Abstract
The present invention provides an interactive integrated medical radiographic system comprising in combination a radiation source, an electronic detector including an analog to digital converter, a central control device including a CPU and a user interface a memory and a display device. The radiation source emits on command a radiation beam that is directed to pass through a target and impinge on the electronic radiation detector. The central control device communicates with both the memory, the radiation source, and the electronic detector, and is programmed to interact with an operator through the user interface and in response to input by the operator, and data stored in the memory, to initialize the detector, to set the radiation source for a desired exam, to retrieve from memory a sequence of steps representing actions by the operator required to perform said desired exam, and to sequentially guide the operator through said sequence of actions.
