Data storage device, especially for storing medical image data that is associated with meta data, has data checking means to ensure critical data is not lost during archiving

摘要

The processing unit (2,4,6) includes a data management unit (4) with which data is converted into a storage format so that they can be stored in memory (5). Data loss testing means (8, 9) are provided with which reformatted data can be compared with original data in order to differentiate data and to enable storage of data as loss-free or loss-associated data. An Independent claim is made for a data structure for storing image and meta data with file names and structure parts for storing processed and unprocessed image and meta data.
