| 20100115288 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF ENCRYPTION FOR DICOM VOLUMES - Digital image storage and management systems capable of producing encrypted DICOM volumes on different types of media (e.g., Blu-ray, CD, DVD, memory stick, USB flash drive, etc.), with or without the automatic generation of labels, systems and mechanisms to generate and manage passwords for the encrypted volumes, and systems and mechanisms to manage access to encrypted data on such volumes are disclosed. Generated encrypted DICOM volumes, which can comprise confidential patient data, can be securely interchanged, archived, and distributed to users. The disclosed systems and methods can permit authorized users to access encrypted data, even if the users do not have access to the original encryption mechanism. Encrypted data stored on the volume can be easily and securely accessed by a variety of authorized users. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100138446 | SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR METADATA MANAGEMENT IN CONTENT ADDRESSABLE STORAGE - Provided is a content addressable storage (CAS) system that allows a user to request, either through an application server or directly to one or more CAS servers, files and content related to a query. In some embodiments, the content can be discovered by searching previously-stored metadata related to each file at the content addressable storage server. The search can also be replicated across multiple content addressable storage servers in order to obtain varied results and redundant results. Duplicate results may be flagged or omitted, and the results are returned to the requester. | 06-03-2010 |

| 20110320469 | SHARED ARCHIVES IN INTERCONNECTED CONTENT-ADDRESSABLE STORAGE SYSTEMS - Some of the embodiments herein provide a seamless cloud of storage. This storage may be content-addressable storage. An end application may or may not be exposed to the fact that content-addressable storage is used. Various embodiments herein provide event notification, which may allow applications or users to subscribe to particular events (such as storage of an X-ray by a particular entity). Some embodiments provide for a shared archive. A shared archive may provide homogeneous access to medical data, etc. that was previously stored into the CAS cloud by heterogeneous applications, varied data types, etc. Additionally, embodiments herein allow for the creation and distribution of virtual packages. For example, a user may create a virtual package for all images related to a patient so that she may have a virtual package of all of her medical data to present to a referring physician. | 12-29-2011 |
| 20120005226 | MANAGEMENT OF VIRTUAL PACKAGES OF MEDICAL DATA IN INTERCONNECTED CONTENT-ADDRESSABLE STORAGE SYSTEMS - Some of the embodiments herein provide a seamless cloud of storage.
