Medical imaging control apparatus, medical imaging system and method of operating a medical imaging system

Abstract

A medical imaging control apparatus comprising a data input interface which is configured to receive electronic image data representing an original image of an object, a processor which is configured to process electronic image data received at the data input interface such that when the electronic image data is used to generate an image the image generated is the original image rotated through an angle of rotation, a plurality of data output interfaces via which processed electronic image data from the processor can be provided to a display so that the processed electronic image data can be used to generate an image, a user interface configured with a plurality of user-selectable element which are configured to be operable by a user to select one of the data output interfaces and to assign to the user-selected data output interface the user-selected angle of rotation; and a controller configured to control the transmission of electronic image data via the user-selected data output interface, wherein the electronic image data transmitted via the user-selected data output interface has been processed by the processor such that when the electronic image data is used to generate an electronic image the image generated is the original image rotated through the user-selected angle of rotation assigned to that user-selected data output interface.
