Abstract: A computer-tomography (CT) imaging system, comprising an imaging data acquisition system. The imaging data acquisition system includes a plurality of sets of a detector section, a storage section, and an aggregation section. The detector section includes a plurality of detector elements each being configured to convert radiation into electric signals. The aggregation section is configured to aggregate imaging data carried by the electronic signals from the detector section. The storage section is connected with an output of the detector section and an input of the aggregation section. The storage section comprises a predetermined number of non-volatile memories to store the imaging data from the corresponding detector elements.

The imaging data acquisition system includes a detector section, an aggregation section, and a storage section. The detection section includes a plurality of detector elements configured to convert radiation into electric signals. The aggregation section aggregates imaging data carried by the electric signals from the detector section. The storage section is arranged in a manner corresponding to the detector elements regarding an output from the detector section and an input to the aggregation section. The storage section includes a predetermined number of non-volatile memories configured to store the imaging data from the corresponding detector elements.

Abstract: A control method for controlling data processing acquired from medical imaging modalities by using multiple data processors connected to multiple medical imaging modalities via a network. The method includes obtaining image information for imaging to be performed with an imaging modality from the multiple imaging modalities. The method also includes obtaining load information of the multiple data processors before the imaging is completed. Allocating, based on graph information generated based on the obtained load information, at least a part of the multiple data processors to processing of data acquired in imaging based on the imaging information. The control method may conclude by performing processing of the acquired data with the allocated data processing resource.
