Medical data recording apparatus

A medical data recording apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a printer operatively coupled to the processor, the processor providing instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the medical data recording apparatus to perform operations comprising:
• receiving medical data information in DICOM format through a software module and parsing patient identification information and study information from the received medical data information, the medical data further comprising one or more files,
• storing the parsed patient identification information and parsed study information, the stored parsed study information and patient information coming from the one or more files,
• storing DICOM image information coming from the one or more files,
• noting the end of the received medical data information through the software module for each patient,
• creating a job containing medical data for a patient, and medical data image viewing software, and
• providing print information for an autoloader control software, the print information having selected fields obtained from an automatic scan of the stored parsed patient identification information and the stored parsed study information,
• submitting the job to the autoloader control software, and
• recording said DICOM image information from the one or more files on a recording media,
• recording other files as defined by DICOM on the recording media,
• recording on said recording media in response to the job, the medical data image viewing software and the medical data and
• automatically printing the selected fields of the automatic scan of the stored parsed patient identification information and the stored parsed study information on the recording media to label the recording media.

A medical data recording apparatus comprising:

• means for receiving medical data information in DICOM format through a software module communicatively coupled to a network, and
• means for extracting patient identification information and extracting study information from the received medical data information,
• means for storing DICOM image information coming from the medical data information,
• means for storing the extracted patient identification information and extracted study information, from the medical data information;
• means for automatically scanning the stored extracted patient identification information and the stored extracted study information for selected fields from one or more files,
• means for noting the end of the received medical data information through the software module for each patient,
• means for creating a job for a patient containing medical data, and medical data image viewing software, and
• means for providing print information for an autoloader control software, the print information having the selected fields obtained from the automatically scanning of the stored extracted patient identification information and the stored extracted study information,
• means for submitting the job to the autoloader control software, and
• means for recording at least one DICOM image on a disc,
• means for recording other files as defined by DICOM on the disc,
• means for recording on the disc the job such that the medical data image viewing software is recorded on the disc along with the medical data, and
• means for automatically printing the selected fields of the stored extracted patient identification information and the stored extracted study information, the selected fields used to label the disc.

A medical data recording apparatus comprising:

• a receiver to receive medical image information in DICOM format through a software module and to parse patient identification information and study information from the received medical data information, the medical data further comprising one or more files,
• a first storage to store the parsed patient identification information and parsed study information, the stored parsed study information and patient information coming from the one or more files,
• a first storage to store image information coming from the one or more files,
• a notation to note an end of the received medical data information through the software module for each patient,
• a creator to create a job containing medical data for a patient, and medical data image viewing software, and
• an output to provide print information for an autoloader control software, the print information including selected fields obtained from an automatic scan of the stored parsed patient identification information and the stored parsed study information,
• a submitter to submit the job to the autoloader control software, and
• a first recorder to record said medical image information from the one or more files on a recording media,
• a second recorder to record other files as defined by DICOM on the recording media,
• a third recorder to record, on said recording media in response to the job, the medical data image viewing software and the medical data and
• a printer to automatically print the selected fields of the automatic scan of the stored parsed patient identification information and the stored parsed study information on the recording media to label the recording media.
