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 der WWW-Browser-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 the WWW browser technology for navigation is implemented.

Einerseits erhält man durch das DICOM-Object-Model selbsttra­ gende Komponenten und andererseits hilft die WWW-Browser-Tech­ nologie bei der Navigation durch diese Komponenten.On the one hand, the DICOM Object Model gives you self-traces components and on the other hand, the WWW browser tech helps technology 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 Komponenten-Navigation mittels WWW-Browser durch Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) oder mittels WWW-Browser durch JAVA-Tags zur Navigation kombiniert werden. Dabei kann erfindungsgemäß ein Netscape-Browser, ein Mosaic- Browser oder ein Hotjava-Browser als WWW-Browser eingesetzt werden.According to the medical image standard DICOM object model with component navigation using WWW browser using Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) or using WWW browsers can be combined with JAVA tags for navigation.

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. For example, the images generated in modalities 1 to 4 can be stored in a central image memory 10 or forwarded to other workstations 5 to 8 .

An dem Bildkommunikationsnetz 9 können weitere Workstations als Befundungskonsolen 11 und 12 angeschlossen sein, die mit einem lokalen Bildspeicher 13 und 14, beispielsweise einer Jukebox, verbunden sein können. In den Befundungskonsolen 11 und 12 können die erfaßten und im Bildspeicher 10 abgelegten Bilder nachträglich zur Befundung abgerufen und in dem loka­ len Bildspeicher 13 und 14 abgelegt werden, von dem sie unmittelbar der an der Befundungskonsole 11 oder 12 arbei­ tenden Befundungsperson zur Verfügung stehen können.Further workstations can be connected to the image communication network 9 as diagnosis consoles 11 and 12 , which can be connected to a local image memory 13 and 14 , for example a jukebox. In the diagnosis consoles 11 and 12 , the captured and stored in the image memory 10 images can be called up later for diagnosis and stored in the local image memory 13 and 14 , from which they can be available to the diagnosis console 11 or 12 working person.

An dem Bildkommunikationsnetz 9 kann ein Netzwerk-Interface 15 angeschlossen sein, über das das interne Bildkommunika­ tionsnetz 9 mit einem globalen Datennetz verbunden ist, so daß die standardisierten Daten mit unterschiedlichen Netzwer­ ken weltweit ausgetauscht werden können.A network interface 15 can be connected to the video communications network 9 by the network tion the internal Bildkommunika 9 is connected to a global data network, can be exchanged so that the worldwide standardized data with different Netzwer ken.
