Abstract: A method for continuous data transfer is provided. Data blocks are generated from a continuous data stream captured via a physiological monitoring device by segmenting data from the continuous data stream into the data blocks. A time at which the data associated with each data block occurs is determined and a sample number is associated with each data block. The data blocks are transmitted from the physiological monitoring device to a server. The data blocks are ordered on the server based on the time and the sample number associated with each data block.

Abstract: A system for facilitating a cardiac rhythm disorder diagnosis is provided. A download station is adapted to retrieve cutaneous action potentials of a patient recorded as ECG data. A plot of R-R interval data is generated based on the ECG data and displayed. A presentation of the R-R interval data in the display is changed by identifying a section of the R-R interval data and removing portions of the R-R interval data associated with an earlier recordation time than the R-R interval data in the section and a later recordation time than the R-R interval data in the section. The R-R interval data remaining in the display is provided in greater detail. Report strips are generated from the remaining R-R interval data and classified with a cardiac condition of the patient.

Abstract: A system for facilitating a cardiac rhythm disorder diagnosis with the aid of a digital computer is provided. A download station retrieves cutaneous action potentials of a patient by an ECG monitoring and recording device as ECG data. An R-R interval plot of the ECG data includes heart rates associated with R-R intervals plotted along a y-axis of the plot with respect to time, with time represented by an x-axis. The R-R intervals are calculated as a difference between recording times of successive pairs of R-wave peaks and each heart rate is associated with each time difference. Runs of the R-R intervals in the plot are identified and each run represents a cardiac event. Cardiac rhythm measurements are automatically calculated and occurrences of different types of the cardiac events are tracked. One or more of the cardiac events and the cardiac rhythm measurements are reported.

Abstract: A system for facilitating a cardiac rhythm disorder diagnosis with the aid of a digital computer is provided. A download station retrieves cutaneous action potentials of a patient recorded over a time by an ECG device as ECG data. An R-R interval plot of the ECG data includes R-R intervals plotted along an x-axis of the plot and heart rates associated with the R-R intervals plotted along a y-axis. The R-R intervals are calculated as a difference between recording times of successive pairs of R-wave peaks. Each heart rate is associated with each time difference. One or more portions of the R-R intervals are identified in the plot. Each portion of the R-R intervals includes a cardiac event. Report strips are generated and each includes one portion of the R-R intervals and a portion of the ECG data. The report strips are included in a cardiac report for the patient.

Abstract: A system provides methods to significantly improve the efficiency of reading medical image data. The workflow panel provides a grouping of tasks for reviewing and comparing medical images. Tablets are created for each task, consolidating the tools and associated hanging protocols to efficiently perform the actions for that task. The 3D navigation point keeps the current spatial focus point within the field of view as the user transitions between series, orientations, hanging protocols, and zoom levels. The spatial zoom method provides consistent zooming of series with varying fields of view and spatial resolution. Having the ability to overlay the parametric map on any series, regardless of its orientation or field of view, allows the user to correlate the parametric map with features on the non-temporal series. Integrating all of these methods with the workflow panel allows users to quickly step through the tasks in a workflow with minimal user actions.

Abstract: A system for the automatic generation of custom report viewing utilizes imaging data and computer-aided detection technology to identify cancerous tumors. A typical collection of data from a patent's scan may include hundreds of images and associated data. The custom report viewer allows one physician, such as a radiologist, to analyze the data and prepare a report. The generated report may contain images, computed measurements, classifications based on a standard (such as the ACR BI-RADS for Breast MR), and locations relative to landmarks. Different physicians, such as an oncologist or a surgeon, may have need of differing images and supporting data for their own purposes. Each physician may select, in advance, custom selection criteria that are stored in association with that physician. A report generator module uses the stored selection criteria and report filtering to extract the images and supporting data specified by the particular physician.
