Disclosed is an image acquisition workstation including a multiple examination mode. In the multiple examination mode, a user selects an anatomical view or procedure prior to acquiring data. When the image data is acquired, the acquired data is stored in a data structure related to the selected procedure or anatomical view. As the user selects a procedure or anatomical view prior to each data acquisition, the image acquisitions can be acquired in any order.

Method and apparatus for simultaneous acquisition of multiple examination data

In an X-ray imaging system comprising an X-ray source, a digital X-ray detector and a display device, an arrangement is provided for setting or establishing the dynamic range of the image at the display device. The detector is operated to provide a set of count values representing X-ray image data acquired by the detector from an object of imaging, and a set of standardized values, such as optical density values, is derived from the count values. The optical density values collectively define a range of optical density values, and the dynamic range of the display device is mapped thereto. The display device is enabled to present an image of the object which appears similar to or substantially the same as an image of the object presented by, for example, a specified analog X-ray film.
