  • Publication number: 20110275924
    Abstract: The method and system of the present invention permits a physician to transmit images captured by an imaging device such as an endoscope or fluoroscope and associated data to a remote viewer in real time. A method and system for transmitting medical imaging and associated data to a remote user begins with capturing a still or moving image (video stream) with a camera attached to a medical imaging device such as an endoscope or images generated by a fluoroscope. Such images are forwarded to and processed by a video capture device. Image related data (images data stream) is simultaneously forwarded through an in-line, one way, filter to the video capture device while the video stream is also forwarded to the video capture device. The video and data streams are then forwarded to a data assimilating component comprising a server capable of synchronizing, compressing, and combining the streams into a compressed combined stream. This compressed combined stream is forwarded to a remote user.
