Abstract
Provided is a method of converting a medical image used in a network at a patient care facility, the network including an enterprise network storage solution optionally dedicated for storing medical images in a standardized medical imaging format that are to be retrieved over the network. The method includes us a computer system to search a portable computer-readable medium for an indication that the medical image is stored in a proprietary format on the portable computer-readable medium. The proprietary format of the medical image is identified, using the computer system, based on the indication. The medical image is converted into a format that is compliant with a standardized medical-imaging format, transmitted in the standardized medical-imaging format to be: (i) subsequently displayed by a display device without requiring prior storage of the medical image in an enterprise storage solution for medical images, and/or (ii) stored in the enterprise storage solution.
