Abstract

A medical imaging system including one or more medical devices (106), operational electronics associated at least one medical device, embedded software associated with operational electronics, and an alteration mechanism (112, 114, 116) providing alteration of at least one of operational electronics (302) and embedded software (306). In one aspect, a medical device has a configurable component (302) and/or configuring software (306) and has an alteration mechanism (112) that provides alteration of the configurable component (302) and/or the configuring software (306). In another aspect, a medical device has a programmable component (302) and/or programming software (306), and has an alteration mechanism (112) that provides alteration of the programmable component (302) and/or the programming software (306).
