Die Erfindung geht von der Aufgabe aus, Software-Bausteine (Objekte) zu konstruieren, die ein Verhalten aufweisen, das sich möglichst selbst trägt. Weiterhin sollten die Verbin­ dungen zwischen den Bausteinen im Verhältnis zum Ort dieser Bausteine (Objekte) unsichtbar sein, so daß sie entweder alle in einem Prozeß vereinigt oder über ein Netzwerk verteilt sein können.The invention is based on the task of software modules To construct (objects) that exhibit behavior that carries itself if possible. Furthermore, the verbin between the building blocks in relation to their location Blocks (objects) must be invisible, so that they are all combined in one process or distributed over a network could be.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Rechner nach einem Verfahren arbeitet, bei dem ein Industrie­ standard zur Übertragung von Bildern und weiteren medizini­ schen Informationen zwischen Computern zur Ermöglichung der digitalen Kommunikation zwischen den Modalitäten unterschied­ licher Hersteller als Software-Komponente in Kombination mit einer Scripting-Language-Technologie zur Navigation implementiert ist.The object is achieved in that the Computer works according to a process in which an industry standard for the transmission of images and other medical devices information between computers to enable the digital communication between the modalities manufacturer as a software component in combination with  a scripting language technology for navigation is implemented.

Einerseits erhält man durch das DICOM-Object-Model selbsttra­ gende Komponenten und andererseits hilft die Scripting-Technologie bei der Navigation durch diese Komponenten.On the one hand, the DICOM Object Model gives you self-traces components and on the other hand scripting technology helps when navigating through these components.

Es hat sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn der medizinische Industriestandard der DICOM-Standard ist.It has proven beneficial if the medical Industry standard is the DICOM standard.

Erfindungsgemäß kann der medizinische Bild-Standard DICOM-Object-Model mit der Navigation mittels Visual Basic, Active X, Opendoc Script, JAVA, JAVA-Script, CORBA, CORBA-DII oder einer anderen Scripting-Sprache zur Navigation kombiniert werden.According to the medical image standard DICOM object model with navigation using Visual Basic, Active X, Opendoc Script, JAVA, JAVA-Script, CORBA, CORBA-DII or another scripting language combined for navigation will.

Die Erfindung ist nachfolgend anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert.The invention is based on one in the drawing illustrated embodiment explained in more detail.

In der Figur ist die Systemarchitektur eines medizinischen Computernetzwerkes dargestellt. Zur Erfassung medizinischer Bilder dienen die Modalitäten 1 bis 4, die als bilderzeugende Systeme beispielsweise eine CT-Einheit 1 für Computertomo­ graphie, eine MR-Einheit 2 für Magnetische Resonanz, eine DSA-Einheit 3 für digitale Subtraktionsangiographie und eine Röntgeneinheit 4 für die digitale Radiographie 4 aufweisen kann. An diese Modalitäten 1 bis 4 können Workstations 5 bis 8 angeschlossen sein, mit denen die Modalitäten 1 bis 4 gesteuert und die erfaßten medizinischen Bilder verarbeitet und abgespeichert werden können. Eine derartige Workstation ist beispielsweise ein sehr schneller Kleincomputer auf der Basis eines oder mehrerer schneller Prozessoren.The figure shows the system architecture of a medical computer network. For the acquisition of medical images, the modalities 1 to 4 serve as image-generating systems, for example a CT unit 1 for computer tomography, an MR unit 2 for magnetic resonance, a DSA unit 3 for digital subtraction angiography and an X-ray unit 4 for digital radiography 4 can have. Workstations 5 to 8 can be connected to these modalities 1 to 4 , with which the modalities 1 to 4 can be controlled and the acquired medical images can be processed and stored. Such a workstation is, for example, a very fast small computer based on one or more fast processors.

Die Workstations 5 bis 8 sind mit einem Bildkommunikations­ netz 9 zur Verteilung der erzeugten Bilder und Kommunikation verbunden. So können beispielsweise die in den Modalitäten 1 bis 4 erzeugten Bilder in einem zentralen Bildspeicher 10 abgespeichert oder an andere Workstations 5 bis 8 weiter­ geleitet werden.The workstations 5 to 8 are connected to an image communication network 9 for distributing the generated images and communication.
