ABSTRACT:
The preferred embodiments described herein provide a method and system for handling complex inter-dependencies between imaging mode parameters in a medical imaging system. In one preferred embodiment, a behavior engine comprises a plurality of behavior objects interconnected by parameters with at least one of the parameters being circularly dependent. A static list of the behavior objects and the dependent parameters is generated. After an input to the medical imaging system causes one parameter to change values, a dynamic list of behavior objects dependent on the changed parameter is generated. Further, an iterative process of processing the behavior objects in the dynamic list, determining whether any output parameters from the processed behavior objects have changed, adding behavior objects to the dynamic list which are dependent on the changed parameter outputs, and removing the processed behavior objects from the dynamic list is performed. The iterative process may be performed until the dynamic list does not contain any behavior objects.
