1. A method of anonymously displaying a plurality of images comprising:
receiving from a client on a server digital data processor device a primary study, the primary study selected from a plurality of studies, where the plurality of studies each comprise at least one image and a non-pixel meta-data information, where the non-pixel meta-data information comprises one or more PHI values (Protected Health Information values), where the primary study comprises a primary image and a first non-pixel meta-data information comprising one or more first PHI values; and
executing on the server digital data processor device a render server program comprising:
a. applying two or more Study Selection Rules to generate a plurality of secondary studies based on one or more first DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine) parameters from the primary study and/or one or more first Abstract Tags from the primary study;
b. generating an image set comprising the primary study and at least a secondary study selected from the plurality of secondary studies, where the secondary study comprises a secondary image and a second non-pixel meta-data information comprising one or more second PHI values;
c. applying one or more Protocol Selection Rules to select a Display Protocol from a plurality of Available Display Protocols, where the one or more Protocol Selection Rules are based on one or more second DICOM parameters of the secondary study and one or more second Abstract Tags of the secondary study;
d. receiving from the client a dialog for exporting data, where the dialog comprises an option to de-identify the one or more PHI values, where the option to de-identify the one or more PHI values is configured;
e. using a secure hash function to compute one or more first secure values which de-identify the one or more first PHI values and one or more second secure values which de-identify the one or more second PHI values; and
f. displaying the image set based on one or more of the Display Protocol, where at least the primary study is displayed with the one or more first PHI values replaced with the one or more first secure values, where at least the secondary study is displayed with the one or more second PHI values replaced with the one or more second secure values.
