Medical imaging and efficient sharing of medical imaging information
First Claim
1. A method of operating a medical analytics platform, the medical analytics platform comprising an analytics service provider (ASP) system and a protected health information (PHI) system, the method comprising:
- storing, by at least one processor of the ASP system, de-identified medical study data on at least one nontransitory processor-readable storage medium of the ASP system;
storing, by at least one processor of the PHI system, PHI data associated with the de-identified medical study data on at least one nontransitory processor-readable storage medium of the PHI system;
receiving, by the at least one processor of the ASP system, a request for a PHI access token from a client processor-based device over at least one communications network;
sending, by the at least one processor of the ASP system, an encrypted PHI access token to the client processor-based device over the at least one communications network;
receiving, by the at least one processor of the PHI system, a request for PHI data for the medical study from the client processor-based device, the request including the encrypted PHI access token;
sending, by the at least one processor of the PHI system, the encrypted PHI access token to the ASP system over the at least one communications network;
validating, by the at least one processor of the ASP system, the received encrypted PHI access token;
notifying, by the at least one processor of the ASP system, the PHI system that the PHI access token is valid;
sending, by the at least one processor of the PHI system, PHI data for a requested medical study to the client processor-based device over the at least one communications network responsive to the at least one processor of the PHI system receiving the validation notification from the ASP system; and
sending, by the at least one processor of the ASP system, de-identified medical study data for the requested medical study to the client processor-based device over the at least one communications network.

Abstract
An MRI image processing and analysis system may identify instances of structure in MRI flow data, e.g., coherency, derive contours and/or clinical markers based on the identified structures. The system may be remotely located from one or more MRI acquisition systems, and perform: error detection and/or correction on MRI data sets (e.g., phase error correction, phase aliasing, signal unwrapping, and/or on other artifacts); segmentation; visualization of flow (e.g., velocity, arterial versus venous flow, shunts) superimposed on anatomical structure, quantification; verification; and/or generation of patient specific 4-D flow protocols. A protected health information (PHI) service is provided which de-identifies medical study data and allows medical providers to control PHI data, and uploads the de-identified data to an analytics service provider (ASP) system. A web application is provided which merges the PHI data with the de-identified data while keeping control of the PHI data with the medical provider.
