Abstract
In a method for implementation of a medical examination on a patient using a configurable medical examination apparatus, a reconstruction document is loaded into the program controller of the examination apparatus, and the reconstruction document is stored in a basic measurement forming the basis of an intended repeat measurement, and the repeat measurement is implemented by automatic execution of the measurement protocols stored in the reconstruction document with the measurement parameter configuration likewise stored in the reconstruction document and forming the basis of the basic measurement.
Claims9
A method for implementing a medical examination on a patient using a configurable medical examination apparatus, comprising the steps of:
- in a basic examination of a patient using a configurable medical examination apparatus generating a reconstruction document having stored therein all measurement protocols and measurement parameter configurations, including manually-entered modifications to said protocols and parameters, used in the basic examination;
- for a repeat examination of the patient using a configurable medical examination apparatus corresponding to the configurable medical examination apparatus used for the basic examination, having a program controller, loading said reconstruction document into the program controller;
- and
- executing said repeat measurement with said configurable medical examination apparatus corresponding to the medically configurable examination apparatus used for the basic examination, by automatic execution of said measurement protocols and parameter configurations and modifications stored in said reconstruction document.
A configurable medical examination apparatus comprising:
- a data acquisition unit configured to interact with a patient to acquire medically-relevant data from the patient;
- and
- a program controller connected to said data acquisition unit, said program controller being loaded with and programmed by a reconstruction document generated in a previously-conducted basic examination of the patient, said reconstruction document containing all measurement protocols and parameter configurations, and any manually-made modifications to said measurement protocols and parameter configurations, used in said previously-conducted basic examination, and said program controller implementing said repeat measurement with said data acquisition unit by automatically executing the measurement protocols and parameter configurations and modifications stored in said reconstruction document.
A computer readable medium encoded with a data structure, said computer readable medium being loadable into a program controller of a medically configurable examination apparatus, and said data structure causing said program controller to automatically execute a repeat measurement to acquire medically-relevant data from a patient, using medically configurable examination apparatus, according to a reconstruction document contained in the data structure that comprises measurement protocols and measurement parameter configurations and manually-made modifications to said measurement protocols and parameter configurations, from a previously-conducted basic examination of the patient using a configurable medical examination apparatus corresponding to said medically configurable examination apparatus operated by said program controller.
