Claim:
A method of viewing medical images on a remote device using a zero-client web application, the method comprising: receiving, from a user, an image series selection via the zero-client web application; establishing a connection between the zero-client web application and a web server; receiving series details from the web server; generating, by the zero-client web application, an off-screen image array according to the series details; outputting, by a buffering module, image requests to the web server based on the series details, wherein the web server is in communication with a medical image database storing images in a non-web browser compatible format; receiving, from the web server, converted medical images in response to the image requests, wherein the converted medical images are in a web browser compatible format; populating, by the buffering module, the off-screen image array with the converted medical images received from the web server; setting a first converted medical image within the off-screen image array as an on-screen image to display the first converted medical image; setting a next converted medical image from the off-screen image array as the on-screen image to display the next converted medical image in place of the first converted medical image; and sequentially setting subsequent converted medical images of the off-screen image array as the on-screen image to stream the converted medical images.
