System for remote control of a medical imaging system
First Claim
1. A system for providing remote control and interaction with a medical imaging system, comprising:
- a transmitter for wirelessly transmitting command signals via a first secure communication link to a receiver unit coupled to a medical imaging system comprising at least one of, a magnetic resonance (MR), computer tomography (CT), and X-ray imaging system, said command signals enabling controlling said medical imaging system from a remote location;
at least one computer for receiving video data from a camera independent of said medical imaging system and located near said medical imaging system, said camera monitoring medical images and associated data provided by said medical imaging system and presented on a display of said medical imaging system in response to command signals wirelessly communicated to said receiver unit and controlling said medical imaging system;
a monitor for presenting the received video data to a user; and
a user interface enabling a user to provide commands for controlling said medical imaging system via said command signals from said remote location.

Abstract
A system enables secure, safe remote access and control of stand-alone medical imaging systems whilst maintaining physical separation and independence from the medical imaging systems, to prevent medical system infection by a software virus and data corruption. A system provides remote control and interaction with a medical imaging system and includes a transmitter. The transmitter wirelessly transmits command signals via a first secure communication link to a receiver unit coupled to a medical imaging system. The command signals enable control of the medical imaging system from a remote location. At least one computer receives video data from a camera located near the medical imaging system and monitors medical images and associated data presented on a display of the medical imaging system in response to command signals wirelessly communicated to the receiver unit. A monitor presents the received video data to a user. Also a user interface enables a user to provide commands for controlling the medical imaging system via the command signals from the remote location.
