Abstract

According to one embodiment, a local device receives 3D medical image data captured by a medical imaging device. The 3D medical image is anonymized by removing certain metadata associated with the 3D medical image data based on an anonymization template. The local device automatically uploads the anonymized 3D medical image data to a cloud server over a network based on a set of one or more rules, using a network connection established via an internet port of the local device. The cloud server is configured to provide medical image processing services to a plurality of users using a plurality of image processing tools provided by the cloud server.
