Abstract: A method of imaging. The method includes determining imaging parameters. Further, the method includes acquiring image data from a patient. Additionally, the method includes storing the imaging parameters with the acquired image data. The method also includes retrieving the stored imaging parameters for use in a subsequent examination. Systems and computer-readable medium that afford functionality of the type defined by this method are also contemplated in conjunction with the present technique.

Abstract: A method for displaying a region of interest graphic on an imaging system includes: (a) establishing a communication connection over a network between the imaging system and a remote facility; (b) displaying an image frame, the image frame having a reference point; (c) displaying a region of interest graphic on the image frame at a depth determined relative to the reference point, the region of interest graphic having a bottom width, a top width, a height, and an angle between a projection of a first edge line and a projection of a second edge line; (d) changing the depth of the region of interest; and (e) changing the top width and the angle of the region of interest graphic as a function of the change in depth, while maintaining the height and the bottom width of the region of interest graphic substantially unchanged. At least one of steps (b) through (e) is done remotely over the communication connection.
