Abstract

A technique is provided for limiting the information transmitted between a remote operator workstation and a medical imaging system. In the present technique, one or more interface regions of the displayed user interface are designated with one or more levels of remote access. The designated interface regions of the user interface may then be displayed remotely in a manner corresponding to their designation. For example, interface regions designated at one level may not be legibly displayed remotely but may instead be replaced a solid block on the remote operator workstation. Similarly, interface regions designated at a different level may be displayed remotely with a visual indicator, such as shading, color, tinting, hatching, and so forth, to indicate that the corresponding function is unavailable for remote use. Similarly, the present technique allows inputs from the remote operator workstation to be filtered to remove commands or instructions originating from an interaction with an interface region designated as unavailable for remote use.
