Abstract
A system that provides an improved way of scheduling a plurality of imaging tasks in a medical imaging system is disclosed. The system enables a user (i.e. a technician or medical expert) to group different imaging tasks and executes them simultaneously to significantly reduce scan time. These imaging tasks are of different types or are related to different imaging techniques. If different imaging tasks need to be performed substantially at the same location and have substantially same scan time then they can be scheduled simultaneously so that overall scan time can be reduced.
