Abstract
A method of logging and storing of a sequence of acquired X-ray image frame data in an X-ray imaging lab includes logging and updating image frame data related information in a non-volatile memory on a real-time basis upon completion of storage of each image frame data and deleting the logged information upon completion of storage of the sequence of X-ray image frames.
Claims7
A method of logging and storing of a sequence of X-ray image frame data acquired by an X-ray imaging lab, wherein the X-ray imaging lab includes a control unit having a real-time program module and a non-real-time program module, said method comprising:
- the real-time program module acquiring and storing the sequence of X-ray image frame data;
- the real-time program module logging into a log file, in real time, a cumulative number of image frames stored, said logging being performed upon completion of storing an image frame;
- and
- upon completion of the acquiring and storing of the sequence of X-ray image frame data, deleting the log file, wherein the presence of the log file upon a power-up of the X-ray imaging lab indicates that the X-ray imaging lab is powering up from a power interruption that happened in the middle of an X-ray image frame data acquisition and storing session.
A computer readable program storage device, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the computer to perform a method of logging and storing of a sequence of X-ray image frame data acquired by an X-ray imaging lab, wherein the X-ray imaging lab includes a control unit having a real-time program module and a non-real-time program module and wherein said method comprising:
- the real-time program module acquiring and storing the sequence of X-ray image frame data;
- the real-time program module logging into a log file, in real time, a cumulative number of image frames stored, said logging being performed upon completion of storing an image frame;
- and
- upon completion of the acquiring and storing of the sequence of X-ray image frame data, deleting the log file, wherein the presence of the log file upon a power-up of the system indicates that the system is powering up from a power interruption that happened in the middle of an X-ray image frame data acquisition and storing session.
