SYSTEM AND METHOD INCLUDING A PORTABLE USER PROFILE FOR MEDICAL IMAGING SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A medical imaging system comprising:
- a user interface configured to receive user inputs from an operator, the user inputs comprising identification data that identifies the operator, the user interface including an operator display configured to display information to the operator during an imaging session; and
a system controller configured to control operation of the medical imaging system, the system controller configured to receive a user profile from a profile-storage system that is at a distinct location with respect to the medical imaging system, the user profile including predetermined operational settings that are associated with the operator, wherein each of the predetermined operational settings is selected from a plurality of potential operational settings that control operation of the medical imaging system, the system controller configured to load the predetermined operational settings of the user profile, wherein the predetermined operational settings affect at least one of acquisition of a medical image during the imaging session or how the information is displayed to the operator at the operator display during the imaging session.

Abstract
A medical imaging system is provided that includes a system controller that is configured to control operation of a medical imaging system. The system controller is configured to receive a user profile from a profile-storage system that is at a distinct location with respect to the medical imaging system. The user profile includes predetermined operational settings that are associated with the operator. Each of the predetermined operational settings is selected from a plurality of potential operational settings that control operation of the medical imaging system. The system controller is configured to load the predetermined operational settings of the user profile, wherein the predetermined operational settings affect at least one of acquisition of a medical image during the imaging session or how the information is displayed to the operator during the imaging session.
