A system and method for performing image scrolling are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system for image scrolling organizes each set of related images as a series object. The system writes selected images from one of the series objects, from the image cache to the frame buffer, for image scrolling on a display. A garbage collection module performs garbage collection in the image cache. The garbage collection module operates on memory space where a series object is released or can be moved, for reclaiming memory. The image scrolling is smoother than if the garbage collection module were to track and operate on each image as an object.

Smooth image scrolling with disk I/O activity optimization and enhancement to memory consumption

An image viewer and method for using the same in a medical image management system are described. In one embodiment, the system comprises: a network communication interface to receive compressed image pixel data; an image cache memory to cache the compressed DICOM image pixel data and rendered images; one or more processors coupled to the network connection interface and the memory and configured to implement an image rendering pipeline to perform image rendering in response to opening a healthcare study for review, wherein the image rendering includes determining whether compressed image pixel data associated with an image selected for display is in an image cache memory, and if so, then fetching the compressed image pixel data from an image cache, where the image pixel data represents a pre-rendered version of an image from a series in the healthcare study, and rendering a displayable image for display with a viewer on the display, and if not, then downloading from a remote location a version of the displayable image for display with the viewer; and a display coupled to the one or more processors to display the displayable image with a viewer.

Image viewer

A system and method for performing image scrolling are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system for image scrolling determines the scroll rate for image scrolling. The scroll rate is based on selection of a scroll rate range, through a user input device, and is further based on movement indicated by the user input device. The system writes a sequence of images from the image cache to the frame buffer for image scrolling on the display at the determined scroll rate.

Smooth image scrolling with dynamic scroll extension

A system and method for performing smooth image scrolling are disclosed. In one embodiment, the system comprises: a network communication interface to receive images of a healthcare study; an image cache memory to cache the images; one or more processors coupled to the network connection interface and the memory and configured to dynamically change playback behavior for navigating through images of the healthcare study based on analyzing historical user inputs made with one or more user input devices while a user is navigating through the images; and a display coupled to the one or more processors to display the images in a viewport.
