Abstract
A diagnostic imaging apparatus includes a protocol alteration history recording unit, a protocol alteration information detecting unit and a protocol alteration information displaying unit. The protocol alteration history recording unit records alteration histories according to protocols as protocol alteration history data. The protocol alteration information detecting unit detects an alteration about a designated protocol as protocol alteration information in accordance with the protocol alteration history data. The protocol alteration information displaying unit displays the protocol alteration information.
Claims27
A diagnostic imaging apparatus comprising:
- a protocol alteration history recording unit configured to record alteration histories according to protocols as protocol alteration history data;
- a protocol alteration information detecting unit configured to detect an alteration about a designated protocol as protocol alteration information in accordance with the protocol alteration history data;
- and
- a protocol alteration information displaying unit configured to display the protocol alteration information.
1 more element
A diagnostic imaging apparatus comprising:
- a protocol data storage unit configured to store protocols;
- a protocol parameter extracting unit configured to extract a selected protocol from the protocol data storage unit in accordance with selection information of the selected protocol;
- a protocol parameter storage unit configured to store the selected protocol extracted by the protocol parameter extracting unit;
- a protocol parameter recording unit configured to update a parameter of the selected protocol by altering the parameter and writing an altered protocol to the protocol data storage unit in case of receiving an input of alteration information to the parameter;
- and
