Abstract
Methods and systems for distributing and accessing diagnostic images associated with a diagnostic imaging report are disclosed. A DICOM server is configured to receive diagnostic images and diagnostic information from an imaging facility based on a diagnostic imaging study. The received diagnostic images and diagnostic information are stored at a DICOM storage of the server. A diagnostic imaging report is generated based on diagnostic report input parameters related to the received diagnostic images and the diagnostic information. The generated diagnostic imaging report includes a barcode containing an embedded file path to one or more of the received diagnostic images.
Claims6
A scanning device for accessing a diagnostic image associated with a hardcopy diagnostic imaging report, comprising:
- a camera;
