A medical imaging system is operated corresponding to a measurement
sequence to acquire data of an examination subject. A control device
associates a reference to the measurement sequence with the acquired data
and stores the acquired data including the associated reference. The
control device determines an image of the examination subject using the
acquired data and outputs the determined image to an operator of the
medical imaging system via a viewing device. When a corresponding
activation command is provided to it by the operator, the control device
automatically determines the corresponding measurement sequence using the
reference associated with the displayed image, and automatically
associates a reference to at least one image corresponding with the
displayed image with the measurement sequence. The control device
provides the measurement sequence (S) for search purposes upon retrieval
of the measurement sequence, the control device also automatically
retrieves the images associated with the retrieved measurement sequence
as well.
