Title:
分散医用イメージングシステム
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2006508760
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A distributed diagnostic imaging system ( 62 ) and method includes a data processor coupled to a variety of diagnostic imaging components through a network ( 80 ). The diagnostic imaging components include acquisition devices ( 90 ) that are used to obtain diagnostic imaging signals, displays ( 98 ) on which obtained images can be viewed, and control units ( 94 ) that are used with either acquisition units ( 90 ) or displays ( 98 ) to control the manner in which an image is obtained or displayed. The distributed nature of the system ( 62 ) makes it relatively easy and inexpensive to upgrade or modify individual imaging components, and allows the businesses of selling, distributing, and upgrading an imaging lab, and obtaining and reviewing diagnostic images to be conducted in a novel manner, such as by costing an imaging procedure on a "per use" basis.
