Abstract: A system and method for providing efficient DICOM image transfer and PPS information management in a mobile RAD system. Various aspects of the present invention provide a method that comprises a mobile RAD system performing radiology examination activities (e.g., including acquiring X-ray image and/or PPS information). Such performance of radiology examination activities may, for example and without limitation, comprise utilizing a command protocol similar to that utilized on a fixed RAD station. While performing such examination activities, it is determined whether there is a network connection between the mobile RAD system and a hospital system. Such hospital systems may, for example, comprise a PACS, HIS and/or RIS. If it is determined that there is a network connection between the mobile RAD system and the hospital system, image information and/or PPS information stored in the mobile RAD system is automatically transferred to the hospital system (i.e., without human intervention).
