Abstract

A method of monetization of the processing of a collection of ultrasonic data files is disclosed. The process accesses each scan data file and reads meta-data held by that scan data file. Responsive to the extant meta-data, a pricing model is applied, and a processing cost calculated for the processing of each data file. That pricing information is then associated with a customer account and invoiced at a time of choosing of the processing company. Various pricing models may be applied responsive to the characteristics of the data file processed, and responsive to the timeliness and priority of such processing.
