Benefits of technology

The patent describes a system and method for accessing and distributing digital diagnostic images associated with a hardcopy diagnostic imaging report. The system receives the diagnostic image and information from an imaging facility and generates a diagnostic imaging report with a shortened URL that contains the embedded file path of the stored diagnostic image. The report can then be accessed using a scanning device that scans the barcode and displays the diagnostic image. The technical effect of this system is to enable easy access to and distribution of digital diagnostic images.

Problems solved by technology

However, conventional systems suffer from problems, particularly with respect to the distribution of diagnostic images associated with the report.
The creation of these diagnostic images and duplicate copies is costly and cumbersome.
Further, duplicate copies on physical media increases the security risk of unauthorized access.
Conventional secure online portal systems additionally suffer from problems with respect to the distribution of diagnostic images associated with a report.
However, URLs, usernames, and passwords are frequently lost or mistyped.
The time lost locating these images is problematic in this environment because of the limited amount of time each patient can spend with a physician during a visit.
Further, electronic access to the images is only controlled by the imaging facility (hospital) and not by the patient and / or physicians.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]FIG. 1 illustrates an example diagnostic imaging report generation and distribution environment 100 for implementing the systems and methods of the present disclosure. As illustrated in FIG. 1, a patient undergoes a diagnostic imaging study at imaging facility 110 using medical modality 111. Diagnostic images 113 and diagnostic information 114 related to the study are generated using medical modality 111 and workstation 112. Diagnostic images 113 and related diagnostic information 114 follow the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard for handling, storing, printing and transmitting medical imaging information. In this embodiment, diagnostic images 113 comprise tags for identification and grouping purposes.

[0019]The generated diagnostic images 113 and diagnostic information 114 are transmitted via communication medium 101 to a DICOM server 130. Communication medium 101 may comprise a communications network such as a cellular telephone network, a local a...

Abstract

Methods and systems for distributing and accessing diagnostic images associated with a diagnostic imaging report are disclosed. A DICOM server is configured to receive diagnostic images and diagnostic information from an imaging facility based on a diagnostic imaging study. The received diagnostic images and diagnostic information are stored at a DICOM storage of the server. A diagnostic imaging report is generated based on diagnostic report input parameters related to the received diagnostic images and the diagnostic information. The generated diagnostic imaging report includes a barcode containing an embedded file path to one or more of the received diagnostic images.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present disclosure relates generally to diagnostic imaging. More particularly, some embodiments relate to systems and methods for distributing and accessing digital diagnostic images associated with a hardcopy diagnostic imaging report.DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART[0002]Diagnostic imaging is a process used to create visual representations of the interior of a patient's body for clinical analysis and medical intervention. After acquiring medical images associated with an ordered diagnostic imaging procedure, an interpreting physician creates a diagnostic report. These diagnostic reports are provided to the patient and / or physicians in hard copy format. In conventional systems for distributing diagnostic reports, the diagnostic images associated with the report are provided to the patient and physicians on a portable digital recording medium such as CD or DVD or in hardcopy format such as film or paper. More recently, conventional systems also make the diagno...
