The present invention aims to provide a technique enabling an information added by another user to be referenced and enabling the range of the information the user references from a database to be customized. A related information database in which a plurality of elements are accumulated is prepared, and an output setting information in which an information relating to the output of an additional information is associated with each other, in response to the additional writing of the additional information by a certain user to the related information database is stored. The output setting information of the certain user can be changed by the user. A portion of information is extracted from the related information database in accordance with an input of an extraction condition by the user, and the portion of information is visually output according to information relating to the output of the user.

Database system and program

In a medical information system, with respect to a plurality of kinds of medical databases, a plurality of search items included in a search query inputted by a user are sorted in accordance with search divisions, and thereby divided into a finding report search query and a specimen test query. By using these queries, the corresponding databases are searched independently, and individual search results obtained therefrom are combined to generate a combined search result. The individual search result is assigned with an individual score in accordance with the matching degree with the search item. In combining the individual search results, a relevancy score is assigned. The search results are ranked and combined in descending order of the scores. This requires only one issuance of a search execution order without the need to perform a search operation a plurality of times, in order to obtain a desired search result.

Medical information system and program for same

In a plurality of pieces of single report structured data that is stored in a structured database in a diagnosis information database, character information constructing a radiological report describing detailed information of image data is added as metadata for search to the image data. For example, only by designating image data to be read as image (retrieval reference image) data as a reference of retrieval by a reading physician as the user during radiological operation, the character information already added to the retrieval reference image data is set as a keyword. By a keyword search using the metadata, data of a similar image and a related report of the retrieval reference image data are detected from the structured DB.

Database system, program, image retrieving method, and report retrieving method

The present invention provides a medical support system capable of properly supporting entry of medical information by a medical professional. A medical support system stores, as medical data, first medical information entered by a medical professional as an operator, and second medical information entered without direct intervention of the medical professional. Further, the medical support system generates and outputs support information for supporting entry of the first medical information by the medical professional. In the medical support system, the support information is generated on the basis of the first medical information and second medical information being entered. Therefore, in the medical support system, when the first medical information and second medical information being entered changes, the support information to be generated also changes.

Medical support system

An apparatus for detecting a person or the like from an image extracts candidates, which are considered to human body regions, from the image. Region likelihood probabilities of the respective candidates are obtained, and a human body likelihood of a collection of the candidates is probabilistically calculated using the region likelihood probabilities and correlations among the candidates. It is thereby possible to detect the person robustly against occlusion or change in photographic environment without increasing calculation cost.
