Operating method for a computer to determine optimized control sequences for an imaging medical system

摘要

A computer is supplied with information about a measurement sequence to be implemented by a medical imaging system, and determines at least one group of preliminary control sequences for power supply devices of the medical imaging system so that the power control devices are caused to control image-influencing emission devices of the imaging medical system corresponding to the control sequences. Using a model of the image-influencing emission devices and their respective power control devices, and their respective initial load state, the computer determines whether a load state curve for those devices is below a load limit, and emits a final control sequence for those devices that are determined to be below the limit.

1. An operating method for a computer that operates a medical imaging system, comprising the steps of:
importing information into said computer describing a measurement sequence to be implemented by said medical imaging system, said medical system comprising a plurality of power control devices that respectively control a plurality of image-influencing emission devices; prior to implementing said measurement sequence by said medical imaging system, automatically determining, in said computer, at least one group of preliminary control sequences, wherein each preliminary control sequences in said group is a control sequence for one of said power control devices, each preliminary control sequence being designed to cause the power control device for which that preliminary control sequence is determined, when said measurement sequence is implemented, to control the image-influencing emission device controlled by that power control device in accordance with the preliminary control sequence; in said computer, for each group of preliminary control sequences, automatically determining a load state curve that is applicable to the respective group, using a model that models the image-influencing emission devices and that models the power control devices, and using an initial load state and the respective preliminary control sequences; in said computer, automatically checking, for each group of preliminary control sequences, whether the load state curve determined therefor remains below a load limit that is applicable to the respective group; in said computer, determining the preliminary control sequences of one of said groups which has a load state curve below said load limit as final control sequences; and after determining said first control sequences, employing said computer as a control device for said medical imaging system, and from said computer, operating as said control device, controlling operation of said medical imaging system to execute said measurement sequence, including emitting said final control sequences as an output from said computer and controlling the respective power control devices according to said final control sequences.
