Distributed multi-user catalog-based system for real time data access during cardiology procedures
First Claim
1. A method of accessing a study record during a cardiac catheterization procedure, the procedure being conducted in a cardiac catheterization lab, the cardiac catheterization lab including one or more acquisition workstations configured to acquire study data from the heart of a patient, comprising the acts of:
- (a) acquiring study data from the heart of a patient;
(b) separating the study data into waveform data and file data;
(c) storing the waveform data in an acquisition storage device and a first server storage device, wherein storing the waveform data in the first server storage device takes place via a low priority background thread;
(d) storing the file data in an acquisition database and a first server database, wherein corresponding to the waveform data;
(e) cataloging the study data collected by the acquisition workstation in an acquisition workstation catalog;
(f) cataloging the study data stored in the first server storage device in a first server storage device catalog;
(g) concurrently reviewing the study data by selecting a study from the first server catalog;
(h) accessing the file data in the acquisition database from a client workstation; and
(i) accessing the waveform data in the acquisition storage device from the client workstation.

Abstract
A distributed multi-user system for real time data access during cardiology procedures. The system includes an interactive computer network which can be used to simultaneously display data from a cardiology procedure on a plurality of devices and at a plurality of locations. A catalog, including a list of studies, may be selected by a client workstation. If a user selects one of the studies, the client workstation is dynamically directed to the study. The study can be displayed at any of the plurality of locations, which may be local or remote, during the procedure. Any updates to the data during the procedure will be distributed to the plurality of locations for real-time viewing of the updated data.
