Abstract
A method for communication between at least two computing facilities of a medical imaging facility via a single communication line is disclosed. In the method, communication information assigned to different communication types received in each case via a dedicated data input is merged to form data structures of a defined size to be transmitted via the communication line. The data structures are transmitted cyclically via the communication line with an interval of one cycle time and communication information of the different communication types is extracted from data structures received via the communication line and output at data outputs assigned to the respective communication types. The communication types include a first packet-oriented communication type and a second isochronous communication type corresponding to isochronous direct channel communication.
