Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of digital medical technology, and in particular to a method for generating and storing medical image scanning schemes. Background Technology

[0002] In hospitals, various examinations used to diagnose patients' conditions typically require scanning to obtain medical images, providing healthcare professionals with a basis for diagnosis. Medical imaging refers to the techniques and processes used to obtain images of internal tissues of the human body or a part of the body in a non-invasive manner for medical treatment or research.

[0003] Currently, medical imaging has become one of the most important tools in clinical diagnosis and treatment. Everyone undergoes multiple imaging examinations throughout their lives, or multiple follow-up examinations are required during the long treatment process for the same disease. With existing technology, when a patient undergoes an imaging examination, every parameter needs to be re-tested for each examination, resulting in low efficiency and a significant waste of medical resources.

[0004] On the other hand, both clinicians and patients hope that medical examinations can provide the same patient with as consistent results as possible across different hospitals (testing institutions) and at different times. In a diagnosis and treatment process based on medical imaging, the consistency of the display and presentation of medical images ensures a consistent interpretation and diagnosis of the patient's medical images and guarantees the normal and smooth implementation of the patient's treatment process. However, in actual clinical diagnosis, due to the different manufacturers of equipment purchased by different medical institutions and the varying skill levels of the equipment operators, the test results obtained by a patient at a primary care hospital may differ to varying degrees from the results obtained at three different hospitals. This difference can affect the clinician's judgment and reduce the accuracy of follow-up tests. Summary of the Invention

[0041] The present invention will be further illustrated by way of embodiments below, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments described herein.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this embodiment discloses a method for generating a medical image scanning scheme, the method comprising:

[0044] Step S101: Obtain historical scanning protocol data; the historical scanning protocol data includes twin data of historical patients and twin data of historical technicians;

[0045] Twin data for historical patients can include historical patient characteristics and historical examination sites.

[0046] Historical patient characteristics include those with stable factors and those with active factors. Characteristics with stable factors may include information on implanted devices, age, gestational age (a stable characteristic obtained through estimation), weight, height, and sex. Characteristics with active factors may include health conditions such as pregnancy, fever, pain, level of consciousness, regularity of breathing, irregular heart rate, and voluntary movement.

[0047] Step S102: Obtain the portrait data of the current patient to be scanned and the initial twin data of the current technician;

[0048] The initial twin data for the current technician can be the current technician's habits for registering patient characteristics, such as obtaining it from the Radiology Information System (RIS) or manually registering it.

[0049] The initial twin data of the current technician can also include personalized settings such as the interface settings for operating medical equipment, text display, and whether navigation mode is enabled.

[0050] The initial twin data of the current technicians can include positioning specifications, types of scanning protocols, execution order of different scanning protocols, parameter settings in each scanning protocol, and adjustments for unexpected events during the scanning process.

[0051] Specifically, the step of acquiring the portrait data of the patient to be scanned may include:

[0052] The process involves acquiring at least one of the following to generate patient profile data: patient inquiry information, patient characteristic information, patient historical examination information, and patient physiological signals. Patient inquiry information may include, for example, the location of pain, past medical history, pregnancy status, family medical history, and contrast agent allergies. Patient characteristic information may include, for example, the patient's height, weight, age, self-care ability, and body shape. Patient historical examination information may include historical scan sites and types of historical scanning equipment.

[0053] Specifically, the step of obtaining the patient's historical examination information may include:

[0054] Facial recognition is performed on the patient to obtain the patient's facial data;

[0055] The database is queried based on the facial data to obtain the historical examination information of patients whose facial data matches the data.

[0056] In this plan, before scanning a patient, an inquiry and information entry are required. Specifically, the patient's information needs to be verified, a safety review needs to be conducted, and precautions need to be communicated. Information related to the current scan needs to be recorded, such as implants in the patient's body and the patient's health status.

[0057] Step S103: The historical scan plan data is fused with the current patient's profile data and the current technician's initial twin data to generate a medical imaging scan plan for the current patient. The medical imaging scan plan for the current patient and the historical scan plan data can be executed on different devices. For example, the medical imaging scan plan for the current patient and the historical scan plan data can be executed on the same type of device located in different hospitals. Alternatively, the medical imaging scan plan for the current patient and the historical scan plan data can be executed on different types or different modal devices located in the same hospital.

[0058] This solution, a method for generating medical imaging scan plans, integrates historical scan plan data with the current patient's profile data and the technician's initial twin data to generate a medical imaging scan plan specifically for the current patient. This allows for the generation of a medical imaging scan plan for the current patient based on historical patient twin data, historical technician twin data, the current patient's profile data, and the technician's initial twin data, eliminating the need to re-test each examination parameter. This improves imaging examination efficiency and reduces costs.

[0059] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one implementable manner, when the current patient to be scanned and the historical patient are the same patient and the scanning area of ​​the current patient to be scanned is the same as the scanning area of ​​the historical patient, step S103 includes:

[0060] Step S10311: Extract historical scanning parameters from the twin data of the historical technician;

[0061] Step S10312: The historical scanning parameters are fused with the portrait data of the current patient to be scanned and the initial twin data of the current technician to generate a medical image scanning plan for the current patient to be scanned.

[0062] This solution extracts historical scanning parameters from the twin data of the historical technicians and merges them with the portrait data of the current patient to be scanned and the initial twin data of the current technician to generate a medical imaging scanning plan for the current patient. This allows the use of the twin data of the historical technicians to generate a medical imaging scanning plan for the current patient when the current patient to be scanned is the same as the historical patient and the scanning area of ​​the current patient to be scanned is the same as that of the historical patient. This improves the efficiency of imaging examinations and reduces the cost of imaging examinations.

[0063] like Figure 4 As shown, in one implementable manner, when the current patient to be scanned and the historical patient are the same patient and the scanning site of the current patient to be scanned is a different region of interest than the scanning site of the historical patient, step S103 includes:

[0064] Step S10321: Determine whether there is a correlation between the region of interest of the current patient to be scanned and the region of interest of the historical patients. If so, proceed to step S10322.

[0065] The correlation between the region of interest (ROI) of the current patient being scanned and the ROI of historical patients can be that the ROI of the current patient being scanned and the ROI of historical patients correspond to the same body part, such as the head, chest, abdomen, limbs, or other large body parts.

[0066] In one embodiment, the step of determining whether there is a correlation between the region of interest of the current patient being scanned and the regions of interest of historical patients is as follows:

[0067] The first step is to obtain the patient's identity information, equipment type, examination site, and disease category.

[0068] The second step is to extract the fields of the current patient's identity information, device type, and examination site.

[0069] The third step is to query historical patients who are the same as the current patient based on the current patient's identity information, and extract the fields of identity information, device type, and examination site of the historical patient.

[0070] Step 4: Check if the fields of the current patient's identity information, device type, and examination site are the same as those of the historical patient. If so, determine that the region of interest (ROI) of the current patient to be scanned is related to the ROI of the historical patient. Step S10322: Obtain the local twin data of the historical technician and all or partial twin data of the historical patient from the historical scanning protocol data;

[0071] Step S10323: The local twin data of the historical technician and all or part of the twin data of the historical patient are fused with the portrait data of the current patient to be scanned and the initial twin data of the current technician to generate a medical image scanning plan for the current patient to be scanned.

[0072] In this scheme, the local twin data of the historical technician includes at least one of the following: positioning method, scanning navigation parameters, radio frequency parameter threshold, and gradient parameter threshold.

[0073] This solution acquires partial twin data of historical technicians and all or partial twin data of historical patients from historical scanning plan data. It then merges this partial twin data with the current patient's profile data and the current technician's initial twin data to generate a medical imaging scanning plan for the current patient. This allows for the reuse of the historical technician's twin data and the historical patient's twin data when the current patient and the historical patient are the same patient, the region of interest (ROI) of the current patient is different from that of the historical patient, and there is a correlation between the ROI of the current patient and the ROI of the historical patient. This improves imaging examination efficiency and reduces imaging examination costs.

[0074] In one implementable manner, the generation method further includes:

[0075] If the scanned area of ​​the patient to be scanned this time is not related to the region of interest of the scanned patient in the past, then obtain the partial twin data of the historical technician and the partial twin data of the historical patient from the historical scan plan data;

[0076] The twin data of the historical technicians and the twin data of the historical patients are fused with the portrait data of the patient to be scanned and the initial twin data of the current technician to generate a medical image scanning plan for the patient to be scanned.

[0077] This solution acquires all twin data of historical technicians and patients from historical scanning protocol data, and then merges this data with the portrait data of the patient to be scanned and the initial twin data of the current technician to generate a medical imaging scanning protocol for the current patient. This allows for the partial reuse of twin data from historical technicians and patients when the current patient and the historical patient are the same patient, the region of interest (ROI) of the current patient is different from that of the historical patient, and there is a correlation between the ROI of the current patient and the ROI of the historical patient. This improves imaging examination efficiency and reduces imaging examination costs.

[0078] In one embodiment, the step of determining whether there is a correlation between the region of interest of the current patient being scanned and the regions of interest of historical patients for similar cases from different patients may include:

[0079] The first step is to obtain the equipment type, examination site, and disease category corresponding to the current patient;

[0080] The second step is to extract the fields for equipment type, examination site, and disease category, respectively.

[0081] The third step is to search the historical scan protocol data for matching scan protocol data based on the fields of equipment type, examination site, and disease category. If a matching scan protocol data is found in the historical scan protocol data based on the fields of equipment type, examination site, and disease category (the equipment type, examination site, and disease category are the same for both), it is determined that there is a correlation between the region of interest of the current patient to be scanned and the region of interest of the historical patient. That is, the current patient to be scanned and the historical patient are different patients and the scanning site of the current patient to be scanned is the same as the scanning site of the historical patient.

[0082] Furthermore, based on the current patient's physical characteristics, the optimal scanning protocol can be determined from all matching scanning protocol data. The optimal scanning protocol shows the highest degree of matching between the physical characteristics of historical patients and the current patient.

[0083] like Figure 5 As shown, in one implementable manner, when the current patient to be scanned is different from the historical patient and the scanning area of ​​the current patient to be scanned is the same as the scanning area of ​​the historical patient, step S103 includes:

[0084] Step S10331: In the historical scanning scheme data, determine the reference twin data of historical patients that are compatible with the portrait data of the current patient to be scanned;

[0085] Step S10332: Determine the reference twin data of the historical technician based on the reference twin data of the historical patients;

[0086] Step S10333: At least a portion of the historical technician's reference twin data is fused with the current patient's portrait data and the current technician's initial twin data to generate a medical image scanning plan for the current patient.

[0087] This solution identifies reference twin data of historical patients that matches the portrait data of the current patient to be scanned from the historical scan plan data. Then, it determines reference twin data of historical technicians based on the historical patients' reference twin data. At least a portion of the historical technicians' reference twin data is then fused with the portrait data of the current patient to be scanned and the initial twin data of the current technician to generate a medical imaging scan plan for the current patient. This allows for the reuse of the historical technicians' twin data and the historical patients' twin data when the current patient to be scanned is different from the historical patient, and the scanning area of ​​the current patient is the same as that of the historical patient. This results in the generation of a medical imaging scan plan tailored to the current patient, thereby improving imaging examination efficiency and reducing imaging examination costs.

[0088] In one feasible approach, the step of acquiring the local twin data of the historical patient includes:

[0089] Obtain the patient's historical profile data from the twin data of the historical patient;

[0090] The changes in the patient's current profile data compared to historical profile data are analyzed to obtain analytical results. Specifically, the changes in the patient's current profile data compared to historical profile data can be determined by comparing the similarity between the current profile data and historical profile data.

[0091] This solution can display the analysis results, allowing technicians to see them intuitively and easily confirm them, further ensuring the accuracy of obtaining the local twin data of the historical patients.

[0092] Based on the analysis results, twin data of patients with stable factors are obtained from the twin data of the patients, and used as local twin data of the historical patients. Specifically, the twin data of patients with stable factors in the twin data of the patients includes at least one of the following: patient body shape data and patient implant information within a preset time period, and patient age.

[0093] In this protocol, if the current image data is the same as the historical image data, but the lesion area has changed due to radiotherapy or chemotherapy, or the lesion has metastasized, it will be handled in the following ways:

[0094] After reusing historical data, changes in the location of lesions or metastasis to other places may be found during the scanning process. In this case, the operator needs to adjust the scanning plan according to the specific situation. When metastasis of lesions is found, a local scan of the location of the new lesion is added; or, in the case of suspected multiple metastases, a whole-body scan may be performed.

[0095] This approach compares the current patient's image data with historical image data to obtain the twin data of patients with stable factors from the patient's twin data. This twin data is then used as the local twin data of historical patients, thereby ensuring the accuracy of obtaining the local twin data of historical patients and thus ensuring the accuracy of the subsequent generation of medical image scanning plans for the current patient.

[0096] In one implementable manner, after step S103, the generation method includes:

[0097] The patient is scanned using the aforementioned medical imaging scanning protocol for the current patient and medical imaging scan results are generated;

[0098] The medical image scan results are stored;

[0099] Specifically, the medical imaging scan results include the patient's twin data, imaging data, and the technician's twin data.

[0100] This solution involves scanning the patient using a medical imaging scanning protocol tailored to the current patient and storing the generated medical imaging scan results. This ensures that subsequent medical imaging scans for other patients can utilize the relevant data from the current patient's medical imaging scan protocol.

[0101] Example 2

[0102] like Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment discloses a system for generating medical image scanning schemes, the system comprising:

[0103] The first acquisition module 1 is used to acquire historical scanning protocol data; the historical scanning protocol data includes twin data of historical patients and twin data of historical technicians;

[0104] Twin data for historical patients can include historical patient characteristics and historical examination sites.

[0105] Historical patient characteristics include those with stable factors and those with active factors. Characteristics with stable factors may include information on implanted devices, age, gestational age (a stable characteristic obtained through estimation), weight, height, and sex. Characteristics with active factors may include health conditions such as pregnancy, fever, pain, level of consciousness, regularity of breathing, irregular heart rate, and voluntary movement.

[0106] The second acquisition module 2 is used to acquire the portrait data of the current patient to be scanned and the initial twin data of the current technician;

[0107] The initial twin data for the current technician can be the current technician's habits for registering patient characteristics, such as obtaining it from the Radiology Information System (RIS) or manually registering it.

[0108] The initial twin data of the current technician can also include personalized settings such as the interface settings for operating medical equipment, text display, and whether navigation mode is enabled.

[0109] The initial twin data of the current technicians can include positioning specifications, types of scanning protocols, execution order of different scanning protocols, parameter settings in each scanning protocol, and adjustments for unexpected events during the scanning process.

[0110] Specifically, the step of acquiring the portrait data of the patient to be scanned may include:

[0111] The process involves acquiring at least one of the following to generate patient profile data: patient inquiry information, patient characteristic information, patient historical examination information, and patient physiological signals. Patient inquiry information may include, for example, the location of pain, past medical history, pregnancy status, family medical history, and contrast agent allergies. Patient characteristic information may include, for example, the patient's height, weight, age, self-care ability, and body shape. Patient historical examination information may include historical scan sites and types of historical scanning equipment.

[0112] Specifically, the step of obtaining the patient's historical examination information may include:

[0113] Facial recognition is performed on the patient to obtain the patient's facial data;

[0114] The database is queried based on the facial data to obtain the historical examination information of patients whose facial data matches the data.

[0115] In this plan, before scanning a patient, an inquiry and information entry are required. Specifically, the patient's information needs to be verified, a safety review needs to be conducted, and precautions need to be communicated. Information related to the current scan needs to be recorded, such as implants in the patient's body and the patient's health status.

[0116] The fusion module 3 is used to fuse the historical scan plan data with the current patient's profile data and the current technician's initial twin data to generate a medical imaging scan plan for the current patient. The medical imaging scan plan for the current patient and the historical scan plan data can be executed on different devices. For example, the medical imaging scan plan for the current patient and the historical scan plan data can be executed on similar devices located in different hospitals. Alternatively, the medical imaging scan plan for the current patient and the historical scan plan data can be executed on different types or different modal devices located in the same hospital.

[0117] This solution, a method for generating medical imaging scan plans, integrates historical scan plan data with the current patient's profile data and the technician's initial twin data to generate a medical imaging scan plan specifically for the current patient. This allows for the generation of a medical imaging scan plan for the current patient based on historical patient twin data, historical technician twin data, the current patient's profile data, and the technician's initial twin data, eliminating the need to re-test each examination parameter. This improves imaging examination efficiency and reduces costs.

[0118] In one feasible approach, when the current patient to be scanned and the historical patient are the same patient and the scanning sites of the current patient to be scanned and the historical patients are the same, the fusion module is specifically used for:

[0119] Historical scanning parameters are extracted from the twin data of the historical technicians;

[0120] The historical scan parameters are fused with the current patient's profile data and the current technician's initial twin data to generate a medical imaging scan plan for the current patient.

[0121] This solution extracts historical scanning parameters from the twin data of the historical technicians and merges them with the portrait data of the current patient to be scanned and the initial twin data of the current technician to generate a medical imaging scanning plan for the current patient. This allows the use of the twin data of the historical technicians to generate a medical imaging scanning plan for the current patient when the current patient to be scanned is the same as the historical patient and the scanning area of ​​the current patient to be scanned is the same as that of the historical patient. This improves the efficiency of imaging examinations and reduces the cost of imaging examinations.

[0122] In one feasible approach, when the current patient to be scanned and the historical patient are the same patient and the scanned area of ​​the current patient to be scanned is a different region of interest than the scanned area of ​​the historical patient, the fusion module is specifically used for:

[0123] Determine whether there is a correlation between the region of interest of the current patient to be scanned and the region of interest of the historical patients. If so, obtain the local twin data of the historical technician and all or part of the twin data of the historical patient from the historical scanning protocol data.

[0124] The correlation between the region of interest (ROI) of the current patient being scanned and the ROI of historical patients can be that the ROI of the current patient being scanned and the ROI of historical patients correspond to the same body part, such as the head, chest, abdomen, limbs, or other large body parts.

[0125] In one embodiment, the step of determining whether there is a correlation between the region of interest of the current patient being scanned and the regions of interest of historical patients is as follows:

[0126] The first step is to obtain the patient's identity information, equipment type, examination site, and disease category.

[0127] The second step is to extract the fields of the current patient's identity information, device type, examination site, and disease category.

[0128] The third step is to query historical patients who are the same as the current patient based on the current patient's identity information, and extract the fields of identity information, device type, and examination site of the historical patient.

[0129] The fourth step is to check whether the fields of the current patient's identity information, device type, and examination site are the same as those of the historical patients. If so, it is determined that there is a correlation between the region of interest of the current patient and the region of interest of the historical patient.

[0130] The partial twin data of the historical technicians and all or partial twin data of the historical patients are fused with the portrait data of the current patient to be scanned and the initial twin data of the current technician to generate a medical image scanning plan for the current patient to be scanned.

[0131] In this scheme, the local twin data of the historical technician includes at least one of the following: positioning method, scanning navigation parameters, radio frequency parameter threshold, and gradient parameter threshold.

[0132] This solution acquires partial twin data of historical technicians and all or partial twin data of historical patients from historical scanning plan data. It then merges this partial twin data with the current patient's profile data and the current technician's initial twin data to generate a medical imaging scanning plan for the current patient. This allows for the reuse of the historical technician's twin data and the historical patient's twin data when the current patient and the historical patient are the same patient, the region of interest (ROI) of the current patient is different from that of the historical patient, and there is a correlation between the ROI of the current patient and the ROI of the historical patient. This improves imaging examination efficiency and reduces imaging examination costs.

[0133] In one feasible approach, if the region of interest (ROI) of the current patient is not related to the ROI of historical patients, the fusion module is specifically used for:

[0134] Obtain partial twin data of the historical technician and partial twin data of the historical patient from the historical scanning protocol data;

[0135] The twin data of the historical technicians and the twin data of the historical patients are fused with the portrait data of the patient to be scanned and the initial twin data of the current technician to generate a medical image scanning plan for the patient to be scanned.

[0136] This solution acquires all twin data of historical technicians and patients from historical scanning protocol data, and then merges this data with the current patient's profile data and the current technician's initial twin data to generate a medical imaging scanning protocol for the current patient. This allows for the partial reuse of twin data from historical technicians and patients when the current patient and the historical patient are the same patient, the region of interest (ROI) of the current patient is different from that of the historical patient, and there is no correlation between the ROI of the current patient and the ROI of the historical patient. This improves imaging examination efficiency and reduces imaging examination costs.

[0137] In one embodiment, the step of determining whether there is a correlation between the region of interest of the current patient being scanned and the regions of interest of historical patients for similar cases from different patients may include:

[0138] The first step is to obtain the equipment type, examination site, and disease category corresponding to the current patient;

[0139] The second step is to extract the fields for equipment type, examination site, and disease category, respectively.

[0140] The third step is to search the historical scan protocol data for matching scan protocol data based on the fields of equipment type, examination site, and disease category. If a matching scan protocol data is found in the historical scan protocol data based on the fields of equipment type, examination site, and disease category (the equipment type, examination site, and disease category are the same for both), it is determined that there is a correlation between the region of interest of the current patient to be scanned and the region of interest of the historical patient. That is, the current patient to be scanned and the historical patient are different patients and the scanning site of the current patient to be scanned is the same as the scanning site of the historical patient.

[0141] Furthermore, based on the current patient's physical characteristics, the optimal scanning protocol can be determined from all matching scanning protocol data. The optimal scanning protocol shows the highest degree of matching between the physical characteristics of historical patients and the current patient.

[0142] In one feasible approach, when the current patient to be scanned and the historical patient are different patients and the scanning sites of the current patient to be scanned are the same as those of the historical patients, the fusion module is specifically used for:

[0143] In the historical scanning protocol data, reference twin data of historical patients that are compatible with the portrait data of the current patient to be scanned are determined;

[0144] The reference twin data for the historical technicians was determined based on the reference twin data of the historical patients;

[0145] At least a portion of the historical technician's reference twin data is fused with the current patient's profile data and the current technician's initial twin data to generate a medical imaging scan plan for the current patient.

[0146] This solution identifies reference twin data of historical patients that matches the portrait data of the current patient to be scanned from the historical scan plan data. Then, it determines reference twin data of historical technicians based on the historical patients' reference twin data. At least a portion of the historical technicians' reference twin data is then fused with the portrait data of the current patient to be scanned and the initial twin data of the current technician to generate a medical imaging scan plan for the current patient. This allows for the reuse of the historical technicians' twin data and the historical patients' twin data when the current patient to be scanned is different from the historical patient, and the scanning area of ​​the current patient is the same as that of the historical patient. This results in the generation of a medical imaging scan plan tailored to the current patient, thereby improving imaging examination efficiency and reducing imaging examination costs.

[0147] In one feasible approach, the fusion module is further used for:

[0148] Obtain the patient's historical profile data from the twin data of the historical patient;

[0149] The changes in the patient's current profile data compared to historical profile data are analyzed to obtain analytical results. Specifically, the changes in the patient's current profile data compared to historical profile data can be determined by comparing the similarity between the current profile data and historical profile data.

[0150] This solution can display the analysis results, allowing technicians to see them intuitively and easily confirm them, further ensuring the accuracy of obtaining the local twin data of the historical patients.

[0151] Based on the analysis results, twin data of patients with stable factors are obtained from the twin data of the patients, and used as local twin data of the historical patients. Specifically, the twin data of patients with stable factors in the twin data of the patients includes at least one of the following: patient body shape data and patient implant information within a preset time period, and patient age.

[0152] In this protocol, if the current image data is the same as the historical image data, but the lesion area has changed due to radiotherapy or chemotherapy, or the lesion has metastasized, it will be handled in the following ways:

[0153] After reusing historical data, changes in the location of lesions or metastasis to other places may be found during the scanning process. In this case, the operator needs to adjust the scanning plan according to the specific situation. When metastasis of lesions is found, a local scan of the location of the new lesion is added; or, in the case of suspected multiple metastases, a whole-body scan may be performed.

[0154] This approach compares the current patient's image data with historical image data to obtain the twin data of patients with stable factors from the patient's twin data. This twin data is then used as the local twin data of historical patients, thereby ensuring the accuracy of obtaining the local twin data of historical patients and thus ensuring the accuracy of the subsequent generation of medical image scanning plans for the current patient.

[0155] like Figure 6 As shown, in one implementable embodiment, the generation system includes:

[0156] Scanning module 4 is used to scan the patient using the medical image scanning scheme for the current patient to be scanned and generate medical image scanning results;

[0157] Storage module 5 is used to store the medical image scan results;

[0158] Specifically, the medical imaging scan results include the patient's twin data, imaging data, and the technician's twin data.

[0159] This solution involves scanning the patient using a medical imaging scanning protocol tailored to the current patient and storing the generated medical imaging scan results. This ensures that subsequent medical imaging scans for other patients can utilize the relevant data from the current patient's medical imaging scan protocol.
