Abstract

Disclosed herein is a medical imaging apparatus and a control method for the same, particularly a technology configured to correct and convert medical image data. Therefore, based on medical image data acquired by a medical imaging apparatus performing medical imaging diagnosis, an image having the same quality as an image outputted on a display unit of the medical imaging may be outputted on other display device.
The medical imaging apparatus includes a medical image acquisition unit acquiring medical image data of an object and a memory unit storing output image information of display device and display device information including the type of display device outputting a medical image of the object.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A medical imaging apparatus comprising:
a medical image scanner acquiring medical image data of an object;
an input unit receiving an input of display device information including a type of a display device, and output image information of the display device;
a memory storing the output image information of the display device and the display device information including the type of the display device outputting a medical image based on the medical image data; and
a processor determining the type of the display device outputting the medical image of the object based on the display device information and the output image information of the display device, and correcting the medical image outputted on the display device by using output image information, which corresponds to the type of the display device that outputs the medical image of the object, among the stored output image information of the display device.

2. The medical imaging apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
the memory stores the output image information including luminance, color temperature, gamma, illuminance, brightness, and contrast value of the medical image outputted on the display device.

3. The medical imaging apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
the processor automatically converts an image so that medical image data, which is corrected by using the output image information corresponding to the type of the display device, is outputted on the display device.

4. The medical imaging apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
the input unit receives an input to update the display device information and the output image information of the display device.

5. The medical imaging apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:
a transceiver transmitting the corrected medical image data to the display device.

6. The medical imaging apparatus of claim 5 , wherein
the transceiver receives the display device information and the output image information of the display device, and receives the updated display device information and the updated output image information of the display device.

7. A control method of a medical imaging apparatus performing medical imaging diagnosis by acquiring medical image data of an object, the method comprising:
receiving an input of display device information including a type of the display device, and output image information of the display device;
determining the type of the display device outputting a medical image based on the received display device information and the output image information of the display device;
correcting medical image outputted on the display device by using the output image information corresponding to the type of the determined display device among pre-stored output image information of the display device; and
automatically converting an image so that the medical image, which is corrected by using the output image information corresponding to the type of the display device, is outputted on the display device.

8. The control method of claim 7 , wherein
the receiving of the input of the output image information of the display device comprises receiving an input of the output image information including luminance, color temperature, gamma, illuminance, brightness, and contrast value of the medical image outputted on the display device.

9. The control method of claim 7 , wherein
the receiving of the input of the display device information and the output image information of display device further comprises receiving an input to update the display device information and the output image information of the display device.
