1. A method for processing medically relevant information for examining a patient, comprising the steps of:
- (a) storing a program, including a data bank containing stored data selected from the group consisting of symptom-based data and diagnosis-based data, in a data processor;
(b) entering patient-specific information, selected from the group consisting of symptom-specific information and diagnosis-specific information, into said data processor;
(c) executing said program in said data processor to select at least one examination modality for an examination of said patient dependent on said stored data and said patient-specific information and generating a protocol to operate said at least one examination modality, selected from the group consisting of examination protocols and measurement protocols, for conducting said examination; and
(d) making output information relating to the selected modality available from said data processor and including said protocol in said output information.
