A method of acquiring a graphic prescription from an operator of an imaging device comprises displaying a first two-dimensional view of a first localizer image and a second two-dimensional view of a second localizer image, and displaying a three-dimensional view of the first and second localizer images. The first and second two-dimensional views of the first and second localizer images are displayed in first and second viewing regions of a graphic prescription interface. The three-dimensional view shows the first and second localizer images relative to each other in overlapping fashion in a common viewing region of the graphic prescription interface. The method also allows a previous prescription to be displayed as a cross reference, and allows a prescription to fallback to any localizer image in a sequence of localizer images.

Multi-plane graphic prescription interface and method

A method and apparatus for providing a &ldquo;just-in-time&rdquo; localizer image of an object of interest from which a high resolution image can be based is disclosed herein. The &ldquo;just-in-time&rdquo; localizer image is acquired based on at least one of a default localizer image of the object of interest, a precursor image of the object of interest, and a representation of a three-dimensional volume data set associated with the object of interest. The &ldquo;just-in-time&rdquo; localizer image and the high resolution image are prescribed, acquired, and displayed within a single graphical prescription environment.
