METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INTEGRATING MEDICAL IMAGING SYSTEMS AND E-CLINICAL SYSTEMS

摘要

The present invention provides an imaging service method and system by which medical images stored in the DICOM standard in a central medical imaging repository may be seamlessly and securely accessed, and operated on, by electronic data capture (EDC) or eClinical data systems. The interoperability between web-based Medical Imaging Repositories and eClinical systems provided by the present invention may increase data quality and visibility to clinical workflow involving medical imaging, decrease delays in accessing images and their clinical measurements, and improve the functionality of DICOM-based MIR systems by providing measurement-based versions.
