A method of dynamically converting a document from a non-DICOM format to a DICOM format includes receiving a query for use in searching for the document from one or more repositories, searching the one or more repositories for the document that matches the query, receiving from the one or more repositories one or more document results of the searching, receiving from a user a request for retrieval of at least one document from the one or more document results of the searching, determining if the at least one document requested for retrieval is in the non-DICOM format, upon positive determination, converting the at least one document requested for retrieval from the non-DICOM to the DICOM format, and sending the at least one converted document to the user.

System and methods for dynamically converting non-DICOM content to DICOM content

A system and methods for backing up and restoring updates to metadata of files stored in a database are disclosed. One example embodiment of the method includes entering the updates to the metadata of the one or more files into a first database table; generating a backup file of the first database table; and restoring the updates to the metadata to the one or more files using the backup file. Restoring the updates may include creating a recovery table populated with data from the backup file; determining the one or more files to apply the updates to by searching the recovery table for an identifier of the one or more files; and adding the updates to the metadata from the recovery table to the corresponding one or more files that matches the identifier identified from the recovery table.

A communication format and protocol is described for routing and storage 'asset' within a computer network. The assets conform to a format in which a first data structure that stores asset meta information to control routing of the asset through a medical imaging network. A second data structure that stores medical imaging information received from a medical imaging modality. A third data structure that stores pixel data received from the medical imaging modality. A fourth data structure that stores patch data that includes modifications to the medical imaging information. A fifth data structure that stores error detection and correction information.

A digital image management system is described which facilitates image archival with a unique method for grouping customer images and information. As applied to medical environments, the system creates a virtual film jacket and implements the unique method by modeling convention hospital film archival procedures. The invention facilitates archival to a variety of devices including a redundant array of independent disks, magneto-optical storage devices and digital linear tapes and eliminates the need for hospital staff to retrieve several tapes from archive in order for a radiologist to review a patient's study. The invention is applicable to any environment where customer images and information are continuously archived and retrieved.
