Medical image reconstruction cloud scheduler

10-19. (canceled)

A method for reconstructing medical images over a network, comprising:

• scheduling a reconstruction request for a medical image reconstruction of a subject according to an imaging protocol, wherein the imaging protocol is mappable to a resource requirement of at least one of transmission of raw image data from a source node to a reconstruction node, timing and duration of reconstruction at the reconstruction node, and timing and duration of transmission of the reconstructed medical image data from the reconstruction node to a destination node, wherein the scheduling comprises scheduling of a plurality of events, each event with a corresponding time, and the plurality of events include at least one event with the corresponding time selected from at least one of a first time to transmit raw image data over a first network from a source node to a reconstruction node, a second time to reconstruct the medical image by the reconstruction node, and a third time to transmit the reconstructed medical image over a second network from the reconstruction node to a destination node.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform a method for reconstructing medical images over a network, the method comprising:

• scheduling a reconstruction request for a medical image reconstruction of a subject according to an imaging protocol, wherein the imaging protocol is mappable to a resource requirement of at least one of transmission of raw image data from a source node to a reconstruction node, timing and duration of reconstruction at the reconstruction node, and timing and duration of transmission of the reconstructed medical image data from the reconstruction node to a destination node, wherein the scheduling comprises scheduling of a plurality of events, each event with a corresponding time, and the plurality of events include at least one event with the corresponding time selected from a group consisting of a first time to transmit raw image data over a first network from a source node to a reconstruction node, a second time to reconstruct the medical image by the reconstruction node, and a third time to transmit the reconstructed medical image over a second network from the reconstruction node to a destination node.
