  • Publication number: 20180247707
    Abstract: A system for delivery of medical images, comprising an operator device to send a request to a delivery service coupled with a data storage system, where the request comprises an identifier. A medical image file in the data storage system comprises meta data associated with the identifier. The medical image file is converted into a format compatible with a determined output modality based on the meta data for a recipient device. The system can include a mobile viewer device to receive a converted medical image file, where the meta data associated with the determined output modality includes device-dependent data in header fields pertaining to the recipient device which is to receive the converted medical image file.

  • Patent number: 10037406
    Abstract: Example described herein are directed to systems and methods for converting and delivering medical images by request. In an example, the system includes a server coupled with a data storage system and a communication interface. The server can receive a conversion request to convert a medical image into a destination format associated with a destination device. The conversion request can include metadata associated with the requested medical image and the destination format. The system can determine whether the requested medical image can be located based at least on the metadata in the conversion request and if the requested medical image is located, load image data associated with the requested medical image from the data storage system in a binary format, convert the binary image data into the destination format, and return the converted medical image as a response to the conversion request via the communication interface.

  • Patent number: 9235605
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automated conversion of medical images and delivery to mobile devices or remote communication systems. Medical images are stored, along with related metadata, at a central location such as a server in a medical data format. A user can then submit a request or query to find the medical images on the server and deliver them to a mobile device or other remote communication system separate from the central location. The medical images are then converted to a standardized format specification based on an output destination type of the mobile device or remote communication system. A message is assembled with the converted medical data from a message template and is then transmitted to the mobile device or remote communication system.
