AUTOMATED IMAGING PROTOCOL MANAGEMENT FOR HYBRID MODALITIES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18508837 titled 'AUTOMATED IMAGING PROTOCOL MANAGEMENT FOR HYBRID MODALITIES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes systems or techniques that enable automated imaging protocol management for hybrid modalities, involving different medical imaging scanners. The system can perform various tasks such as scanner registration management, protocol dependency management, protocol commit management, remote protocol marking management, protocol restore management, protocol editing management, and scanner-protocol incompatibility management.

  • Hybrid modalities: The system can manage imaging protocols across different medical imaging scanners of varying image-capture modalities.
  • Automated protocol management: The system can handle various aspects of imaging protocol management automatically, including registration, dependency, commit, marking, restore, editing, and incompatibility.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in medical imaging facilities, research institutions, and hospitals to streamline imaging protocol management for hybrid modalities.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the challenge of managing imaging protocols across different types of medical imaging scanners efficiently and accurately.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved workflow efficiency, reduced errors in protocol management, and enhanced compatibility between different imaging scanners.

Potential Commercial Applications

A potential commercial application for this technology could be in the development and sale of software solutions for automated imaging protocol management in medical settings.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be existing software solutions for managing imaging protocols in medical imaging facilities, although they may not specifically address the challenges of hybrid modalities.

What are the specific techniques used for hybrid-aware protocol management in this system?

The specific techniques used for hybrid-aware protocol management in this system include scanner registration management, protocol dependency management, protocol commit management, remote protocol marking management, protocol restore management, protocol editing management, and scanner-protocol incompatibility management.

How does this system ensure compatibility between different imaging scanners in terms of protocol management?

This system ensures compatibility between different imaging scanners by electronically accessing and managing imaging protocols across multiple scanners, regardless of their image-capture modalities. By automating various aspects of protocol management, the system can ensure seamless operation and compatibility between different scanners.


Original Abstract Submitted

Systems or techniques that facilitate automated imaging protocol management for hybrid modalities are provided. In various embodiments, a system can electronically access a first medical imaging scanner and a second medical imaging scanner, wherein the first medical imaging scanner and the second medical imaging scanner can be of different image-capture modalities. In various aspects, the system can electronically perform automated imaging protocol management across the first medical imaging scanner and the second medical imaging scanner. In various instances, such automated imaging protocol management can comprise: hybrid-aware scanner registration management; hybrid-aware protocol dependency management; hybrid-aware protocol commit management; hybrid-aware remote protocol marking management; hybrid-aware protocol restore management; hybrid-aware protocol editing management; or hybrid-aware scanner-protocol incompatibility management.
