The present invention aims at permitting numerous user terminals to share protocols as common resources. A vendor terminal or user terminal registers a pair of a protocol and a medical image, which is produced during scanning performed according to the protocol, by recording data in a protocol/medical image database included in a protocol management server. The user terminal acquires a medical image from the protocol management server over a network, and displays it on a display device. Moreover, the user terminal downloads a required protocol from the protocol management server and sets it in a medical diagnostic imaging system.

Systems and methods for communicating a protocol over a network

An image processing system having a server which applies image processing to a medical image sent by a subscriber via a generally available network, such as the 'internet', and sends the results of the image processing back to that subscriber or to another subscriber as instructed upon verification of the legitimacy of the instructions. In this manner, the processing load is reduced and medical images are made more readily and easily accessible.
