Abstract:
1. A method for implementing a medical examination via a user interface of a medical imaging device, comprising the steps of: determining parameter values for a group of measurement parameters and entering said parameter values of said group of measurement parameters into a medical imaging device via an input device of a user interface of the medical imaging device; in said medical imaging device, generating spatially resolved image information dependent on said group of measurement parameters, and storing said spatially resolved image information on a storage medium; accessing said spatially resolved image information from said storage medium and presenting said spatially resolved image information as respective data symbols on a screen of the user interface, each of said data symbols representing one measurement parameter in said group of measurement parameters, but not being said parameter values, with each measurement parameter of the group of measurement parameters being individually represented on the screen by a respective data symbol located by itself in a measurement parameter cell of a matrix with multiple rows and multiple columns, with at least some of said measurement parameters being contained in multiple measurement parameter cells; altering a position of a pointer symbol on said matrix on the screen to select one of said multiple measurement parameter cells, as a selected cell, and in said selected cell, then presenting both the data symbol and the value of the measurement parameter represented by that data symbol, and enlarging a presentation size of the selected cell and the presentation size of at least one column among said multiple columns, and the presentation size of at least one of said multiple rows of the matrix on said screen that contains the selected cell, by an enlargement factor that is dependent on the distance of said at least one of said multiple columns from said pointer symbol on said screen; also enlarging multiple other measurement cells that contain the same data symbol as said selected cell, in respective columns of said matrix by said enlargement factor that is dependent on a distance of said multiple other measurement cells from the pointer symbol on the screen and also presenting, in said other measurement cells, said data symbol and the volume of the measurement parameter represented by said data symbol; and allowing user interaction with said user interface to change the parameter value of the measurement parameter represented by the data symbol in the selected cell and, upon changing said measurement parameter, automatically showing all measurement parameter cells in which the changed measurement is adjustable in a larger presentation size on said screen.
