Patent ID: 8365087

Claim:
A method for implementing a medical examination through a user interface of at least one medical imaging device, comprising the steps of: via a user interface of a processor, manually selecting and entering a number of user-selected measurement parameters for operating the medical imaging device to implement a medical examination, including selecting the number of said measurement parameters; in said medical imaging device, generating spatially resolved image information dependent on said number of measurement parameters, and storing said spatially resolved image information on a storage medium; in a first display stage, accessing said image information from said storage medium and displaying said image information as multiple data symbols, comprising more than three data symbols, that represent but do not reveal said image information, in an initial arrangement on a single screen of said user interface in a display format that is predetermined from said number of measurement parameters, each of said multiple data symbols requiring a user entry via said user interface to reveal said image information; in a second display stage following said first display stage, via said user interface, manually selecting and entering at least three display parameters that define a visual selected arrangement of said multiple data symbols on said single screen, said at least three display parameters including a time parameter; and in said processor, automatically controlling re-arrangement of said data symbols on said single screen depending on said manually selected and entered at least three display parameters to change said initial arrangement to said selected arrangement, including automatically emphasizing data symbols among said multiple data symbols that belong to a most recent year larger and with better resolution than data symbols that do not belong to said most recent year.
