A method and system for long-distance transmission of medical images

Abstract

The invention provides a method and system for long-distance transmission of medical images. The method comprises the following steps of: monitoring a message, sent by an image workstation, for requesting a DICOM file; obtaining patient information, a source IP address and a source AET carried in the message; reading configuration information of a PACS and table information related to the patient information from a pre-configured data dictionary configuration file according to the patient information, and constructing a query statement from the patient information and the related table information; establishing connection with the PACS according to the configuration information, and querying a DICOM file storage path list according with the conditions from the PACS by using the query statement; obtaining a pre-stored image workstation configuration file from the PACS according to the source AET, and creating a network connection socket of the image workstation according to the configuration file; and downloading a DICONE file from the PACS according to the DICOM file storage path list, and returning the DICOM file to the image workstation through the network connection socket. According to the method and system, the long-distance safe transmission of examination data of patients can be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of network communication, in particular to a method and system for long-distance transmission of medical images. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the country has vigorously promoted a hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system, that is, primary and central hospitals can refer each other, but the effect is minimal. The difficulty in implementing hierarchical diagnosis and treatment lies in how to securely share patient examination data, especially how to securely share a large amount of image data remotely. The industry-wide method for safe sharing of inspection data within hospitals is to convert the inspection data into DICOM files for transmission. DICOM is a communication protocol that all manufacturers' instruments must follow. In the large local area network, the PACS system based on the local area network is basically implemented to transmit and archive the inspection data of each inspe...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] The purpose of the embodiments of the present invention is to provide a method and system for long-distance transmission of medical images, aiming to solve the problem that the DICOM communication protocol development kits that have been implemented in the prior art can only support the transmission of images to designated public network IP or local area network image workstations. The DICOM files sent by the computer have not yet been able to transmit the inspection data with the community clinics distributed in every corner of the city, resulting in the inability to realize long-distance between the urban central hospital and community hospitals, urban hospitals, township grass-roots hospitals, and private chain hospitals.
