Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing application data. An example method involves operating a management processor to receive an initial application data for an applicant; store the initial application data; generate an initial cryptographic hash based on the initial application data; generate a preview of a first application for the applicant based on the initial cryptographic hash; and receive subsequent application data for the applicant. The initial application data and the subsequent application data include data objects corresponding to one or more fields of the first application. The method further involves operating the processor to, for each subsequent application data, store the subsequent application data as a separate and distinct record; generate a subsequent cryptographic hash based on a current immediate prior cryptographic hash and the subsequent application data; and generate a preview of the first application based on the subsequent cryptographic hash.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing program application data. An example system includes a storage device; a communication component; and a processor in communication with the one or more storage devices and a plurality of computing devices via the communication component. The processor is operable to receive, from a computing device on behalf of an applicant, initial program application data for the applicant; and store the initial program application data on the one or more storage devices. The processor is further operable to receive an initialization indicator that at least one program application of one or more program applications is to be created; generate an initial program application data object for the at least one program application; store the initial program application data object on the one or more storage devices; and designate the initial program application data object as the reference program application data object for the at least one program application.

Abstract: A system and method for collecting medical image data items. A central processor identifies a new medical image data file on a remote image storage memory. The central processor determines that the new medical image data file is a completed file and copies the completed file to a central storage memory. The central processor determines an expected set of files corresponding to the medical image data file that defines a medical image data item. The central processor determines that each of the medical image data files in the expected set have been copied to the central storage memory. The central processor then generates an indicator that the medical image date item is available on the central storage memory.

Abstract: A system and method for managing medical image data items. Pixel data and metadata are identified in the medical image data items. A plurality of pixel objects are generated using the pixel data. The plurality of pixel objects are stored in a first storage memory. A plurality of representative objects are generated using the metadata. The representative objects are stored in a second storage memory. The representative objects may include overview objects and representative metadata objects. The representative objects can be generated in a DICOM-compatible format suitable for PACS workflows.

Abstract: A system and method for providing breast image data. A transmission request is transmitted from a workstation to an imaging server with identifying characteristics for a mammography image. A pre-determined breast window for the mammography image is identified. An unprocessed image stored on the server that corresponds to the mammography image is identified, and breast image data can be determined for unprocessed image. The breast image data includes a breast window image that can be determined by applying the pre-determined breast window to the unprocessed image. The breast image data is transmitted to the clinician workstation, and the breast window image is displayed at the clinician workstation.

Abstract: A system and method for managing medical image data items. A large image manager is used to store medical image data items external to a core PACS. Representative objects are generated and provided to the PACS to be incorporated into the core PACS workflows. The representative objects can be generated by extracted pixel data and metadata from the medical image data items. The representative objects are generated in a format compatible with the protocol used by the PACS workflows. Requests sent to the PACS for medical images can be re-routed to the large image manager to provide the requested images.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for generating a pre-scaled image for at least one mammography image of a series, the series containing a plurality of mammography images, each mammography image displaying a breast having tissue points, the method comprising: obtaining an overview breast window, wherein the overview breast window encloses all tissue points; and, rendering the pre-scaled image based on the overview breast window. In some embodiments, the overview image, the overview breast window, or both may be stored in the database memory. In some embodiments, the overview breast window may be stored as the image breast window for each image of the series.
