Abstract
In a control method for a screen display of a medical imaging system, an image data set of a patient is acquired and a comparison of the acquired image data set is made with a number of pre-stored image data sets, each of which is stored with layout parameters for the screen display associated therewith. Display of the acquired image data set take place with the layout parameters of the pre-stored image data set that has the greatest similarity with the acquired image data set.
Claims14
A control method for presenting an acquired medical image data set at a display screen, said method comprising:
- with a computer, acquiring an image data set representing an image of a patient;
- in said computer, comparing the acquired image data set with a plurality of pre-stored image data sets, each of said pre-stored image data sets being stored with layout parameters associated therewith for a screen display of the respective associated image data set;
- in said computer, identifying one of said pre-stored image data sets having a greatest similarity to said acquired image data set;
- and
- from said computer, displaying the acquired image data set at a display screen in communication with said computer with the layout parameters of said one of said pre-stored image data sets having said greatest similarity to the acquired image data set.
A medical imaging apparatus, comprising:
- a data acquisition scanner;
- a computer configured to operate the data acquisition scanner in order to acquire raw data from a patient, and said computer being configured to reconstruct an image data set from said raw data;
- said computer being configured to compare the acquired image data set with a plurality of pre-stored image data sets, each of said pre-stored image data sets being stored with layout parameters associated therewith for a screen display of the respective associated image data set;
- said computer being configured to identify one of said pre-stored image data sets having a greatest similarity to said acquired image data set;
- and
- said computer being configured to display the acquired image data set at a display screen in communication with said computer with the layout parameters of said one of said pre-stored image data sets having said greatest similarity to the acquired image data set.
A non-transitory, computer-readable data storage medium encoded with programming instructions, said storage medium being loaded into a computer and said programming instructions causing said computer to:
- acquire an image data set representing an image of a patient;
- compare the acquired image data set with a plurality of pre-stored image data sets, each of said pre-stored image data sets being stored with layout parameters associated therewith for a screen display of the respective associated image data set;
- identify one of said pre-stored image data sets having a greatest similarity to said acquired image data set;
- and
- display the acquired image data set at a display screen in communication with said computer with the layout parameters of said one of said pre-stored image data sets having said greatest similarity to the acquired image data set.
