Estimating the term…
A programmable, medical imaging system which incorporates algorithms for enhancing the usability of the system for clinicians is described. With respect to programmability, and in one aspect, the present invention relates to a programmable system which includes a learn mode usable for script generation. In the learn mode, a user can rehearse a sequence of actions and save those actions to be replayed later. In another aspect, the present invention is directed to an algorithm which provides a non-blocking, synchronous interface to an underlying asynchronous architecture. Generally, the algorithm decouples the client-server portion of the application from the synchronous development environment. Using this algorithm, a programmer can develop a non-blocking, highly interactive, client-server application without having to resort to asynchronous programming techniques. In yet another aspect, the present invention is directed to an overlap detection and correction algorithm which, in one form is integrated into a review template editor for creating review templates. The overlap detection and correction algorithm, in one embodiment, is a one or two boundary rectangular cell overlap detection and correction algorithm.
A programmable medical imaging system having a client-server based architecture including at least one server unit, said system comprising a computer having a graphical user interface, a graphical user interface event handler system, a memory unit, and a processing unit, said processing unit coupled to said graphical user interface, said graphical user interface event handler system, and said memory unit, said programmable medical imaging system further comprising:
A programmable medical imaging system comprising a computer having a graphical user interface, a graphical user interface event handler system, a memory unit, an interpreter for executing script commands, and a processing unit, said processing unit coupled to said graphical user interface, said graphical user interface event handler system, and said memory unit, said programmable medical imaging system having a client-server based architecture and further comprising:
An imaging system comprising a computer having a graphical user interface, a graphical user interface event handler system, a memory unit, and a processing unit, said processing unit coupled to said graphical user interface, said graphical user interface event handler system, and said memory unit, said programmable medical imaging system further comprising a script generation system operable in a learn mode for generating scripts, a synchronous execution routine for synchronously executing scripts, and a review template editor for generating a review template, said review template including at least one cell, each cell comprising medical information generated from said programmable medical imaging system, said review template editor comprising a cell overlap detection and correction routine for detecting and correcting cell overlap on said review template, said cell overlap detection and correction routine configured to determine a minimum overlap correction distance and move a first cell by the determined minimum overlap correction distance after detecting the first cell overlaps any other cell.
