Abstract:
Methods and systems for storing and accessing dental images. The system includes an imaging system for acquiring x-ray projection frames. The imaging system is connected to a local server through a local area network. A cloud server communicates with devices on the local area. The x-ray projection frames are transmitted from the imaging system to the local server. The local server stores the series of related x-ray projection frames according to a specified policy. In one embodiment, the x-ray projection frames are compressed into a compressed image data set using a modified video compression prediction algorithm customized for x-ray images. The compressed image data is transmitted to the cloud server for storage. The x-ray image data can be accessed from the cloud server by external devices and by other local area networks.

Claim (Index 15):
A method of managing x-ray image data, the method comprising:\n acquiring x-ray image data having a plurality of x-ray projection frames; storing the x-ray image data on an x-ray acquisition computer, the x-ray image data associated with a first patient; transmitting the x-ray image data to a local server from the x-ray acquisition computer; storing the x-ray image data on the local server; compressing the plurality of x-ray projection frames to generate a compressed data set by\n compressing the first frame using intra-frame encoding to create an encoded first frame, and \n compressing the second frame using intra-frame encoding to create an encoded second frame; \n transmitting the compressed data set from the local server to a remote server; storing the compressed data set on the remote server; retrieving patient appointment scheduling information from an electronic patient scheduling calendar, the patient appointment scheduling information including at least one of the group consisting of an amount of time elapsed since a most recent visit of the patient and an amount of time until a next expected visit of the patient; automatically deleting the x-ray image data from the local server when at least one condition is satisfied, the at least one first condition based on the patient appointment scheduling information.
