A medical system architecture with a modality ( 1 through 4 ) for the acquisition of images, a means ( 5 through 8, 11, 12 ) for processing the images and a means ( 9 ) for the transmission of the images. The means ( 5 through 8, 11, 12 ) for processing comprises a digital image system with a computer that works according to a method for data exchange between various application programs (OLE) with graphic control elements and a standard for OLE Custom Controls (OCX), whereby an OCX software component ( 18 ) is allocated to every individual process limited by boundaries, these OCX software components being expanded with an OLE Automation or ATOMIC remote control component ( 19, 22, 27 through 31, 35 through 41 ) so that the devices and processes can be remote controlled without any limitations caused by address space or computer boundaries. |
