Abstract
Abstract A medical diagnostics installation, such as an x-ray angiography installation, has a number of separate treatment and data-acquisition components, all of which are connected to a central work station having an operating area accessible by a single user for central operation and monitoring of all components. Data acquisition, storage and distribution of the patient data take place at the work station using monitors. Data flow, for example parameters for obtaining an optimum image quality, can thereby be coordinated at one location.
