METHOD FOR REMOTE MONITORING OF THE IMAGE DATA QUALITY IN ACQUISITIONS WITH AT LEAST ONE MEDICAL IMAGE ACQUISITION DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method for remotely monitoring a quality of image data acquired using at least one medical image acquisition device, comprising the steps of:
- acquiring medical image data from a first patient using a medical image acquisition device comprising a processor connectable to a data transmission network;
at a display of a workstation computer, also connectable to said data transmission network, assessing, at said display, medical images of a second patient;
immediately after acquisition of said medical image data with said medical acquisition device, establishing data transmitting communication between said processor and said workstation via said network and transmitting said medical image data from said processor to said workstation; and
simultaneously displaying said medical image data of said first patient at said display of said workstation with said medical image data of said second patient respectively in separately observation regions of said display, with an optical demarcation between said separate observation regions.

Abstract
In a method for remote monitoring of the image data quality in acquisitions with at least one medical image acquisition device that has a control and evaluation unit connected to a network, and workstation computers, connected to the network, with a display device (in particular at least one monitor), image data of a current patient associated with the image acquisition device for acquisition are transmitted over the network to the workstation computer immediately after the acquisition and possible post-processing. The image data are presented at the display device in parallel with data of an additional patient presently being assessed, with optical demarcation in a separate observation region.
