METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROXY MEDICAL IMAGE COMPRESSION AND TRANSMISSION
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for transmitting industry protocol compliant images from a server comprising:
- sending a request for image data to a Server Application from a Server Proxy emulating a Viewer Application, wherein the Server Application interprets the request as originating from the Viewer Application;
intercepting a response to the request at the Server Proxy, wherein the response is generated at the Server Application and is directed to the Viewer Application;
compressing the image data in response to an encoding command from the Server Proxy; and
transmitting the compressed image data.

Abstract
In accordance with one or more implementations of the present principles, digital medical images may be efficiently transmitted between industry protocol compliant stations. Proxies may be employed to intercept messages and data transmitted between the stations and to enable transmission of data between the stations in compressed form. Further, the proxies may be incorporated into existing systems without altering integrated components to permit efficient and seamless implementation of one or more compression schemes.

10. A method for receiving industry protocol compliant images from a server comprising:
-
intercepting a request for image data at a Viewer Proxy emulating a Server Application, wherein the request is generated at a Viewer Application and is directed to the Server Application; receiving compressed image data and decompressing the compressed image data in response to a decoding command from the Viewer Proxy; and transmitting a response from the Viewer Proxy and the decompressed image data to the Viewer Application, wherein the Viewer Application interprets the response from the Viewer Proxy as originating from the Server Application. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A system for transmitting industry protocol compliant images from a server comprising:
-
a Server Application configured to store image data at the server and service requests for the image data; a remote Viewer Application configured to transmit requests for the image data and to receive and read the image data; and a Server Proxy configured to send a request for the image data to the Server Application while emulating the Viewer Application, wherein the Server Application interprets the request as originating from the Viewer Application, intercept a response to the request, wherein the response is generated at the Server Application and is directed to the Viewer Application, and transmit compressed image data; and an encoder configured to compress the image data in response to an encoding command from the Server Proxy. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
