Abstract
A system for controlling medical data acquisition, such as imaging, comprises a supervisory protocol controller which controls in real time a data acquisition device, such as an imaging apparatus, and an agent administration controller, such as a drug delivery device for delivering contrast agent. The supervisory protocol controller receives data from the acquisition apparatus and controls the acquisition apparatus and the administration controller based on that acquired data. Thus the acquisition protocol can be controlled and changed in response to the actual acquisition circumstances.
