Abstract: The invention relates to the automatic printing of medical digital images. Medical imaging systems especially comprise a medical imaging device 1, a signal processing and image display station 2, a data entry device 4 allowing the selection of the print support format, and a printer 3 allowing the images to be printed. According to the invention, an analyzer of the images to be printed 8 allows the automatic ordering of the print support format selected by the printer 3. Application to the automatic selection of print support formats in medical digital imaging.

Abstract: The invention concerns a digital data communication system.

Abstract: The method comprises the steps of sorting the images according to a principal criterion (width or height) and a secondary criterion (height or width) and after having indexed these images, automatically associating the image p−j and the image p+1+j with the same editing row so as to minimize the total useful width of the aggregation of the images, and calculates the maximum enlargement ratio for editing the aggregation of the images on a medium arranged in portrait or landscape mode.

Abstract: A digital medical imaging unit normally comprises: a station 10 for capturing information relating to a patient ID, a scanner 20 associated with a device 16, 18, 19 for capturing information relating to the medical examination to be processed for scanning first medical image media, an editing station 30 designed to send the digital images to be edited to a printer 50. The unit comprises an editing controller 40 which receives, before the processing of a first medical image medium, information relating to the editing and records an item of chronological information on the capture of the data so as to order chronologically the images delivered by the scanner in order to associate with each other the images of a series to be edited on one and the same page of the editing medium.

Abstract: The invention relates to the editing of digital medical images.A digital medical imaging unit normally comprises: a station 10 for entering information relating to a patient Id, a scanner 20 for scanning first medical image media and associated with a means 16, 18, 19 of entering information relating to the medical examination to be processed, an editing station 30 designed to send the digital images to be edited to a printer 50. The only known automatic editing system consists of editing each digital image as soon as they are delivered by the scanner 20 on individual pages of an editing medium. The unit according to the invention comprises on the one hand an editing controller 40 which receives, before the processing of a first medical image medium, information relating to the editing, and on the other hand a counter of medical images processed by the scanner.Application to the automatic editing of several digital medical images on one and the same page of an editing medium.
