In particular, the authentication information related to the user and the authority information representing the functional range that can be operated for each individual user in those devices. The present invention relates to a medical system and a medical computer device that can easily set account information including.

  Some medical devices such as diagnostic apparatuses such as an X-ray CT apparatus and an MRI apparatus include an inspection apparatus including an imaging apparatus and an apparatus (console) on the image processing side which are separately configured as one apparatus. The inspection apparatus includes a computer that controls the imaging apparatus (hereinafter referred to as “apparatus control computer”), and the image processing apparatus includes a computer apparatus for displaying and processing captured images (hereinafter, referred to as “computer”). (Referred to as “image display computer”) (see FIG. 21). In addition, a plurality of image display computers may be connected to a medical device as one apparatus so that observation can be performed at a plurality of locations (see FIG. 22). Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 22, other medical devices of the same type or different types may be connected to one medical device via a network or the like. Hereinafter, one medical device (examination device and console), one medical device and an image display computer, a plurality of medical devices, or a combination thereof are broadly referred to as a “medical system”. Each device control computer or each image display computer may be collectively referred to simply as a “computer”.

  When each medical system in FIGS. 21 and 22 is used by a doctor, a technician, or a user such as a service engineer who performs maintenance (collectively referred to as a “user”), the user logs in to each computer and logs in to the user. Authentication is performed, and functions and display contents that can be used are restricted according to the user's authority. Computer settings such as network relationships and individual processing applications may differ depending on the function and configuration of each computer, but user authentication and authority are systematically defined for the entire medical system connected by communication means. Therefore, it is common to all computers.

This arrangement is the arrangement of each device in the embodiment of the present invention. The configuration is also shown.

[Functional Configuration of First Embodiment]
The embodiment of FIG. 1 will be described. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a functional configuration for explaining an embodiment of the present invention between an apparatus control computer 100b and an image display computer 200 in the medical system arranged and configured as shown in FIG. . 1 will be described below, but the functional operation is the same between the apparatus control computer 100b and the image display computer 300, and between the image display computer 200 and the image display computer 300. Therefore, it is omitted in the following description.

  1, the operation unit 1a, the display unit 2a, the display control unit 3a, the authentication unit 4a, the information storage unit 7a, and the communication unit 8a in the device control computer 100b are the same as the operation unit 1b and the display in the image display computer 200. The unit 2b, the display control unit 3b, the authentication unit 4b, the information storage unit 7b, and the communication unit 8b are the same unless otherwise described. Therefore, the operation unit 1a, the display unit 2a, the display control unit 3a, the authentication unit 4a, the information storage unit 7a, and the communication unit 8a in the apparatus control computer 100b will be mainly described.

  In FIG. 1, an operation unit 1a, a display unit 2a, and a display control unit 3a constitute a so-called user interface, and photographing, diagnosis, and various operations related to them are made possible while viewing the screen of the display unit 2a. Yes.

  The display control unit 3a stores screen information for guiding each operation, displays screen information corresponding to the function to be operated every time the operation is performed, and information input by the user along the screen information. Is sent to each part in the device. The screen information includes, for example, screen information for inputting account information, login screen information, screen information for photographing, screen information for generating and diagnosing images. However, since the image display computer 200 is for observation and does not have the photographing control unit 10a, the display control unit 3b does not include guide screen information for photographing.

  For example, the display control unit 3a displays an account information input screen as shown in FIG. 10 on the display unit 2a, and the user inputs a user name and the like using the operation unit 1a and selects authority information (see FIG. 10 points), the information is received and completed. Note that such reception is an example, and the account information of FIG. 12 may be received in a file (electronic data) format via a network, such as the electronic data of FIG. You may receive it in memory.

  For example, when the user logs in by entering a password or the like when the login screen is displayed as shown in FIG. 15, for example, the authentication unit 4a stores the password stored in the information storage unit 7a in advance. The authentication information is checked to determine whether or not they match, and if they match, the display control unit 3a is instructed to permit login and not to match if they do not match. In addition, regarding the function that the user has input for operation, when the authentication unit 4a matches the authority information of the user stored in the information storage unit 7a, the operation input is permitted. The display control unit 3a is controlled so as not to occur.

  The information storage unit 7a stores in advance account information including authentication information such as a user password and authority information indicating a functional range that the user can operate. In order to input and store this account information in the information storage unit 7a, the account information input from the operation unit 1 by the operation unit 1a based on the screen of FIG. 10 or FIG. 11 (the content is the same as FIG. 10). The account information input from the outside in the fill format shown in FIG. 6 can be stored, and the account information received from the image display computer 200 (or 300) via the communication unit 8a can also be stored. These procedures will be described later.

  The communication unit 8a sends account information input from the operation unit 1a and stored in the information storage unit 7a to the image display computer 200 (and 300), and stores it in the information storage unit 7b. Further, the account information input to and sent from the image display computer 200 (and 300) is stored in the information storage unit 7a. Note that the communication method may be a case where the computers are directly connected by a communication cable for serial communication, or a network using TCP / IP may be used (both are broad networks). In a network using TCP / IP, the device control computer 100b and the image display computer 200 connected to the network are assigned IP addresses, and the communication units 8a and 8b are assigned port numbers. When transmitting the account information, the account information is transmitted to the destination indicated by the IP address and the port number. The transmission side, for example, the apparatus control computer 100b may transmit the account information by broadcasting, and the image display computer 200 (300) may retrieve the broadcast account information. Further, the communication units 8a and 8b send encrypted information when sending the account information. When receiving the encrypted account information, the communication units 8a and 8b can decrypt the information and store it in the information storage unit 7b (or 7a). good.

  The imaging control unit 10a controls the imaging device 100a according to the information input by the operation according to the imaging guide screen information displayed on the screen, and causes the imaging to be performed. The image generation / storage unit 9a reconstructs and stores an image of the affected area of the subject from data obtained by the imaging apparatus 100a, and performs diagnosis or observation according to an operation based on the displayed diagnostic screen information. Are displayed on the display unit 2a via the display control unit 3a. Since the image display computer 200 does not generate an image, the image display computer 200 has the image storage unit 11 and receives image data from the image generation storage unit 9a of the apparatus control computer 100b via the communication unit 8b. It memorize | stores in the memory | storage part 11, and displays it on the display part 2b according to the observation request | requirement from the operation part 1b.

[Operation Flow of First Embodiment]
Based on FIG. 4A, an operation flow relating to input of account information in FIG. 1 will be described.
Step S1a: An account input screen is displayed as shown in FIG.
Step S2a: The user inputs a name, a password (authentication information), and selects an item for which operation authority is to be set as authority information (point in FIG. 10). In FIG. 10, as account information, for example, authority to input patient information (patient name, date of birth, symptom, medical record, etc.), authority to capture and reconstruct an image, and image parameters related to imaging of the imaging apparatus The authority to change, the authority to change account information, etc. can be set.
Step S3a: When the OK key is clicked in FIG. 10, the account information of FIG. 10 is stored in the information storage unit 7a.
Step S4a: Account information stored in the information storage unit 7a is transmitted and received by the network and communication units 8a and 8b and stored in the information storage unit 7b of the image display computer 200. At this time, together with the account information, a notification of “transmission” may be sent from the communication unit 8a to the communication unit 8b.
Step S5a, Step 7a: The account information input operation ends.

FIG. 4B is a diagram illustrating an operation flow when the user logs in and starts an operation after the account information is input or sent. In this case, since the account information is stored in each computer according to the embodiment, the user can log in from any computer. For example, the image display computer 200 will be described.
Step S1b: The login screen shown in FIG. 15 is displayed on the display unit 2b.
Step S2b: The user inputs authentication information such as a password using the operation means 1b.
Step S3b: The authentication unit 4b checks whether there is authentication information that matches the authentication information such as a password input from the account information in the information storage unit 7b, and permits login if it exists. Thereafter, the display control device 3b and the authentication unit 4b may display only the screen information within the range of the authority information of the user stored in the information storage unit 7b, and may not display other items. In addition, when the authentication unit 4b matches the authority information of the user stored in the information storage unit 7b for the function that the user has input for operation, the operation input is permitted. You may control the display control part 3b so that it may not.

[Functional Configuration of Second Embodiment]
The embodiment of FIG. 2 will be described. 2 differs from FIG. 1 in that extraction units 5a and 5b and update management units 6a and 6b are added, and the other elements are the same. Since the extraction unit 5a and the update management unit 6a have the same functions as the extraction unit 5b and the update management unit 6b, only one of them will be described.

  The extraction unit 5b stores in advance resources (for example, various software, peripheral devices, and the like) that achieve the functions of the image display computer 200 itself, and, for example, account information sent from the device control computer 100b. The information received by the communication unit 8b is compared with the authority information therein, and the authority information exceeding the range of the self-owned resource is limited or deleted, and stored in the information storage unit 7b. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the account information received from the device control computer 100b is compared with functional resources that can be owned or controlled by the computer (receiving computer), for example, because there is only browsing software and DICOM communication software. If there is, only the authority based on it is extracted, and other authority information is deleted and stored in the information storage unit 7b.

  Therefore, the extraction unit 5b can adjust and restrict user operation authority according to the purpose and function of each computer for account information input by one computer. As another example, the apparatus control computer 100b performs a shooting function, but the image display computer 200 does not have a shooting function. Accordingly, there is authority information relating to photographing in the authority information of the apparatus control computer 100b, and even if it is stored in the image display computer 200 as it is, the authority relating to photographing cannot be executed. Need to be stored in the computer 200.

The update management unit 6b does not store the input account information suddenly in the information storage unit 7b as in the first embodiment, but performs the following (1), (2) or (3). . The update means that new account information is newly stored as it is, and if there is account information with the same password, it is changed with new count information.
(1) A confirmation screen for updating account information (see FIGS. 13 and 14) is displayed on the display unit 2a, and is confirmed and stored after confirmation by the user. FIG. 14 is a display example of a confirmation screen when the account information is input, for example, when the update management unit 6a of the apparatus control computer 100b operates. FIG. 13 is an example of a confirmation screen at the time of update when the update management unit 6b on the image display computer 200 side that has received the account information from the apparatus control computer 100b operates.

(2) The account information is temporarily stored in the information storage unit 7b and, for example, a confirmation screen (see FIGS. 12, 16, and 19) for displaying the account information at the next login is displayed on the display unit 2b. And confirm and memorize it after user confirmation. In FIG. 16, the fact that new account information has been received from the apparatus control computer 100b (or input from the operation unit 1b) at the time of login is displayed to notify the user, and an inquiry is made as to “update and login” or “login”. . When the user selects the former, the authority information previously stored in the information storage unit 7b is updated and stored in this manner, and login is performed based on the new authority information. If the latter is selected, the account information stored temporarily is discarded and the login is performed based on the stored authority information. Compared to FIG. 16, FIG. 12 makes it easier to determine whether update is possible by specifying authority information. Also, FIG. 19 clearly shows the input user, date and time, device, and the like when the account information is input, so that it can be easily determined whether or not update is possible.
(3) Similar to (2) above, but regardless of the login timing, for example, the communication unit 8b of the image display computer 200 receives the account information from the communication unit 8a of the apparatus control computer 100b and the account information. Whether or not the display control unit 3b notifies the display unit 2b of “received” as shown in FIG. 17 or 18 and updates the account information. The previous account information may be updated with the new account information temporarily stored according to the user's selection, or the new account information may be discarded. When the image display computer 200 is sent from the apparatus control computer 100b when the power is off, the communication unit 8b accesses and receives the communication unit 8a after the power of the image display computer 200 is turned on. Alternatively, the display of FIG. 17 or 18 may be displayed. The difference between FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 is an example in which the former clearly indicates authority information that is the contents of the account information, and the latter clearly indicates the user who entered the account information, the date and time, and the like.

  These main operations will be described in the operation flow of the second embodiment, but the next [operation flow 1 of the second embodiment] does not include the extraction units 5a and 5b, as shown in FIG. Is a description of the operation flow when a confirmation screen for updating the account information of (1) above is issued. [Operation flow 2 of the second embodiment] is the operation of the extraction units 5a and 5b and the above. (1) is a description of the operation flow when the confirmation screen is displayed. [Operation flow 3 of the second embodiment] is that the extraction units 5a and 5b operate and the account information is temporarily stored as in (2) above. It is description of the operation | movement flow in the case of issuing the confirmation screen for memorize | store and update.

[Operation Flow 1 of Second Embodiment]
This will be described with reference to FIG.
Step S11a: The display unit 2a displays an account input screen as shown in FIG.
Step S12a: The user selects a name, a password (authentication information), and an operation authority (point in FIG. 10).
Steps S13a, 14a: The display control unit 3a receives the selected result and displays the confirmation screen of FIG. 14 on the display unit 2a. The user selects either OK in FIG. 14 or application or cancellation for the entire apparatus.
Steps S15a and 18a: If the user selects OK in FIG. 14, the account information is updated and stored only in the information storage unit 7a, and the process is terminated.
Step S16a: When the user selects the entire apparatus, the information storage unit 7a stores account information.
Step S17a: Account information stored in the information storage unit 7a is transmitted and received by the network and communication units 8a and 8b and temporarily stored.
Step S19a: Then, a confirmation screen as to whether or not to update the account as shown in FIG. 13, FIG. 17 or FIG. 18 is displayed on the display unit 2b.
Steps S20a, 21a: When a key to be updated is selected (clicked) on the confirmation screen, the information storage unit 7b updates and stores it, and the process ends.
If cancel is selected in step S14a and not updated in step S20, the input account information is discarded and the process ends.

[Operation Flow 2 of Second Embodiment]
FIG. 7 is a flow including the operations of the extraction units 5a and 5b in addition to FIG. FIG. 7 is different in that steps 17b and 17c are added. Only these steps will be described below. In FIG. 7, steps having the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 6 perform the same operations.

Step 17b: The extraction unit 5b stores in advance the functional resources of the image display computer 200 itself, and receives, for example, account information received from the device control computer 100b by the communication unit 8b. A comparison is made to determine whether the authority can be properly executed within the range of the self-owned resource (information flow is shown in FIG. 5).
Step 17c: The account information extracted by restricting or deleting authority information exceeding the range of the self-owned resource is stored in the information storage unit 6b.
The above steps 17b and 17c are effective when the image display computer 200 receives and registers account information set in another device (device control computer 100b in FIG. 2).

[Operation Flow 3 of Second Embodiment]
8 and 9 show an operation flow. 4 adds the operation step of the extraction unit 5b to the operation flow of FIG. 4 (steps 17b and 17c), and temporarily stores the account information once in the information storage units 7a and 7b. This is an example in which the account information is confirmed and stored or abandoned after obtaining the user confirmation. In FIG. 8, steps denoted by the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 6 and FIG.

  Steps S16b and S21b: The information storage unit 7a temporarily stores the account input in step S12a, and the information storage unit 7b temporarily stores the account information transmitted in step S17a and extracted in steps S17b and S17c.

Based on the steps 16b and 21b of FIG.
Steps S80 and 81: If the account control unit 3b (or 3a) has already received (input) the account information, the account information is displayed by displaying a confirmation screen as shown in FIG. Is received (or input), and a login confirmation screen is displayed as to whether to log in after updating. When the user inputs (selects) necessary information on the confirmation screen, the login is accepted.

  Steps S83 and S84: When the user who sees the login confirmation screen clicks (selects) the “update and login” key, the information storage unit 7b (or 7a) stops the temporary storage of the account information, and stores the confirmation And then authenticate, and if they match, allow login. When the “login” key is clicked, the information storage unit 7b (or 7a) stops the temporary storage of account information (does not store the account information), authenticates thereafter, and if they match, login is permitted.

[Functional Configuration of Third Embodiment]
The embodiment of FIG. 3 will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a functional configuration for explaining the embodiment of the present invention between the apparatus control computer 100b and the apparatus control computer 400b in the medical system arranged and configured as shown in FIG. . In FIG. 3 and FIG. 2, the same reference numerals indicate the same functions. Therefore, FIG. 3 is equivalent to the image display computer 200 in FIG. 2 replaced with the apparatus control computer 100b. Hereinafter, differences will be mainly described.

  3 and FIG. 22, for example, if the inspection apparatus 100 is an X-ray CT apparatus and the inspection apparatus 400 is an MRI apparatus, the imaging control unit 10a and the image generation storage unit 9a naturally have the imaging control unit 10b and the image generation. Since the purpose and operation of the storage unit 9b are different from each other, the account information input to the device control computer 100b and the device control computer 400b is also different.

  For example, in FIG. 3, the extraction unit 5b of the device control computer 400b that has received the account information input to the device control computer 100b has its own functional resources (software and hardware configuration) as shown in FIG. The received account information is compared, and the extracted account information is excluded from the received account information except for the “3D configuration” and “4D configuration” (both images that can be reconstructed by the image playback storage unit 9a) that cannot function by themselves. Store in the storage unit 7b.

  Even when the inspection apparatus 100 is an X-ray CT apparatus and the inspection apparatus 400 is also an X-ray CT apparatus, that is, between inspection apparatuses of the same type, the type, version, and options may be different. Also in such a case, the extraction units 5a and 5b can extract only the account information suitable for itself from the account information transmitted from other devices than itself.
