A central server controls the receipt and analysis of patient medical data and patient information. The central server receives patient medical data and patient information from a remote computer. A storage system stores the received patient medical data, patient information, and the associated medical report prepared at analysis workstations at any location after analysis of the patient medical data. A processor controls access to and analysis of the patient medical data by analysis workstations and controls access to the medical report. The central server transmits the patient medical data to and receives the associated medical report from analysis workstations. The central server transmits the medical report associated with the patient medical data to the remote computer. Also, a method controls the acquisition and analysis of patient medical data over a network by a central server from a remote computer operably interconnected by the network with the central server.
