Abstract
A method for retrieving medical images from at least one image archive and creating at least one teaching file; the method including the steps of retrieving at least one medical image from the image archive; storing the at least one medical image in a database; generating a database record for the teaching file; generating the teaching file; saving the teaching file into the database; and generating at least one index of the teaching file
Claims35
A method for retrieving medical images from at least one imaging archive and creating at least one teaching file;
- the method including the steps of:
- (a) retrieving at least one medical image from the at least one image archive;
- (b) storing the at least one medical image in a database;
- (c) generating a database record for the at least one teaching file;
- (d) generating the teaching file;
- (e) saving the teaching file into the database;
- and
- (f) generating at least one index of the teaching files.
A method as claimed in 10, wherein when retrieval is interactive, the at least one clinical image archive is queried using a graphic user interface and instructions are passed from the graphic user interface to a PACS accessor of an image server, the PACS accessor interrogating the at least one clinical image archive, finding at least one medical image of interest, and retrieving the at least one medical image and information relative to the at least one medical images.
Apparatus for retrieving medical images from at least one image archive and creating at least one teaching file;
- the apparatus including a database, an image server, a MIRC server, a web server, and a graphic user interface for operation on a user's machine.
