Clinical trial data processing system
First Claim
1. A patient clinical image data processing system, comprising:
- a first validation processor for,parsing a transaction message conveying patient medical image data to identify image metadata indicating first characteristics of said image, said first characteristics of said image comprising at least one of, (a) a data source identifier, (b) a date an image was generated, (c) data indicating a type of modality device and (d) a user name andperforming a first comparison by comparing said metadata with configuration data indicating predetermined characteristics of images required for a particular use and indicating said image is acceptable for said use in response to a successful first comparison;
a second validation processor for processing a DICOM format message different to a format of said transaction message by,parsing header data of DICOM compatible data representing said image to identify image metadata indicating second characteristics of said image andperforming a second comparison by comparing header data with configuration data indicating predetermined characteristics of images required for a particular use and indicating said image is acceptable for said use in response to a successful second comparison; and
a data processor for indicating said image is acceptable for said use in response to successful first and second comparisons.

Abstract
A system compares clinical trial protocol data in a configuration file with medical image metadata and data exchange protocol header data and in response generates a message to a user. A patient clinical image data processing system comprises a first validation processor for parsing a message conveying patient medical image data to identify image metadata indicating first characteristics of the image. The first validation processor performs a first comparison by comparing the metadata with configuration data indicating predetermined characteristics of images required for a particular use and indicating the image is acceptable for the use in response to a successful first comparison. A second validation processor parses header data of DICOM compatible data representing the image to identify image metadata indicating second characteristics of the image. The second validation processor performs a second comparison by comparing header data with configuration data indicating predetermined characteristics of images required for a particular use and indicating the image is acceptable for the use in response to a successful second comparison. A data processor indicates the image is acceptable for the use in response to successful first and second comparisons.
