I have built a project for my client in which patients register themselves from the frontend. While they register, they can upload their medical records (pdf, doc, jpg) etc. Now I need to provide them facility to upload "DICOM" files as well which i can do in a manner as i did for above file types. But the real problem here is that DICOM files reside in CD/DVD disc (medical consultants do like this) and this data can not be transferred from CD/DVD ROM on local disk (HDD) so that he can upload it using normal file upload field.
Now my question is that:
Is there any way to point normal upload field to CD/DVD-ROM so that user can select his DICOM files from CD/DVD-ROM and then upload?
Is there any possibility to create an option for making an ISO image of the currently mounted CD/DVD-ROM, save it on HDD and then upload that ISO file through normal upload field?
