Streamlined medical imaging network transfer

Abstract

In medical imaging, the speed and reliability with which the data is transferred is crucial since it is life-critical. Data transfer should be robust to withstand bottlenecks so that images can be transferred reliably. This paper proposes a better approach to streamline the medical image transfer and to improve transfer performance across a DICOM network. Our study indicated that the performance of medical image transfer is lowered because of waiting for the responses and this delay attributed to 25-60 percent of total transfer time. The scope of this paper is to propose an approach to overcome the delay and to improve the performance of the medical image transfer.
