1. A method for sending image frame data from an imaging system to remote devices, comprising the steps of:

  • interacting with a graphical user interface to configure said imaging system to transfer successive acquired images to a first remote device in a first format compatible with said first remote device while maintaining an open association with said first remote device throughout a series of image acquisitions;

    acquiring a first frame of image data;

    in response to a first manipulation of a first operator input device, constructing a first data object incorporating said first frame of image data in said first format, opening an association with said first remote device, and sending said first data object to said first remote device via a network while said association with said first remote device is open;

    acquiring a second frame of image data; and

    in response to a second manipulation of said first operator input device, constructing a second data object incorporating said second frame of image data in said first format, and sending said second data object to said first remote device via said network while said association with said first remote device is still open.
