Remote cine viewing of medical images on a zero-client application

摘要

Systems and methods for remotely viewing medical images on a client device having a zero-client web application with a buffering module. The zero-client web application receives an image series selection from a user and receives corresponding series details from a web server. The zero-client web application generates an off-screen image array according to the series details. The buffering module outputs image requests based on the series details to a web server. The web server is in communication with a medical image database storing images in a non-web browser compatible format (e.g., DICOM). The buffering module then populates the off-screen image array with converted medical images received from the web server. The zero-client web application further includes an on-screen image and a display module. The display module sequentially sets converted medical images of the off-screen array as the on-screen image to stream the converted medical images.

主权项

1. A method of streaming medical images on a remote device using a zero-client web application, the method comprising:
receiving, from a web server, medical images; populating an off-screen image array with the medical images received from the web server; receiving, by the zero-client web application, a requested frame rate; determining a bandwidth of a connection between the zero-client web application and the web server; determining a second frame rate based on the bandwidth; and during a buffering stage, streaming the medical images, using the off-screen image array, at a frame rate that is the lower of the requested frame rate and the second frame rate.
