System and method for remote monitoring and maintaining of medical imaging equipment

Abstract

The invention discloses a system and method for remote monitoring and maintaining of a medical imaging system. The remote monitoring and maintaining system comprises a processor, a bus communication unit, an internal network access unit and an external network access unit, wherein the bus communication unit is connected with the processor and medical imaging equipment and is used for transmitting data of the medial imaging equipment to enable the processor to conduct continuous monitoring on the medical imaging equipment, the internal network access unit is connected with the processor to enable data interaction between the processor and a host computer to be achieved, the external network access unit is connected with the processor to enable communication between the processor and an external service center to be achieved, and the processor is used for conducting continuous monitoring on the medical imaging system, receiving commands from the host computer or the external service center and responding to the commands. The remote monitoring and maintaining method comprises the steps of conducting continuous monitoring on the medical imaging system, receiving the commands from the host computer or the external service center and responding to the commands. The system and method can be used for comprehensive monitoring and remote maintaining of the medical imaging system.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of medical imaging, in particular to a remote monitoring and maintenance system and method for medical imaging equipment. Background technique [0002] At present, computer imaging technology is widely used in medical testing, and the more commonly used ones are: Ultrasound examination, X-ray imaging, Electronic Computer X-ray Tomography Technique (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) Imaging, MRI), etc. [0003] The above-mentioned imaging technologies all realize medical imaging through complex imaging equipment. The imaging system composed of these imaging devices has a common feature: each system includes multiple interrelated devices or units including the host computer. Whether these devices or units work normally will directly affect whether the imaging system can perform well. run. [0004] Take the magnetic resonance system (MRI) as an example. Compared with other medical imaging s...

Problems solved by technology

However, this patent only solves the problem of continuous monitoring, and does not solve the problem of how to provide maintenance and support for the equipment

Moreover, the continuous monitoring in this patent only refers to the continuous monitoring during the MRI operation phase, and does not include the monitoring of the operation of the magnet and compressor after the MRI system is shut down.

On the other hand, in this patent, the monitoring log is stored in the local storage system of the host. When the host is shut down or fails, the operating information and parameters of the device cannot be completely saved.
