Systems and methods for remote image reconstruction

A method comprising:

• receiving, at a processing center located at a first location, from a medical scanning system located at a second location, scanning data acquired during a scan performed by the medical scanning system, wherein the first location and the second location are remote from each other,
• selecting, via a processing module of the processing center, a reconstruction technique from a plurality of reconstruction techniques available to the processing module, the plurality of techniques including a plurality of sub-groups of techniques, the plurality of sub-groups relating to a corresponding plurality of imaging modalities, wherein the reconstruction technique is selected based on at least one of a quantity or quality of the scanning data received by the input module;
• reconstructing an image at the processing center using the scanning data from the medical scanning system and the selected reconstruction technique;
• and
• providing access to the image reconstructed at the processing center to at least one of the medical scanning system or a requestor located remotely from the processing center.

A tangible and non-transitory computer readable medium comprising one or more computer software modules configured to direct a processor to:

• receive, at a processing center located at a first location, scanning data from a medical scanning system located at a second location, the scanning data acquired by the medical scanning system during a scan performed by the medical scanning system, wherein the first location and the second location are remote from each other;
• select, via a processing module of the processing center, a reconstruction technique from a plurality of reconstruction techniques available to the processing module, the plurality of techniques including a plurality of sub-groups of techniques, the plurality of sub-groups relating to a corresponding plurality of imaging modalities, wherein the reconstruction technique is selected based on at least one of a quantity or quality of the scanning data received by the input module;
• reconstruct an image at the processing center using the scanning data from the medical scanning system and the selected reconstruction technique;
• and
• provide access to the image reconstructed at the processing center to at least one of the medical scanning system or a requestor located remotely from the processing center.
