First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for adjusting at least one protocol for medical imaging, the method comprising:
- providing, by a location-determining unit, a physical location of an imaging device, wherein the imaging device is associated with a plurality of location-dependent protocol boundary conditions, each location-dependent protocol boundary condition relating to a particular physical location of the imaging device;
ascertaining at least one location-dependent protocol boundary condition of the plurality of location-dependent boundary conditions from a comparison of the provided physical location of the imaging device with at least one database, wherein the at least one database is (1) stored at least partially locally at the physical location of the imaging device, (2) provided at least partially by remote transmission, or (3) stored at least partially locally at the physical location of the imaging device and provided at least partially by remote transmission; and
creating at least one protocol adjusted to the at least one location-dependent protocol boundary condition,wherein at least one of the providing, the ascertaining, or the creating occurs automatically.
