Methods and system for process sharing among independent systems/applications via data encapsulation in medical imaging

Abstract

A method and system is provided for data/process sharing. A decapsulating unit is provided and resides on first system where a first application system resides. The decapsulating unit monitors, on the first system, when encapsulated data from a second application system residing on a second system, is present in the first application system. The encapsulated data, once present on the first system, is decapsulated by the decapsulating unit to obtain a trigger corresponding to the second application system and encapsulated in the encapsulated data. The obtained trigger is analyzed and the second application system is launched on the first system based on the trigger.
