MEDICAL IMAGING VIEWER CACHING TECHNIQUES

摘要

Techniques for client-side caching of a medical image and server-side coordination of the client-side caching techniques are disclosed herein. User interaction in a client medical image display interface is coordinated with server conversion and processing operations. In one example, a server provides a unique key and display parameters to coordinate and specify client display operations. The unique key can be used to obtain a copy of the image from a local client-side cache, and the display parameters can be used to specify client-side transformation and rendering techniques to implement a requested image view. As a result of the client-side caching operations, resource utilization (including computational processing and network bandwidth) can be minimized, while user interactivity can be maximized.

1. A method for client-side caching of a medical image, performed by a client computing device having at least one processor and at least one memory, the method implemented by operations performed using the at least one processor and the at least one memory, with the operations comprising:
processing user interaction received in a medical image display interface on the client computing device, the user interaction selecting a display of a medical image within the medical image display interface; receiving, from a server in response to selecting the display of the medical image, a unique identifier correlated to image data of the medical image; and performing a lookup of image data for the medical image in a cache accessible to the client computing device, the lookup of the image data for the medical image being performed using the unique identifier of the medical image.
