INTERACTIVE VIEWING, ASYNCHRONOUS RETRIEVAL, AND ANNOTATION OF MEDICAL IMAGES
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- retrieving, by a client device, from a server through a network, a network resource having medical information and associated medical images, with the server initially including only a subset of the associated medical images with the retrieved network resource; and
facilitating, by the client device, interactive viewing of the medical information by a user, including interactive viewing of the associated medical images, including asynchronously retrieving by the client device additional ones of the associated medical images as the provided medical images are being interactively viewed.

Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and articles for interactive viewing, asynchronously retrieving and annotating medical images are described herein. In various embodiments, a client device may retrieve, from a server, a network resource having medical information and associated medical images, with the server initially including only a subset of the medical images. The client device may then facilitate a user in interactive viewing of the retrieved medical images, and asynchronously retrieve additional ones of the medical images from the server as the retrieved medical images are being interactively viewed. In some embodiments, in response to interactive viewing, the client device may request of a server a graphical primitive, the request specifying a graphical primitive type and information associated with the interactive viewing. In response the client device may receive the primitive and may create an annotation layer including the primitive associated with the medical image.

13. A server comprising:
-
a processor; and logic to be operated by the processor to provide to a client device a network resource having medical information and a subset of associated medical images, the network resource including client-side logic to facilitate interactive viewing of the medical information by a user of the client device, receive from the client device an asynchronous request for additional ones of the associated medical images, the request including at least one parameter associated with the interactive viewing, and in response to said receive, provide the additional ones of the associated medical images to the client device, the additional ones of the associated medical images being selected in view of the at least one parameter. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

20. A method comprising:
-
facilitating, by a client device, a user interaction with a visually manifested medical image of a network resource, the network resource including client-side logic for managing user interactions; receiving, by the client device, a user interaction; in response to receiving the user interaction, asynchronously requesting to a server, by the client device, a graphical primitive, the request specifying a graphical primitive type and information associated with the received user interaction; receiving, by the client device, the graphical primitive; and in response to receiving the graphical primitive, creating, by the client device, an annotation layer including the graphical primitive, and associating the annotation layer with the medical image. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)
