Abstract

A medical information processing and storage system includes a medical images database storing medical images and metadata relevant to the medical images. A processor is configured to perform post-acquisition image processing on medical images. A medical images archiver is configured to store a medical image in the medical images database after the medical image has been processed by the processor. The medical images archiver stores the medical image in the database with processing-descriptive metadata that is descriptive of the post-acquisition image processing performed on the medical image by the processor.
