Associating received medical imaging data to stored medical imaging data

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, from a client device, by executing a computer software application remotely from the client device without installing the computer software application on the client device, medical imaging data associated with a patient, wherein the medical imaging data includes an image object, one or more data objects related to the image objects, and metadata associated with the patient, wherein the image object and the one or more data objects are encoded in Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) format, wherein the metadata includes personal information about the patient, and time and location at which the DICOM image file was captured;
• comparing, by a computer system, the received metadata with existing metadata associated with a plurality of existing patients, wherein the existing metadata is stored in a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) or Electronic Health Record (EHR);
• based on a result of the comparing, identifying a subset of the plurality of existing patients as a potential match with the patient;
• providing the subset of the plurality of existing patients;
• requesting a selection of an existing patient from among the subset of the plurality of existing patients;
• receiving input selecting an existing patient;
• and
• providing the medical imaging data including the DICOM image file to be associated with the existing patient.
