System and method for establishing zoom settings for display of an anatomical image
First Claim
1. A system employing at least one processing device in selecting a zoom size of an anatomical image for display, the system comprising:
- a collimated X-ray radiation beam image detector device having a pre-defined field of view, the pre-defined field of view defining fixed zoom settings including, a maximum analog zoom field of view corresponding to a maximum analog zoom setting and a minimum analog zoom field of view corresponding to a minimum analog zoom setting for at least one anatomical image acquired using the image detector device and at least one of said zoom settings is set in response to radiation beam collimation control;
an image display displaying the at least one anatomical image within the pre-defined field of view;
a processing unit providing a selection of at least one anatomical image; and
a network configured to interface the detector with the processing unit and the image display with the processing unit,wherein the system is configured to enable establishment in a user specific profile of at least one predetermined fixed intervening user selectable zoom setting independent of X-ray collimation setting, said selectable zoom setting corresponding to an intervening selectable zoom field of view between the maximum analog zoom field of view and the minimum analog zoom field of view.

Abstract
A system for selecting a zoom size of an anatomical image for display includes an image detector having a pre-defined field of view defining a maximum and minimum analog zoom fields of view corresponding to maximum and minimum analog zoom settings for at least one anatomical image; an image display displaying the anatomical image within the pre-defined field of view; a processing unit providing a selection of at least one anatomical image; and a network configured to interface the detector with the processing unit and the image display with the processing unit. The system enables establishment of at least one intervening selectable zoom setting corresponding to an intervening selectable zoom field of view between the maximum and minimum analog zoom fields of view, thereby establishing a first user profile. A second user profile overriding the first user profile can be established. A corresponding method is also disclosed.

12. A method implemented using at least one processing device for selecting a zoom size of an anatomical image for display, the method comprising the steps of:
-
using a collimated X-ray radiation beam image detector device having a pre-defined field of view, the pre-defined field of view defining fixed zoom settings including, a maximum analog zoom field of view corresponding to a maximum analog zoom setting and a minimum analog zoom field of view corresponding to a minimum analog zoom setting for at least one anatomical image acquired using the image detector device and at least one of said zoom settings is set in response to radiation beam collimation control; and displaying the at least one anatomical image within the pre-defined field of view; and enabling a user to configure in a user specific profile at least one predetermined fixed intervening user selectable zoom setting independent of X-ray collimation setting, said selectable zoom setting corresponding to an intervening selectable field of view between the maximum analog zoom and the minimum analog zoom. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
