INTEGRATED MEDICAL IMAGING SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. An image acquisition system operable to obtain an image of at least a portion of a body, comprising:
- an imaging system comprising at least one energy sensor to measure energy from the body, an image creating system adapted to create an image based at least in part from a signal from the at least one energy sensor, an image display in operative connection with the image creating system and a user interface in operative connection with the image creating system; and
a fluid injector system comprising at least one source of a first fluid, a pressurizing system in operative connection with the source of the first fluid, and a user interface in operative connection with the pressurizing system;
a communication system placing the imaging system and the fluid injector system in communicative connection;
the imaging system and the injector system being further operatively integrated in addition to the communication system.

Abstract
An image acquisition system operable to obtain an image of at least a portion of a body, includes an imaging system including at least one energy sensor to measure energy from the body, an image creating system adapted to create an image based at least in part from a signal from the at least one energy sensor, an image display in operative connection with the image creating system and a user interface in operative connection with the image creating system. The image acquisition system further includes a fluid injector system including at least one source of a first fluid, a pressurizing system in operative connection with the source of the first fluid, and a user interface in operative connection with the pressurizing system. The imaging system and the injector system are operatively integrated in at least two of the following and/or other aspects: physical connection, data input via at least one common user interface, displaying of information via at least one common display, electrical connection to at least one common power conditioning system, receipt of common data from at least one patient physiological sensor, at least one common communication port to at least one information system, and a common control system (including any common portion of a control system).
