US 2019/0154780 A1 · MRI APPARATUS CONTROL SYSTEM, A USER INTERFACE FOR MANAGING THE SAID CONTROL SYSTEM AND AN MRI SYSTEM COMPRISING THE SAID CONTROL SYSTEM AND THE SAID USER INTERFACE

Abstract

An MRI control system with a user interface which is windows inspired by including toolbars at the upper side of the window, providing active labels related to specific examinations or classes of tasks, each label opening specific windows related to the task again provided with toolbars, active buttons and menus. According to a further aspect the control system is configured for providing a dynamic interaction between the records in a database relating to single cases of the same patient or of different patient, which allows to address the record of a database to which a visualized image or data report belongs by simply clicking on the image or report or by visualizing the said image or report.

Dependent claims

An MRI control system with a user interface, wherein the user interface comprises one or more automatically configured windows, each window being the interface configured in a pre-set manner to have the functions and tools for carrying out a specific task or process;

the system is configured to display the windows one at a time, in an overlapping manner, or one beside the other,
the configuration of each window consisting in a task or process contextualized combination of a frame and graphic represented input tools each one for activating a specific function needed in relation to specific tasks or processes.

A method for managing records of a database and/or data and image files with a user interface,

the said files being saved in a logical memory location defined by a file system structure and/or in a location in the structure of a database, each file being univocally identified by a file name, a dedicated icon and a path in the file system identifying one or more nested folders in which the file is saved,
the said method comprises the steps of
displaying in a dedicated area the tree structure of the file system and/or of the database and highlighting in the said tree structure a file which is open;
displaying the file content in a display area besides the area for displaying the tree structure of the file system or the database structure and in a dedicated window;
automatically updating the representation of the tree structure of the file system or the representation of the structure of the database when the window showing the content of an open file is shifted in a foreground for visualization or a selection action is executed on the display area in which the file content is displayed by highlighting the file name and icon in the said tree structure corresponding to the file content in the window being visualized in the foreground.
