First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for processing objects of a standardized communication protocol for image and data exchange between a plurality of devices connected via a communication network, said devices including processing devices wherein said objects are processed, comprising the steps of:
- converting DICOM objects, each having a tag with a defined reference tag value, into a pure text file via a conversion routine and also, in said conversion routine, generating, for at least some of said tag values, a binary file associated with a position of the compressed DICOM object within the pure text file, said binary file containing the converted DICOM object referenced by the tag;
processing said pure text file with a generic minimalistic type class-dependent command language; and
reconverting said pure text file into the DICOM objects by substituting respective binary files for their placeholders associated tag reference in the pure text file.
