Abstract

In a method for generating a measurement protocol for medical imaging of an object under examination, measurement parameters of the measurement protocol are divided into a protocol structure with a base class and classes supplementing the base class. The base class includes only hardware-independent measurement parameters and the supplementary classes includes only hardware-specific measurement parameters. A method for transferring a measurement protocol, a measurement protocol generation computer, a measurement protocol conversion apparatus, and a medical imaging system make use of such a measurement protocol.
