Computer system analyzing apparatus and computer system analyzing method

A medical image display apparatushaving a display component, an image data storage part, an information storage component, an operation component, and a control part. The display componentdisplays a medical image display screen P on which image display regions Pto Pare defined. The image data storage partstores image data of medical images. The information storage componentstores process associating informationfor associating combinations of the image display regions Pto Pwith the processing content of image data of medical images. The control part, when two medical images displayed on different image display regions of the image display regions Pto Phave each been designated using the operation component, instructs to execute, for at least one image data of said two medical images, the process indicated in the processing content associated with the combination of the image display regions in which these two medical images are displayed by the process associating information

Medical image display apparatus in which specification of a medical image enables execution of image processing

A medical image storage unit stores medical image. A medical image observation terminal adds interpretation information for medical image and the creator name for interpretation information to the supplementary information of medical image. A reference terminal obtains medical image from the medical image storage unit in order to display medical image. An evaluation management unit instructs the reference terminal to display an evaluation input screen for medical image to allow an evaluation to be entered if the interpretation information has been added to the supplementary information of medical image obtained in the reference terminal, and it then adds evaluation to the supplementary information of medical image stored in the medical image storage unit after receiving an input from the reference terminal and transmits evaluation to the destination for the evaluation that corresponds to the creator name added to the supplementary information of medical image.

Interpretation support system

There is disclosed an image diagnosis support system which acquires a medical image from a medical image imaging unit, generates object information on the medical image, stores the medical image and the object information in a data storage unit and a database, stores case information for each patient based on the object information in correspondence with a case name and information of the medical image in an information table, collects the case information for each patient read from the information table in correspondence with the case name in accordance with a conference instruction and the medical image read from the data storage unit and the database in accordance with the information of the medical image, respectively, as conference information by a conference information display&#x2022;feedback section to display the same, and feeds back a conference result based on display contents to the information table.

Image diagnosis support system and image diagnosis support method

A storage unit stores data of a plurality of previous images of a plurality of regions generated during a previous catheter procedure. A route map generating unit arranges a plurality of first catheter images or blood vessel images included in the plurality of previous images according to the positional relationship between the plurality of regions to generate a route map indicating the distribution of the plurality of first catheter images or blood vessel images. A specifying unit specifies a specific portion of a second catheter image included in a current image generated during a current catheter procedure. A calculating unit calculates the position of the specified specific portion on the route map on the basis of the positional relationship between the current image and the previous image. A display unit displays a specific previous image corresponding to the calculated position.

Image display apparatus and image display system

An image display device connected to an image archive device that stores multiple image data, the image display device comprising: a memory that stores address information of said multiple image data; a display part that is capable of scroll-displaying said image data in a predefined order; a manipulation part for inputting an instruction regarding the scroll display of the image data displayed on said display part; and an image display controller that determines image data to be read from said image archive device depending on the image data and scrolling speed of a display object designated with an instruction that has been input by said manipulation part, reads the image data from said image archive device based on said address information, and also causes said display part to display the image data of a new display object from among the image data that have been read.

Image display device and image display method

There are provided an input unit which inputs an object with scan information attached thereto into an image of a subject acquired on the basis of the scan information, and an insertion unit which inserts report information to the object when preparation of an image interpretation report of a study based on the image is completed.

Apparatus and method for storing medical information

A medical image processing apparatus includes a selection unit which selects a combination of images acquired in substantially equal time phases in a cycle from a first image group including a plurality of first images acquired at different time points in a first period by imaging an organ whose shape cyclically varies and a second image group including a plurality of second images acquired at different time points in a second period different from the first period by imaging the organ based on a characteristics value indicative of characteristics of the shape of the organ measured from the first and second image groups, and a generation unit which generates combination information indicative of the combination selected by the selection unit.

Conditions regarding attributes of images for generating multi-frame image data including plural frames of images in one file from image data are previously stored. When image data is received, multi-frame image data is generated from the received image data based on incidental information included in the image data and the previously stored conditions. Then, the generated multi-frame image data is archived. When a request for an image is made by a certain terminal, an application functioning on the terminal is identified, and multi-frame image data compliant with the application is transmitted from among the generated multi-frame image data.

Image archive apparatus

A first display displays a medical image based on medical image data. A second display displays a generation screen for generating a string of a medical imaging report. A display controller causes the first display and the second display to display images. An operation part is for operating a pointer displayed on the first display and the second display. An annotation generator receives designation of a position on the medical image displayed on the first display by using the pointer, and attaches sign data representing a position specification sign to the medical image data.
