## Abstract

The system may include a method comprising requesting, by a computer, a receiver identifier associated with a receiver; receiving, by the computer, the receiver identifier in association with content; constructing, by the computer, a URL link comprising access to DICOM viewer code, DICOM data for the selected images, a sender identifier and the receiver identifier; generating, by the computer, a notification to the receiver, wherein the notification includes the URL link; and transmitting, by the computer, the notification to a receiver based on the receiver identifier.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method comprising:
receiving, by a processor using the Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) protocol, content from an IP address;
storing, by the processor, the content in association with a sender identifier, in response to the sender being unknown;
receiving, by the processor, a registration for the sender identifier, subsequent to the receiving the content and the storing the content; and
transferring, by the processor using the DICOM protocol, the content to an account associated with the sender identifier, in response to the receiving the registration for the sender identifier.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the content is a medical image.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the content is a medical image that is only viewable with DICOM viewer code.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving, by the processor, the IP address.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving, by the processor, a port number.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving, by the processor, the sender identifier.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising establishing, by the processor, a connection based on the IP address.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising establishing, by the processor, a connection based on a port number.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the sender identifier is unknown based on the sender identifier not being within a table of sender identifiers.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising comparing, by the processor, the sender identifier with a table of sender identifiers.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the sender identifier is at least one of an Application Entity Title (AE Title), a sender email address, sender cell phone number or a sender social security number.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein communications to overcome firewall and security settings are not needed, prior to receiving the registration.

### Claim 13

An image access system comprising:
a processor; and
a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processor,
the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving, by the processor using the Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) protocol, content from an IP address;
storing, by the processor, the content in association with a sender identifier, in response to the sender being unknown;
receiving, by the processor, a registration for the sender identifier, subsequent to the receiving the content and the storing the content; and
transferring, by the processor using the DICOM protocol, the content to an account associated with the sender identifier, in response to the receiving the registration for the sender identifier.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The system of claim 13, further comprising receiving, by the processor, the sender identifier.

### Claim 15 (depends on 13)

The system of claim 13, further comprising establishing, by the processor, a connection based on the IP address.

### Claim 16 (depends on 13)

The system of claim 13, further comprising establishing, by the processor, a connection based on a port number.

### Claim 17 (depends on 13)

The system of claim 13, wherein the sender identifier is unknown based on the sender identifier not being within a table of sender identifiers.

### Claim 18 (depends on 13)

The system of claim 13, further comprising comparing, by the processor, the sender identifier with a table of sender identifiers.

### Claim 19 (depends on 13)

The system of claim 13, wherein the sender identifier is at least one of an Application Entity Title (AE Title), a sender email address, sender cell phone number or a sender social security number.

### Claim 20

An article of manufacture including a non-transitory, tangible computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving, by the processor using the Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) protocol, content from an IP address;
storing, by the processor, the content in association with a sender identifier, in response to the sender being unknown;
receiving, by the processor, a registration for the sender identifier, subsequent to the receiving the content and the storing the content; and
transferring, by the processor using the DICOM protocol, the content to an account associated with the sender identifier, in response to the receiving the registration for the sender identifier.
