Transmitting medical datasets
The present embodiments relate to a method for transmitting medical datasets. The method includes receiving a patient dataset from an internal data storage, the patient dataset including patient identification data and patient examination data. The method further includes generating an anonymized patient dataset by segregating the patient identification data from the received patient dataset. The method further includes generating an encrypted patient identification dataset on the basis of the segregated patient identification data. The method further includes transmitting the anonymized patient dataset and the encrypted patient identification dataset to an external data storage.
1. A method for transmitting medical datasets, the method comprising:
receiving a patient dataset from an internal data storage, the patient dataset comprising patient identification data and patient examination data;
generating a DICOM file including an anonymized patient dataset by segregating the patient identification data from the received patient dataset, the anonymized patient dataset including a first logical link to an encrypted patient identification dataset;
generating a JavaScript-Object-Notation-file including the encrypted patient identification dataset using the segregated patient identification data, the encrypted patient identification dataset including a second logical link to the anonymized patient dataset;
storing the encrypted patient identification dataset in a separate file than the anonymized patient dataset; and
verifying a user authorization;
wherein after a non-successful verification of the user authorization, only the DICOM file is transmitted to an external data storage;
wherein after a successful verification of the user authorization, the DICOM file and the JavaScript-Object-Notation-file are transmitted to the external data storage.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the anonymized patient dataset and the encrypted patient identification dataset are stored separately in the external data storage.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the anonymized patient dataset and the encrypted patient identification dataset are stored in the internal data storage.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the anonymized patient dataset and the encrypted patient identification dataset are transmitted from the external data storage to a wireless mobile terminal or a personal computer.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the external data storage is provided remotely in a network.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the external data storage sends a message to connected units in response to receiving the anonymized patient dataset, the encrypted patient identification dataset, or the anonymized patient dataset and the encrypted patient identification dataset.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein a message for receiving the patient dataset is sent to the internal data storage.
