Abstract

A method is for operating a medical imaging system including at least two executable application programs. An embodiment includes: a) a computing device of the imaging system detecting at least one display device by its properties relevant to visual display; b) the computing device retrieving at least one particular application-specific requirement made of a display device, using the at least two application programs, for visual display of corresponding application program information on a display device; c) comparing the properties detected for each at least one display device and the retrieved requirement; and d) according to a result of the comparison, the computing device either assigning the application programs respectively to the at least one display device or activating an assignment facility for a user, to increase efficiency when operating the medical imaging system having the at least two executable application programs in a manner convenient to a user.
