Abstract
A system and method of capturing and managing the medical information obtained during an imaging procedure is provided. The system includes a sonogram imaging device operated by a technician, and a technician computer system in communication with the imaging device via a communications network. A computer server communicates with the technician computer system, and includes a medical diagnostic imaging software program. A healthcare provider computer system is operatively in communication with the computer server via the communications network. The method includes the steps of conducting the imaging procedure and building a study from the generated image and captured impression of the real-time observations of the generated image and measurement data by the technician. The study is stored in the database associated with a computer server and is accessible by a healthcare professional using a healthcare provider computer system for preparing a medical diagnosis.
