Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for image acquisition is disclosed. In an embodiment, the method includes acquiring, by a first imaging method, first image data of an object to be examined; acquiring, by a second imaging method, second image data of the object to be examined; generating an image file, the file format of which allows different logical layers of image data to be stored, in such a manner that the image file generated contains the acquired first image data in a first logical layer in the intended layer format and the acquired second image data in a second logical layer.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for image acquisition, comprising: acquiring, by a first imaging method, first image data of an object to be examined; acquiring, by a second imaging method, second image data of the object to be examined; and generating an image file, a file format of the image file allowing at least a first and a second different logical layer of image data to be stored such that the image file generated contains the acquired first image data in a first logica…
