20110279477Medical Image Processing and Handling System - An image processing and handling system is provided for the efficient combination of image data from multiple sources and of different types. The system includes an image processing device having an electronic control unit (ECU) that receives a first set of image data from an image data provider such as a PACS server over a telecommunications network. The first set of image data includes image pixel data from a first image of a physical structure in a living being and may be obtained from a DICOM compatible file. The ECU is further configured to combine the first set of image data with a second set of image data to form a combined set of image data. The second and combined sets of image data may each include pixel data for second and combined images, respectively of the physical structure. The ECU is further configured to transmit the combined set of image data to a remote computing device over a second telecommunications network11-17-2011
