is further configured to store the imaging preferences of the user. The information
stored in the database is processed relative to a set of business rules to select
imaging upgrades configured to improve the operational performance of the medical
imager. The imaging upgrades are transmitted to reconfigure the imager and/or associated
equipment so that the individualized imaging needs of each user are achieved based
on the imaging upgrades.
