A method of storing content on a portable computer-readable medium, the method comprising: with a computer system, receiving a request to initiate transmission, from an image archive, of a medical image in a standardized format compliant with a medical imaging standard for communicating medical images between computer systems adapted to receive the medical images in the standardized format to be stored onto the portable computer-readable medium as part of a publishing operation; receiving a request to initiate transmission of additional data in a second format, other than the standardized format, from a computer memory device to be stored on the portable computer-readable medium with the medical image during the publishing operation, wherein the additional data in the second format is not usable in combination with the medical image in the standardized format; receiving, in a non-transitory, computer-readable memory operatively connected to the computer system, the medical image and the additional data to be stored on the portable computer-readable medium during the publishing operation; associating the additional data with the medical image so the additional data is stored with the medical image on the portable computer-readable medium during the publishing operation; and initiating the publishing operation comprising storing the medical image and the additional data on the portable computer-readable medium with a file management application that, when executed by a user computer to which the portable computer-readable medium has been introduced, provides a user with a common user interface including a menu of selectable options that are manually selectable by the user to access both the medical image on the portable computer-readable medium and the additional data on the portable computer-readable medium from the common user interface.
