Abstract:
1. A system for generating digital media volumes for distribution to a recipient, the system comprising: a computer-implemented interface configured to receive an order to produce a digital media volume containing a user-specified DICOM-standard digital image or set of images for distribution to a recipient; one or more modalities configured to digitally capture medical data; a processor communicatively coupled to the one or more modalities via a computer connection or network, the processor being configured to access the medical data from the one or more modalities and process the medical data into DICOM-standard digital images and cataloging data associated with the digital images; a server communicatively coupled to the processor and to the computer-implemented interface via a computer connection or network, the server being configured to receive the order from the interface and access from the processor the specified DICOM-standard digital image(s) and cataloging data associated with the image(s), based on the order; a data recorder device remotely located from the processor, and communicatively coupled to the server via a computer connection or network, the data recorder device being configured to receive the specified DICOM-standard digital image(s) from the server and record the DICOM-standard digital image(s) to a portable digital media volume that is removable from the data recorder device for distribution to the recipient; and a label printer communicatively coupled to the server via a computer connection or network, the printer being configured to receive the cataloging data from the server and print a shipping label for the digital media volume based on information regarding the recipient parsed from the cataloging data, wherein the server comprises an invoicing module configured to generate invoicing data using attributes of the order and transmit the invoicing data to an invoice printer or to the user, based on the creation of the portable digital media volume by the data recorder device.
