Abstract
In a method for the operation of a medical diagnosis apparatus in an examination, a region of an examination subject to be imaged is placed in an imaging volume of the diagnosis apparatus, a first dataset of the region of interest is registered with a first set of operating parameters of the diagnosis apparatus, and the first set of operating parameters and the first dataset are stored. In a follow-up examination wherein the region of interest is again placed in the imaging volume, a follow-up dataset of the region of interest is registered with the apparatus operated with the stored, first set of operating parameters and the follow-up dataset is stored.
Claims12
A method for operating a medical diagnostic apparatus comprising the steps of:
- in an examination, placing a region of an examination subject in an imaging volume of a diagnostic apparatus and obtaining a first dataset of said region of interest by operating said diagnostic apparatus with a first set of operating parameters, and storing said first set of operating parameters and said first dataset;
- and
- in a follow-up examination, after said examination, again placing said region of interest in said imaging volume, and obtaining a follow-up dataset of said region of interest by operating said diagnostic apparatus with the stored, first set of operating parameters, and storing said follow-up dataset.
A method as claimed in claim, 2 comprising aborting said follow-up examination if said comparison between said first dataset and said follow-up dataset is inconclusive regarding said positional change between said examination and said follow-up examination.
