Abstract
A computer-implemented method for managing imaging protocols among a plurality of image scanners includes creating parent node data records, each respective parent node data record corresponding to a distinct type of image scanner. Imaging protocols are stored, each imaging protocol associated with a distinct parent node data record included in the parent node data records. Next, a child node creation process is performed for each respective image scanner. The child node creation process may include, for example: determining a respective image scanner type associated with a respective image scanner; identifying a respective parent node data record corresponding to the respective image scanner type; creating a child node data record associated with the respective parent node data record; identifying a respective imaging protocol associated with the respective parent node; and storing a copy of the respective imaging protocol at the respective scanner.
