Abstract
DICOM data is automatically prepared for transit outside of the clinical-data infrastructure, by examining a plurality of metadata fields in the corresponding metadata in the DICOM data; identifying a first subset of the metadata fields as containing private information; identifying a second subset of the metadata fields as private-information free; accessing at least some of the plurality of layers of the DICOM data; and transforming the accessed layers into a single transmission-image, the transmission-image being in a format i) other than DICOM and ii) that stores the second subset of the metadata fields as transmission-metadata in a scheme that is non-redundant for a given transmission-image.
