The start, preparation and validation of the data acquisition will be commanded by the HMI, the Hospital Operator Interface. This interface is crucial as it serves as the primary point of control and interaction for medical professionals during the scanning process.
The interface is designed to be user-friendly and intuitive, allowing for seamless operation and control of the scanner. It includes features that enable hospital operators to start, prepare, and validate the data acquisition process. The design of this interface takes into consideration the need for ease of use, ensuring that operators can efficiently manage the scanning process without requiring extensive technical knowledge.
The functionality of the Hospital Operator Interface is tailored to the requirements of a clinical setting, providing essential controls and feedback mechanisms. This includes real-time monitoring of the scanning process, alerts for any issues or errors, and a straightforward method for initiating and stopping scans. The interface also integrates effectively with the scanner’s software, ensuring that data acquisition and processing are synchronized and efficient.
Moreover, the interface is equipped with safety features, ensuring that operators can quickly respond to any patient safety concerns during the scanning procedure. This includes emergency stop functions and alerts for any potential safety risks.
