and the method further comprises: after the storing, on the cloud platform, the medical image and/or the scan data from the at least one medical imaging device,

in response to a request of acquiring a medical image and/or scan data of a scanned object which is transmitted by an electronic device, judging whether there is an access permission based on the permission setting parameter of the medical image and/or the scan data, and if it is, returning the medical image and/or the scan data.

9. A cloud platform for sharing medical image data, the cloud platform being connected to at least one medical imaging device, and the cloud platform comprising a processor and a non-transitory processor-readable medium having processor-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the cloud platform to:

receive a medical image and/or scan data transmitted from the at least one medical imaging device; and

store, on the cloud platform, the medical image and/or the scan data from the at least one medical imaging device,
