MEDICAL ARCHIVE LIBRARY AND METHOD

摘要

A low-cost scaleable turnkey system and method for archiving medical image data. The archive system and method permits the selective storing of medical data (including image data) received from a medical modality (e.g., CT, MRI, etc.) onto a removable medium (e.g., DVD or Blu-ray), which may subsequently be placed via robotics in a magazine within the system housing. In addition to directing the archiving of the medical data as described, software components of the archive system permit a specific medium in a magazine to be addressed, retrieved, and read as needed.
