Provided is a method and apparatus for storing content on a portable computer-readable medium. A computer system receives a request to store a medical image and additional data in a different format on the portable computer-readable medium. The medical image and the additional data to be stored are received in a computer memory, and an association is established between the additional data and the medical image so the additional data is stored with the medical image on the portable computer-readable medium. The medical image and the additional data are stored on the portable computer-readable medium with an application that, when executed by a user computer, grants a user access to both the medical image and the additional data on the portable computer-readable medium.

Non-DICOM object attachment method and system

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.
