1. A computer-implemented method for processing a medical data set, the method comprising:
receiving the medical data set from a medical system, the medical system being part of a local network;
accessing a cloud system that includes an image of at least one edge application, the at least one edge application corresponding to a cloud-based application stored in the cloud system;
downloading and installing the image of the at least one edge application from the cloud system on a processing system of the local network to initialize the at least one edge application on the processing system of the local network, wherein the cloud system is separate from the local network, the at least one edge application and the cloud-based application are configured to process the medical data set to produce a same output data set, and the at least one edge application is a software application executable by the processing system;
determining whether to process the medical data set by the at least one edge application or the cloud-based application;
processing the medical data set by at least one of the at least one edge application or the cloud-based application by inputting the medical data set into the at least one edge application or the cloud-based application and generating an output data set, the processing including performing at least one of pattern recognition, image registration, image enhancement or masking on the medical data set; and
providing the output data set.
