First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for generating a medical image, comprising the steps of:
- making an acquired data set of an anatomical organ, to be depicted with a display attribute selected from the group consisting of a magnification factor and an image section of the anatomical organ, available to a data processor;
making a user preference for said display attribute available to the data processor;
in said data processor, automatically determining said display attribute dependent on said organ and dependent on said user preference; and
from said data processor, causing said data set of said anatomical organ to be visually displayed in a display presentation embodying the automatically determined display attribute.

Abstract
In a method for generation of a medical image, starting from an acquired data set of an organ to be depicted, a magnification factor and/or an image section to be depicted are automatically determined dependent on the organ to be depicted. Based on this a medical image is generated from the data set. A data processing unit for medical images is fashioned for implementation of such a method and computer software implements such a method when it is executed on a data processing unit.

9. A data processor for generating a medical image, comprising:
-
a data input that receives an acquired data set of an anatomical organ, to be depicted with a display attribute selected from the group consisting of a magnification factor and an image section of the anatomical organ;
an input unit allowing entry into the data processor of a user preference for said display attribute;
said data processor automatically determining said display attribute dependent on said organ and dependent on said user preference; and
said data processor automatically generating an output comprising display presentation data wherein said data set of said anatomical organ is displayed in a display presentation embodying the automatically determined display attribute.

10. A computer-readable medium encoded with a data structure, said computer-readable medium being loadable into a data processor, and said data structure, when said computer-readable medium is loaded in said data processor, causing said data processor to:
-
receive an acquired data set of an anatomical organ, to be depicted with a display attribute selected from the group consisting of a magnification factor and an image section of the anatomical organ, to a data processor;
allow entry into the data processor of a user preference for said display attribute;
automatically determine said display attribute dependent on said organ and dependent on said user preference; and
cause said data set of said anatomical organ to be visually displayed in a display presentation embodying the automatically determined display attribute.
