Abstract: This invention provides methods of capturing, transporting, and reporting video patient studies using electronic networks. A medical image reporting system may include a data harvester that receives digital video clips for review by a radiologist, cardiologist, or other specialist, an application that provides a convenient user interface for the user to create diagnosis statements and Digital Imaging and Communications (“DICOM”) compatible data, an overview engine that allows review of the report statements and correction of entries, and a data packager that packages and transports the preliminary report, video clips, and/or patient information electronically to a data center, which then offers electronic access to authorized physicians and specialists located remotely. Some embodiments involve the use a foot pedal or other foot-operated component to trigger or otherwise control the capture of video images.
