Embodiment Construction
[0020] The present invention generally relates to methods, systems and devices for managing imaging protocols used by organizations such as hospitals. Various embodiments described herein provide several benefits to the organization. For example, using the techniques described herein, a node-based system is used to group image scanners by type. These packets can then be used to optimize administrative tasks, such as processing and distributing updates to imaging protocols. In some embodiments, the node-based system stores imaging protocols in a centralized repository. Such a centralized repository of imaging protocols would help improve image reproducibility and consistency across sites and departments associated with an organization. In turn, this can help reduce some of the costs associated with performing imaging. The disclosed methods, systems and devices may be applied, for example, to imaging modalities such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).

Computer-implemented methods and articles of manufacture for managing imaging protocols between multiple image scanners. The computer-implemented method includes creating a plurality of parent node data records, each respective parent node data record corresponding to a distinct type of image scanner. A plurality of imaging protocols are stored, each imaging protocol associated with a distinct parent node data record included in the plurality of parent node data records. Next, a child node creation process is performed for each corresponding image scanner included in the plurality of image scanners. The child node creation process includes, for example: determining a corresponding image scanner type associated with a corresponding image scanner; identifying a corresponding parent node data record corresponding to the corresponding image scanner type; creating a data record associated with the corresponding parent node data record. identifying a corresponding imaging protocol associated with the corresponding parent node; and storing a copy of the corresponding imaging protocol at the corresponding scanner.
Description
technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to methods, systems and apparatus for managing imaging protocols across a fleet of image scanner devices. The disclosed methods, systems and devices may be applied, for example, to imaging modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Background technique [0002] Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive medical imaging technique that uses magnetization to visualize soft tissues. The contrast of MRI is extremely flexible; several physical tissue properties can be used as contrast parameters to extract anatomical, morphological and even functional information. Tissue properties may include, but are not limited to, relaxation parameters, diffuse perfusion, flow, and the like. The achieved image contrast strongly depends on the magnetic resonance (MR) protocol used (- a specific set of imaging parameters describing data acquisition and image reconstruction). Such imaging protocols are a core elem...
