Accessories as Workflow Priors in Medical Systems
First Claim
1. A method for populating workflow information in medical imaging, the method comprising:
- detecting connection of an accessory with a medical imaging system;
identifying an identity of the accessory in response to the detecting;
generating, by the medical imaging system, a user interface for configuring medical imaging by the medical imaging system; and
configuring the user interface for a protocol corresponding to the identity of the accessory.

Abstract
Workflow information is populated in a user interface of a medical system. One or more accessories are detected. The user interface is updated to assist the user based on the identity of the accessory. One or more lists may be created based on the identity, such as a list of examinations or protocols usable with the accessory. One or more fields for configuring the imaging system for scanning may be pre-filled based on the identity, such as using values used in a previous configuration for scanning with the accessory. The workflow through the user interface may be streamlined or configured to allow for more consistent, rapid, or easier input by the user based on the detection of the accessory.
