Abstract: A medical imaging system for communicating image information between a plurality of different medical imaging modalities (12) having different input protocols and a plurality of different laser imagers (18) having different output protocols takes advantage of a reusable, object-oriented software architecture having a plurality of functionally independent components. The individual components can be configured in a communication pipeline (26) to communicate image information between a medical imaging modality (12) and a laser imager (18) according to desired protocols in a networked manner. Each component can be interchanged with a differently configured component to facilitate communication of image information according to a different protocol, thereby reconfiguring the pipeline (26) to achieve significant flexibility. The software architecture is scalable to produce a plurality of communication pipelines (26), each of which can be configured according to desired protocols. Thus, the system can support a different protocol by either swapping components to reconfigure a single communication pipeline (26), or by simply selecting an alternative among a plurality of differently configured communication pipelines (26) in the scalable architecture. The software architecture is equipped with a network executive component (14) designed to configure one or more communication pipelines (26) for network communication.

Abstract translation: 用于在具有不同输入协议的多个不同医学成像模式（12）和具有不同输出协议的多个不同激光成像器（18）之间传送图像信息的医学成像系统利用可重用的面向对象的软件架构，其具有 多个功能独立的组件。 各个组件可以配置在通信管线（26）中，以根据期望的协议以联网的方式在医学成像模式（12）和激光成像器（18）之间传送图像信息。 每个组件可以与不同配置的组件互换，以促进根据不同协议的图像信息的通信，从而重新配置管道（26）以实现显着的灵活性。 软件架构是可扩展的以产生多个通信管线（26），每个通信管线可以根据期望的协议进行配置。 因此，系统可以通过交换组件来重新配置单个通信流水线（26）来支持不同的协议，或者通过简单地选择可扩展架构中的多个不同配置的通信流水线（26）中的替代方案。 软件架构配备有网络执行组件（14），其被设计为配置用于网络通信的一个或多个通信管线（26）。
