guidance information having a plurality of identifiers corresponding to a plurality of anatomical portions of an anatomical region and receiving a user input selecting one of the plurality of identifiers. The method further includes storing a subsequently acquired image and associating the stored image with the anatomical potion of the anatomical region corresponding to the selected identifier.

Abstract: An automatic configuration method and system for medical devices in a healthcare network is disclosed herewith. The method comprises: installing a medical device in a healthcare network. Upon installation, the medical device accesses a server for obtaining configuration information of at least one client in the network. The medical device automatically configures the clients with the medical device, using the obtained configuration information.

Abstract: A method for attaching one or more objects to a data repository is presented. The method includes creating a link corresponding to each of the one or more objects. Furthermore, the method includes attaching the link corresponding to each of the one or more objects to the data repository. Systems and computer-readable medium that afford functionality of the type defined by this method is also contemplated in conjunction with the present technique.

Abstract: A portable medical imaging device includes a user interface configured to receive a user input and a display area on the user interface configured to display medical images. The device also includes a processor module coupled to the user interface, the processor module configured to generate medical information, and a transmitter/receiver configured to receive a wireless signal from a remote medical system and automatically transmit the medical information to the remote medical system in response to the received wireless signal. A medical imaging system including the portable medical imaging device and a method for operating the medical imaging system are also provided.
