Abstract
A medical imaging system includes a medical imaging device for generating image data. The medical imaging device includes a first programming interface for transferring the image data and a second programming interface for transferring the supplementary data. The medical imaging system further includes a processing device for retrieving the image data and the associated supplementary data from the medical imaging device and for carrying out a further processing based upon the image data and the supplementary data.
Claims18
A medical imaging system, comprising:
- a medical imaging device to generate image data and store associated supplementary data, the medical imaging device including a first programming interface to transfer the image data and a second programming interface to transfer the associated supplementary data, the medical imaging device being a magnetic resonance scanner or a computed tomography scanner, the associated supplementary data being a plurality of different information types associated with image quality and content of the image data;
- and
- a processor configured to
- select at least one information type of the associated supplementary data for retrieval and select corresponding function calls for the second programming interface,
- retrieve the image data and the selected associated supplementary data from the medical imaging device, and
- carry out a further processing based on the image data and the selected associated supplementary data.
A medical imaging device comprising:
- a non-transitory memory having computer-readable instructions stored thereon;
- and
- at least one processor configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to cause the medical imaging device to
- generate image data based upon recorded supplementary data, wherein the recorded supplementary data is a plurality of different information types associated with image quality and content of the image data;
- transfer the image data by a first programming interface;
- and
- transfer selected recorded supplementary data by a second programming interface, the selected recorded supplementary data being one of a partial or full set of the recorded supplementary data.
A method for carrying out a further processing of medical data, comprising:
- retrieving image data by way of a first programming interface implemented by at least one processor of a medical imaging device and retrieving selected associated supplementary data by way of a second programming interface implemented by the at least one processor of the medical imaging device, retrieving the selected associated supplementary data includes selecting specific information types of associated supplementary data for retrieval and selecting corresponding function calls for the second programming interface, wherein the associated supplementary data is a plurality of different information types associated with image quality and content;
- and
- carrying out the further processing based upon the image data and the associated supplementary data.
