Abstract
A method for synchronizing patient data between at least two independent applications in a distributed environment includes capturing screen information from a display window of a first application client that is displaying a medical image of a patient, analyzing the screen information captured from the first application client display to extract patient identifying information, and synchronizing a display of information of the patient on a second application system display screen with the first application display window using the extracted patient identification information.
Claims29
A computer implemented method for synchronizing patient data between at least two independent applications in a distributed computing environment, the method comprising the steps of:
- capturing, by a computer system, screen information from a display window of a first application client that is displaying a medical image of a patient on a screen, wherein the first application is a picture archiving and communication system (PACS);
- analyzing, by the computer system, the screen information captured from the first application client display to extract patient identifying information;
- and
- synchronizing, by the computer system, a display of computer-aided detection diagnosis (CAD) information of said patient in a second application system display window on the screen along with said first application display window using said extracted patient identification information;
- wherein said second application is a computer-aided detection diagnosis (CAD) system.
A computer implemented method for synchronizing patient data between at least two independent applications in a distributed computing environment, the method comprising the steps of:
- capturing, by a computer system, screen information from a display window of a first application client that is displaying a medical image of a patient;
- designating, by the computer system, default locations of patient identification information in the first application client;
- and
- analyzing, by the computer system, the screen information captured from the first application client display to extract patient identifying information based on knowledge of said default locations of patient identification information;
- wherein said first application is a picture archiving and communication system (PACS) and said second application is a computer-aided detection diagnosis (CAD) system.
A non-transitory program storage device readable by a computer, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the computer to perform the method steps for synchronizing patient data between at least two independent applications in a distributed environment, the method comprising the steps of:
- capturing screen information from a display window of a first application client that is displaying a medical image of a patient;
- analyzing the screen information captured from the first application client display to extract patient identifying information;
- and
- synchronizing a display of information of said patient on a second application system display screen with said first application display window using said extracted patient identification information;
- wherein said first application is a picture archiving and communication system (PACS) and said second application is a computer-aided detection/diagnosis (CAD) system.
