  • Publication number: 20210151169
    Abstract: A method for remote analysis of one or more medical image records, including: receiving, at a workstation of a first user, a first medical image record; comparing the first medical image record with a standard image set to identify a similarity between the first medical image record and the standard image set; calculating, if the similarity is above a threshold, a delta between the first medical image record and the standard image set by comparing the first medical image record and the standard image set; transferring the delta from the workstation of the first user and to one or more computing devices; reconstructing the first medical image record by combining the delta with the standard image set having a copy of the standard image set; and analyzing the first medical image record.

  • Patent number: 10775958
    Abstract: A display device and an image display system are provided which can easily identify different kinds of windows. Solution: A list X of simplified images M is based on data containing associated information of multiple attributes as metadata. A display is provided to display the list X in a matrix in which the simplified images M are located for respective pieces of associated information of one attribute in a row direction while the simplified images M are located for respective pieces of associated information of another attribute in a column direction. The display has a first sub window SW1 and a second sub window SW2 that are displayed in different display modes on the list X, the first sub window SW1 containing the images M sharing the associated information of one attribute and the associated information of another attribute in the list X of the images M, the second sub window SW2 containing the images M placed in the same folder in the list X of the images M.
