ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD-INFLUENCED DATA ACQUISITION, PROCESSING, AND DISPLAY SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To carry out acquisition of medical image data, acquisition process, processing of image data, and display. PSOLUTION: The electronic medical record may include past imaging information (14), as well as parameter settings, protocol identifications, and any other information extracted from the previous imaging data (14) or derived from that data (14). The EMR may also include non-imaging data (16), such as clinical data, and results of various examinations performed of a non-imaging type. Based upon the information in the electronic medical record, recommendations (88, 102) of future imaging may be made, as well as recommendations of protocols, and techniques for acquisition, reconstruction, processing, analysis, display, and visualization. The information in the EMR may be used directly for setting imaging system parameters (114) in future imaging acquisition and post-acquisition processing. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
