In the embodiment of the present invention, when identification information acquired from a drug or instrument to be used on a patient is not included in schedule information stored beforehand, a user is notified to confirm that the identification information is not included in the schedule information. After the notification is provided, in registering the acquired identification information as practice details, the name of a doctor who instructed to use the drug or instrument, which is different from the drug or instrument specified by schedule information, and the reason for the instruction are registered, while associated with the practice details. Accordingly, drugs or instruments necessary for patients can be used in an appropriate manner.

An endoscopic examination system consists mainly of an examination terminal, a report input/output terminal, and a server. The examination terminal is connected to endoscopic examination equipment. The report input/output terminal is used to enter environmental information concerning the details of an environment under which an endoscopic examination is performed (an examining doctor's name, a name of equipment employed, etc.), and reporting information concerning the results of an endoscopic examination (findings, diagnosis, etc.). The examination data (endoscopic image data, etc.) sent from the examination terminal, and the reporting information and examination request sent from the report input/output terminal server are preserved in the server.

Image data is stored in any MO medium, and association information for associating image information in an MO medium with identification information for specifying the MO medium is managed by the respective image management tables of a plurality of image file apparatus. Each of the image file apparatus presents the identification information of an MO medium storing desired image data therein and thus makes a request for mounting the desired MO medium, thereby to obtain the desired image data. It is accordingly permitted to share image data among the plurality of image file apparatus.

Each of a plurality of endoscopes of an endoscope system is provided with a non-volatile memory in which information inherent to an endoscope, such as the model and manufacturing number, is stored. By a large capacity memory device provided in a server, which is connected with the endoscope through a network, with information inherent to each endoscope, the use condition, the cleaning condition, the cleaning effective period and the like are centrally administrated. Accordingly, the use condition, the cleaning condition and the like of each endoscope used in an endoscopic examination can be confirmed so that the endoscopic examination can be performed smoothly.

An image reading apparatus in which a document conveying roller is provided on one surface side of a transparent member provided on a document conveying path and at least one light source is provided on the other surface side of the transparent member to direct light to the document through the transparent member while being conveyed along the transparent member and light-receiving elements receive light, which is reflected from the document, so as to read out document information. In the image reading apparatus, in order to eliminate a variation in the detection output of the reflected light resulting from a variation in the detection characteristic of the light-receiving element, the roller for document conveyance is white and the light reflected from a roller area is detected by the light-receiving elements to obtain a signal as a reference white level signal. A plurality of unenlarged white sections are provided on the roller and do not contact with the transparent member and document during the conveyance of the document past the roller to keep the roller clean. It is thus possible to obtain a stable reference white level signal for a prolonged period of time with the use of the light which originates from the light source and is reflected from the unenlarged white sections of the roller.
