Abstract: The preferred embodiments described herein provide a method and system for monitoring confidential information in a medical records system. The monitoring may occur when the data is transferred in the medical records system, such as inputting data into the medical records system, outputting data from the medical records system, displaying data on the medical records system, or saving data in the medical records system. The method and system for monitoring confidential information may extract a portion of data transferred, compare the portion of data with a predetermined sequence in a database, determine whether the portion of data comprises patient information based on the comparison, and modify the portion of data if it comprises patient information. Extracting a portion of data may comprise parsing the data or may comprise reading a structured form. Further, comparing the portion of data with a predetermined sequence may comprise comparing the portion of data with a predetermined format.

Abstract: A method and system is disclosed which permits a user to save user defined viewing configuration, also referred to as a bookmark as a separately manipulatable or transferable entity without altering the underlying image data and maintaining, where desired, the association between the bookmark 200 and the underlying source image data. The disclosed system and method act to save the bookmark by saving the succession of system inputs, which, in conjunction with the system characteristics and system parameters, achieve the desired viewing configuration. Thereby, the disclosed system and method permits review of the inputs used to manipulate the image to confirm the process by which a diagnosis or anatomical measurement was made, permits the replay of a sequence for presentation or training purposes to effectively demonstrate not only the end result, but the methodology as well.

Abstract: A method for migrating presets between medical diagnostic imaging system platforms is presented in which a preset for a first medical diagnostic imaging system platform is provided to a preset translator. The preset translator translates the preset to a second medical diagnostic imaging system platform, and the translated preset is implemented on a medical diagnostic imaging system comprising the second medical diagnostic imaging system platform. A system and method for sharing medical diagnostic imaging system presets are also presented. The system comprises a server and first and second medical diagnostic imaging systems in communication with the server. A medical diagnostic imaging system preset is sent from the first medical diagnostic imaging system to the server, and the preset is stored in the server.
