Abstract

A medical diagnostic imaging system (10) is coupled to a hospital network (14) to optimize a throughput of a scanner (24). The hospital network includes a hospital records database (18) and a plurality of hospital computers and remote means (20). A workstation (12) is coupled to the scanner (24) and the hospital network (14) and is used to control a scanning process. The workstation (12) includes a display (44), an applications database (52), which is configurable by a user, and an interface means (48) for displaying interactive user interface screens (46) on the display (44). The interface screens (46) allow the user to configure the applications database (52) and interactively control the scanning process.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to diagnostic imaging systems and methods. The present invention is particularly useful for increasing the throughput of CT scanners and other diagnostic equipment, and will be described with particular reference to the above applications. However, it is understood that the present invention is also applicable to improving medical treatment efficiency, diagnosis efficiency, and the like. Background technique [0002] Multi-slice CT (MSCT) imaging has achieved major technological breakthroughs in a very short period of time. Sixteen-slice CT quickly became a widely used device in radiology, ET, and trauma departments. MSCT technology not only enables the acquisition of a large number of CT slices on a routine basis, but also enables the use of CT to diagnose non-traditional anatomical structures, such as cardiac vessels. The emergence of MSCT has made it possible to diagnose diseases at an early, treatable stage by routi...
