Abstract
A system and method of retrieving metadata, the method comprising: in response to a request from a client for metadata for a set of DICOM instances, loading n DICOM instances of the set of requested DICOM instances; comparing the metadata of the n loaded DICOM instances; generating a common set of values based on the comparison of the n loaded DICOM instances; streaming the common set of values to the client; determining per-instance data for each of the n loaded DICOM instances, the per-instance data being a difference between the metadata of a DICOM instance and the common set of values; transmitting the per-instance data of the loaded DICOM instances to the client; loading additional DICOM instances of the set of requested DICOM instances; determining per-instance data for each of the additional DICOM instances; and transmitting the per-instance data of the additional DICOM instances to the client.
