System and method for producing medical image data onto portable digital recording media
First Claim
1. A method for selecting and recording medical image data onto a data storage medium, the method comprising:
- retrieving medical image data generated by one or more imaging modalities, the medical image data being formatted in a standard medical imaging format used by computers configured for viewing medical images;
storing the medical image data in a data store;
receiving a user selection via a user interface, the user selection defining selected medical image data;
in response to receiving the user selection, searching for related medical data that is related to the selected medical image data, based on the user selection; and
recording, by a robotic disc burner, the selected medical image data, a viewing program, and at least a portion of the related medical data onto a portable non-transitory data storage medium, the selected medical image data being recorded on the data storage medium in the standard medical imaging format, and the viewing program being configured to allow viewing of medical image data stored on the data storage medium on widely accessible computers not specifically configured with standard medical imaging software for viewing of medical images.

Abstract
This application discloses a system for recording medical image data for production on a portable digital recording medium such as CDs and DVDs. This system includes a receiving module, a processing module and an output module, with viewing program for viewing medical image data stored on the portable digital recording medium. It also discloses a method of storing medical image data on a portable digital recording medium, including the steps of receiving the medical image data, processing the data and storing the data on the portable digital recording medium, with a viewing program for viewing medical image data stored on the portable digital recording medium. It further discloses a method of selecting medical image data for recording on a portable digital recording medium, including the steps of connecting a browsing terminal to a computer database that stores the medical image data, selecting a first set of the medical image data from the computer database, and recording the selected first set of medical image data on the portable digital medium, with a viewing program for viewing the medical image data stored on the portable digital recording medium. It also discloses the method and system of retrieving medical image data that are related to the received/selected original medical image data, and recording the original and related medical image data on a portable digital recording medium.
