Method for remotely controlling medical apparatuses and device therefor
First Claim
1. A method for remotely controlling a medical apparatus, said medical apparatus is used to take internal images of a human body and having control command sets that comply with the DICOM specifications and is capable of generating digital image data conforming to the DICOM specifications, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) building a server and connecting said server to said medical apparatus;
(b) building at least one remote device and connecting said remote device to said server;
(c) said remote device sending at least one DICOM control command to said medical apparatus via said server; and
(d) commanding said medical apparatus to take internal images of the human body for generating said digital image data.

Abstract
A method for remotely controlling medical apparatuses and the method thereof are proposed. The medical apparatuses are used to take internal images of the human body, and have control command sets that comply with the DICOM specifications. In this method, a server is first built and connected to the medical apparatuses. A remote device is then built and connected to the server. Next, the remote device executes a remote control program to generate at least a DICOM control command, which is then sent to the server. The server then executes a communication program to perform control communications with the medical apparatuses. The medical apparatuses can thus be controlled to take images of the inside of human body for generating of digital image data complying with the DICOM specifications. The object of remote control for integrating medical apparatuses can thus be accomplished.
