Systems and Methods For Workstation Rendering Medical Image Records

One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:

• receive, at a workstation of a first user, a subscription to a worklist, the worklist including a Study list having one or more Studies, each Study including at least one Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (“DICOM”) image;
• pre-render and compress, by one or more computing devices, at least one DICOM image associated with each Study on the Study list;
• transfer, from the one or more computing devices to the workstation, one or more pre-rendered and compressed DICOM images;
• receive, at the workstation, a request to view at least one pre-rendered and compressed DICOM image;
• decompress, at the workstation, at least one requested pre-rendered and compressed DICOM image;
• render, at the workstation, at least one decompressed DICOM image;
• and
• displaying at least one rendered DICOM image at the workstation.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and a memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors being operable when executing the instructions to:
• receive, at a workstation of a first user, a subscription to a worklist, the worklist including a Study list having one or more Studies, each Study including at least one Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (“DICOM”) image;
• pre-render and compress, by one or more computing devices, at least one DICOM image associated with each Study on the Study list;
• transfer, from the one or more computing devices to the workstation, one or more pre-rendered and compressed DICOM images;
• receive, at the workstation, a request to view at least one pre-rendered and compressed DICOM image;
• decompress, at the workstation, at least one requested pre-rendered and compressed DICOM image;
• render, at the workstation, at least one decompressed DICOM image;
• and
• displaying at least one rendered DICOM image at the workstation.
