1. A method for diagnostic imaging implementing an imaging system that includes a user interface, the method comprising:

  • accessing a radiological information system (RIS) from the user interface of the imaging system, the RIS having stored thereon subject data on a plurality of subjects;

    selecting from the user interface a subject to be imaged from the plurality of subjects in the RIS;

    selecting from the user interface an organ-based protocol for a diagnostic imaging scan to be performed on the selected subject;

    displaying on the user interface a plurality of diagnostic imaging specific elements for the selected organ-based protocol;

    providing for user editing of the plurality of diagnostic imaging specific elements on the user interface;

    performing a diagnostic imaging scan on the selected subject based on the selected organ-based protocol and any user edits of the plurality of diagnostic imaging specific elements;

    displaying on the user interface an image reconstructed from image data acquired from the diagnostic imaging scan; and

    communicating completion of the scan to the RIS.
