Patent ID: 7239928

Claim:
A method for producing an item list of components for assembling a radiation detector for a computed tomography apparatus, comprising the steps of: at a first location, providing an inventory of detector modules that are accessible at said first location for assembly at said first location to form a radiation detector for a computed tomography apparatus, and electronically assigning a reference number to each of said detector modules, said detector modules being accessible from said first location; electronically storing the respective reference numbers of said detector modules together with at least one individual image-relevant property of each of said detector modules in an electronic databank disposed at a second location which is different from said first location; electronically generating an inquiry at said first location for an item list comprising detector modules from among said detector modules at said first location; electronically communicating said inquiry from said first location to said second location via an information transmission network; dependent on said inquiry and dependent on the respective individual image-relevant properties and reference numbers of the detector modules stored in said databank, electronically compiling an electronically represented compiled item list at said second location, said compiled item list including designation of each detector module in the compiled item list by the respective reference numbers thereof, together with a designation of the image-relevant property of each detector module in said compiled item list and a designation for each detector module in said compiled item list of a position at which each detector module in said compiled item list should be installed in said radiation detector that is to be assembled; and electronically communicating said electronically represented compiled item list from said second location to said first location via said network.
