Abstract

A medical device includes a storage device in which descriptions of examination orders which can be executed can be stored. The examination orders can be transferred to a planning medical system via a read-out interface. A selection of an examination order can be transferred by the planning medical system via an instruction-presetting interface. The selection can be received by the medical device via an instruction transfer interface and a corresponding job order can be executed.

Claims

1. A medical device adapted to be subordinated to a planning medical system, comprising:

a storage device adapted to store descriptions of examination orders executable by the medical device;

a read-out interface adapted to read out the descriptions from the storage device and transfer them to the planning medical system; and

an instruction transfer interface, wherein the medical device is adapted to receive a selection of an examination order from the planning medical system via the instruction transfer interface, and wherein a job order corresponding to the selected examination order is adapted to be executed.

2. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the descriptions are adapted to be transferred to the planning system in the DICOM format.

3. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the selection is adapted to be received in the DICOM format.

4. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the descriptions are adapted to be stored in the storage device in the XML format.

5. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein changes and newly preset values of descriptions are automatically transferred to the planning system.

6. The device according to claim 1, wherein the descriptions each have a name for the examination order.

7. The device according to claim 6, wherein descriptions each contain at least one of an indication, a billing key, an update status and an issuer indication.

8. The device as claimed in claim 6, wherein the descriptions of the planning system include place markers to be filled with contents.

9. The device as claimed in claim 1, the device executes the job order to be executed.

10. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the device is embodied as a medical system which passes the job order to be executed onto a medical device.

20. The device as claimed in claim 7, wherein the descriptions of the planning system include place markers to be filled with contents.

21. The device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the selection is adapted to be received in the DICOM format.

11. A planning medical system, adapted to be superordinate to a medical device, comprising:

a read-in interface; and

an instruction-presetting interface, wherein the planning medical system is adapted to receive descriptions, transmitted by the medical device via the read-in interface, of examination orders executable by the medical device, and wherein a selection of one of the examination orders is adapted to be transferred by the planning medical system via the instruction-presetting interface of the medical device.

12. A system as claimed in claim 11, wherein the descriptions transferred by the medical device are adapted to be received in the DICOM format.

13. The system as claimed in claim 11, wherein the selection of the examination order is adapted to be transferred in the DICOM format.

14. The system as claimed in claim 11, wherein a selection instruction is adapted to be preset to said system by a user via an input device.

15. The system as claimed in claim 14, wherein the descriptions are adapted to be output to the user as a list via an output device.

16. The system as claimed in claim 11, wherein the transfer of the descriptions to the planning system is adapted to be initiated by the planning system.

17. The system as claimed in claim 16, wherein the initiation of the transfer of the descriptions is repeated at periodic time intervals.

18. The system as claimed in claim 11, wherein place markers of the descriptions are adapted to be filled with contents.

19. The system as claimed in claim 18, wherein the contents are adapted to be preset interactively to the planning system.

22. The system as claimed in claim 12, wherein the selection of the examination order is adapted to be transferred in the DICOM format.

23. The system as claimed in claim 12, wherein a selection instruction is adapted to be preset to said system by a user via an input device.

24. The system as claimed in claim 13, wherein a selection instruction is adapted to be preset to said system by a user via an input device.

25. A medical device adapted to be subordinated to a planning medical system, comprising:

storage means for storing descriptions of examination orders executable by the medical device;

read-out interface means for reading out the descriptions from the storage device and for transferring them to the planning medical system; and

instruction transfer interface, wherein the medical device is adapted to receive a selection of an examination order from the planning medical system via the instruction transfer interface, and wherein a job order corresponding to the selected examination order is adapted to be executed.

26. The device as claimed in claim 25, wherein the descriptions are transferred to the planning system in the DICOM format.

27. The device as claimed in claim 25, wherein the selection is received in the DICOM format.

28. The device as claimed in claim 25, wherein the descriptions are stored in the XML format.
