Computerized method and system for associating a portion of a diagnostic image with an electronic record
First Claim
1. A method in a computing environment for associating one or more portions of a diagnostic image with at least one electronic medical record, the method comprising:
- receiving the diagnostic image in an electronic format, the diagnostic image including data particular to at least two persons, wherein the diagnostic image is an image of a gel result;
when the diagnostic image is determined to be skewed in orientation, rotating the diagnostic image to a proper alignment;
receiving gel loading data associated with the diagnostic image;
based on the gel loading data, identifying common lanes of the diagnostic image;
based on the gel loading data, identifying at least one lane of the diagnostic image particular to a first of the at least two persons and at least one lane of the diagnostic image particular to a second of the at least two persons;
modifying the diagnostic image to create a modified image, wherein modifying the diagnostic image comprises parsing the at least one lane of the diagnostic image particular to the second of the at least two persons from the diagnostic image to create the modified image, the modified image comprising the at least one lane of the diagnostic image particular to the first of the at least two persons; and
storing the modified image with an electronic medical record for the first of the at least two persons.

Abstract
A computerized method for associating one or more portions of a diagnostic image with one or more electronic records is provided. The method includes receiving a diagnostic image having data particular to at least two persons and associating a first portion of the diagnostic image with an electronic record. The method may further include storing the first portion of the diagnostic image with the electronic record and/or associating and storing a common portion of the diagnostic image with the electronic record, the common portion consisting of data common to each person whose data is shown on the image. In one embodiment, the method may further include modifying the received diagnostic image and associating and storing the modified image with an electronic record. A computer system for associating at least a portion of a diagnostic image with an electronic record is also provided.

12. A method in a computing environment for associating one or more portions of a diagnostic image with at least one electronic medical record, the method comprising one or more computers implementing in the following steps:
-
receiving the diagnostic image in an electronic format, the diagnostic image including data particular to at least two persons, wherein the diagnostic image is an image of a gel result; when the diagnostic image is determined to be skewed in orientation, rotating the diagnostic image in proper alignment; receiving gel loading data associated with the diagnostic image; based on the gel loading data, identifying common lanes of the diagnostic image; based on the gel loading data, identifying at least one lane of the diagnostic image particular to a first of the at least two persons and at least one lane of the diagnostic image particular to a second of the at least two persons; modifying the diagnostic image to create a modified image, wherein modifying the diagnostic image comprises obscuring the at least one lane of the diagnostic image particular to the second of the at least two persons to create the modified image, the modified image comprises the at least one lane of the diagnostic image particular to the first of the at least two persons; and storing the modified image with an electronic medical record for the first of the at least two persons. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, that when executed by a computing system having a processor and memory, cause the computing system to perform a method, the method comprising:
-
receiving a diagnostic image, of a gel, in an electronic format that is readable by the computing system, the diagnostic image including data particular to at least two persons; when the diagnostic image is determined to be skewed in orientation, rotating the diagnostic image to a proper alignment; receiving gel loading data associated with the diagnostic image, wherein the gel loading data indicates which lanes of the diagnostic image are indicative of common data and which lane is particular to an individual person; based on the gel loading data, identifying common lanes of the diagnostic image, wherein the common lanes include data common to the two or more persons having data represented on the diagnostic image; based on the gel loading data, identifying at least one lane of the diagnostic image particular to a first of the at least two persons and at least one lane of the diagnostic image particular to a second of the at least two persons; modifying the diagnostic image to create a modified image, wherein modifying the diagnostic image comprises parsing all data other than the at least one lane of the diagnostic image particular to the first of the at least two persons from the diagnostic image;
to create the modified image;modifying the diagnostic image to create a common image, wherein modifying the diagnostic image comprises parsing all data other than the common lanes of the diagnostic image from the diagnostic image to create the common image; aggregating the modified image and the common image portion to create a hybrid image; and storing the hybrid image with an electronic medical record for the first of the at least two persons.
