  Further, the collation table 38 is a table for determining the degree of coincidence by comparing the barcode detection examinee information and the image detection examinee information, and the determination results include “complete match”, “ Either “partial match” or “mismatch” is recorded in the determination result. Here, the bar code detection examinee information is information of the examinee ID detected by reading the bar code displayed on the wristband 72 worn by the examinee, and the image detection examinee information is: This is information detected by optical character recognition (OCR) in the area of the examinee ID display column 200 in the image data of the examination screen received via the image distributor 80 and the capture unit 82.

  The CPU 40 controls the operation of each unit in the terminal 10, has functions as a control device, an arithmetic device, and a main storage device, and particularly operates according to each program stored in the program storage unit 32.

  The monitor 50 is connected to the communication unit 26. The monitor 50 particularly includes a determination result obtained by comparing the barcode detection examinee information and the image detection examinee information, and the examinee ID detected from the barcode. Information on the examinee having the same examinee ID is displayed. The speaker 60 is connected to the communication unit 28, and the speaker 60 outputs a sound corresponding to the determination result. The monitor 50 and the speaker 60 function as an output device.

  A barcode reader (reading device) 70 is connected to the communication unit 24, irradiates the barcode with a laser beam or LED light, and reads and recognizes the reflected light. The barcode reader 70 is for reading the barcode displayed on the wristband 72 worn by the examinee.

  A bar code is displayed on the wristband 72, and the examinee ID is displayed in the form of a bar code. The bar code read by the bar code reader 70 is analyzed according to a program for analyzing the bar code, whereby the examinee ID is detected. That is, it is set as the characterized examinee ID by analyzing the examinee ID as a barcode.

  Here, the barcode reader 70 functions as “reading means (reading device) for reading the read information as information held in the information holding means given to the examinee”, and the barcode read by the barcode reader 70 The program storage unit 32 that stores a program for analyzing the information and the CPU 40 that operates according to the program function as “second examinee information detection means for detecting the examinee ID from the read information read by the reading means” To do. The “reading means” and the “second examinee information detection means” constitute a examinee ID reading means.

  In addition, the wristband 72 may include “information holding means given to the examinee (may be used as an information holding unit (the same applies to others)”), “barcode display on which a barcode as read information is displayed”, The bar code corresponding to the “wear” and displayed on the wristband 72 corresponds to “information held in the information holding unit”, that is, read information.

  The image distributor 80 is a device that distributes and outputs input / output image signals. Specifically, when the image signal is a VGA signal, a VGA splitter is used, and the image signal is a DVI signal. In this case, a DVI splitter is used. The image distributor 80 is connected between the CT console 112 and the console monitor 114 and is connected to the capture unit 82, and outputs an image signal transmitted between the CT console 112 and the console monitor 114 to the capture unit 82. . Regarding the connection of the image distributor 80 with the CT console 112, the terminal of the CT console 112 (VGA terminal when the image signal is a VGA signal, DVI terminal when the image signal is a DVI terminal) and the input of the image distributor 80. The terminals are connected with a connection cable, and for connection with the console monitor 114 of the image distributor 80, the output terminal of the image distributor 80 and the terminal of the console monitor 114 (if the image signal is a VGA signal, the VGA terminal, In the case of DVI terminals, the DVI terminals) are connected with a connection cable.

  The capture unit (conversion device) 82 converts an image signal for monitor display (which may be an analog signal or a digital signal) into digital image data. There are cases where a VGA signal (analog RGB signal) is converted into digital image data, or a DVI signal (digital RGB signal) as a digital signal is converted into digital image data. The capture unit 82 is connected to the image distributor 80 and the communication unit 20, converts the signal received from the image distributor 80, and transmits the signal to the communication unit 20.

  The converted digital image data in the capture unit 82 is digital image data corresponding to USB input, for example, data of a still image (for example, a still image in JPEG format). Image data is output. Since the examinee ID is detected using the converted digital image data, it can be said that the digital image data is digital image data for detecting the examinee ID. Regarding the connection of the capture unit 82 to the image distributor 80, the output terminal of the image distributor 80 and the input terminal of the capture unit 82 are connected by a connection cable.

  Here, the image distributor 80 indicates that “the examination device, the examination device control device that controls the operation of the examination device, and the image given based on the image signal transmitted from the examination device control device is given to the examinee. An image signal acquisition means connected between the inspection device control device and the monitor in the modality device having a display field for displaying the person ID and having a monitor for displaying an image for operating the inspection device control device. In the “image signal acquisition means for acquiring the image signal transmitted from the device control apparatus”, the capture unit 82 corresponds to “the conversion means for converting the image signal acquired by the image signal acquisition means into digital image data”. The digital image data output from the capture unit 82 corresponds to “image data based on the image signal acquired by the image signal acquisition unit”.

  The hub (hub device) 90 is specifically a repeater hub. The repeater hub has a plurality of ports, and transmission data received from a certain terminal (port) is transmitted from all other terminals (ports). Communication data which is a device having a function of outputting, is connected to the RIS server 106 and the CT console 112, is connected to the communication unit 22, and is communicated between the RIS server 106 and the CT console 112 (that is, transmitted / received). Is transmitted to the communication unit 22 as it is. That is, the hub 90 sends the transmission data sent from the RIS server 106 to the CT console 112 and the transmission data sent from the CT console 112 to the RIS server 106 to the terminal 10 via the communication unit 22. For connection with the RIS server 106 of the hub 90, the LAN terminal of the RIS server 106 and one terminal of the hub 90 are connected with a connection cable, and for connection with the CT console 112 of the hub 90, the LAN of the CT console 112 is connected. The connection between the terminal and one other terminal of the hub 90 is made with a connection cable, and for connection with the communication unit 22 of the hub 90, the other one terminal of the hub 90 and the terminal of the communication unit 22 (for example, a LAN terminal) Connect with a connection cable.

  Next, the medical information system 100 is a medical information system in a medical institution such as a hospital, and includes a system main body 101 and a modality device 110.

  Here, the system main body 101 includes a terminal 102, a HIS server (Hospital Information System Server) (hospital information system server) 104 connected to the terminal 102, and an RIS server (Radiology Information System Server) connected to the HIS server 104. (Radiation department information system server) 106.

  Here, HIS is a general term for examination diagnosis reservation systems (ordering systems), medical accounting systems, electronic medical records, etc. in hospitals, and RIS is the examination department in the radiology department, the management of medicines, This system manages inspection statistics.

  Here, the RIS server 106 functions as a “transmission device that transmits transmission data to be input to the inspection apparatus control device with transmission data including at least the examiner information having the visitor ID assigned to the examinee”.

  Further, the modality device 110 includes a CT console 112, a console monitor 114, a gantry 116, and a bed 118.

  The CT console 112 is a computer device that controls the operation of the gantry 116 and the bed 118, and the console monitor 114 is a display device that is used when operating the gantry 116 and the bed 118. A screen is displayed.

  In the examination screen shown in FIG. 11, the examinee ID display column 200, the examinee name display column 202, the examinee name display column 204, the date of birth display column 206, the gender display column 208, and the age display A column 210, a weight display column 212, an image display column 220 for displaying captured images, and the like are provided. The examinee name display field 202 and the examinee name display field 204 are provided, one of which is displayed in katakana or romaji, and the other is displayed in kanji.

  In the system main body 101 and the modality device 110, when the inspection order information is sent from the terminal 102 to the HIS server 104, the inspection order information and the examinee information are sent from the HIS server 104 to the RIS server 106. The examination order information and the examinee information are sent from CT to the CT console 112. The CT console 112 displays a predetermined examination screen (see FIG. 11) on the console monitor 114 in accordance with the examination order information and the examinee information sent from the RIS server 106. The examination screen shown in FIG. 11 is an image displayed based on the image signal transmitted from the CT console 112, and is a display field (namely, a visitor ID display field) that displays a visitor ID given to the examinee. 200) and an image for operating the CT console 112.

  Here, the gantry 116 and the bed 118 correspond to “inspection equipment”, the CT console 112 corresponds to “inspection equipment control device that controls the operation of the inspection equipment”, and the console monitor 114 “image signal transmitted from the inspection equipment control device”. This is an image based on the above, and has a display column for displaying the examinee ID given to the examinee, and corresponds to a “monitor for displaying an image for operating the inspection device control apparatus”.

  It should be noted that the patient confirmation device 5 (that is, the terminal 10, the monitor 50, the speaker 60, the barcode reader 70, the image distributor 80, the capture unit 82, and the hub 90), and the modality device 110 (that is, A CT console 112, a console monitor 114, a gantry 116, and a bed 118) are provided in the examination room.

  Next, the operation of the patient confirmation apparatus 5 will be described using the flowcharts shown in FIGS. In the flowcharts shown in FIG. 5 to FIG. 10, FIG. 5 describes the operation performed by the operator, and FIGS. 6 to 10 illustrate the operation in the terminal 10.

  First, communication data is received via the hub 90 at a predetermined cycle (for example, several tens to several thousand times per second (the same applies to other cases)), and examinee information included in the communication data is detected. The detected patient information is stored in the DICOM detected patient information storage unit 36.

  That is, communication data communicated between the RIS server 106 and the CT console 112 via the hub 90 (that is, transmitted / received) is received for each packet (S31), and this communication data is filtered to obtain only DICOM data. Is extracted (S32). That is, since the communication data between the RIS server 106 and the CT console 112 includes data other than DICOM data (for example, communication data of the TCP / IP standard), only the DICOM data is extracted.

  Then, it is determined whether or not a predetermined data group (that is, a data group of “C-FIND-RSP-DATA”) exists in the extracted DICOM data (S33). A data group is extracted (S34). This “C-FIND-RSP-DATA” data group is a data group transmitted to the CT console 112 at the time of starting examination in DICOM data, and the patient information is included in this data group. It is.

  When the predetermined data group is extracted, the data group is analyzed to extract the examinee information (examinee ID, name, date of birth, sex), and the examinee information is stored in the DICOM detection examinee information storage unit 36. Save (S36).

  The processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 6 is performed at a predetermined cycle. When a predetermined input operation (step S12 described later) is performed on the CT console 112, a data group of “C-FIND-RQ” is generated from the CT console 112. In response to this, since a data group of “C-FIND-RSP-DATA” is transmitted from the RIS server 106 to the CT console 112, information on the examinee is received from the packet received at that time. Can be detected.

  The DICOM detection examinee information storage unit 36 accumulates all detected examinee information. That is, the patient information is stored sequentially without being overwritten.

  Here, the hub 90 transmits “transmission data to be transmitted to the inspection device control device with transmission data including at least the examiner information having the visitor ID given to the examinee, and the inspection device control device. 6 functions as “communication data acquisition means for acquiring communication data including the transmission data by communication data communicated between the transmission apparatus and the inspection apparatus control apparatus”, and communication data acquisition means connected in between. A program storage unit 32 that stores a program for performing the processes from S35 to S35 and a CPU 40 that operates according to the program are referred to as a “recipient information detection unit that detects the recipient information from the communication data acquired by the communication data acquisition unit”. A program storage unit 32 that stores a program that functions and performs the process of step S36 in FIG. The CPU 40 that operates according to the system and the DICOM detection examinee information storage unit 36 for accumulating the examinee information function as a “recipient information accumulation means for accumulating the examinee information detected by the examinee information detection means”. .

  Next, as an inspection procedure, first, an inspection order is input from the terminal 102 (S11, S41). Then, inspection order information is transmitted to the HIS server 104 (S42), and inspection order information and examinee information are transmitted from the HIS server 104 to the RIS server 106 (S43).

  Next, a predetermined input operation is performed on the CT console 112 (specifically, the “From Server” icon 230 on the inspection screen in FIG. 11 is clicked) (S12). Then, the examinee information and the examination order information are transmitted from the RIS server 106 to the CT console 112 (S51, S52), and the latest examination is performed from the CT console 112 according to the examinee information and examination order information sent from the RIS server 106. The screen data is transmitted to and displayed on the console monitor 114, and the examination screen for the next examinee to be examined is displayed (S53).

  That is, when the predetermined input operation is performed on the CT console 112, the patient information is transmitted to the CT console 112 (that is, the patient information and the examination order information are “C-FIND-RSP-DATA”. By receiving the communication data via the hub 90, the information on the examinee can be detected. The process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 8 is performed at a predetermined cycle.

  Next, the examinee moves to the examination room (S13), and the barcode on the wristband 72 worn by the examinee is read by the barcode reader 70 in the examination room (S14).

  Then, in the terminal 10, it is determined whether or not the barcode has been read in a predetermined cycle (S61), and when the barcode is read, the read barcode is analyzed and the examinee ID And the detected patient ID is stored in the bar code detection patient information in the collation table 38 (S62). The “examinee” here means “patient” and is synonymous with “subject”.

  Next, image detection examinee information is detected and stored (S63). That is, since the examination screen (see FIG. 11) of the examinee to be examined next is displayed on the console monitor 114, the examination screen image is analyzed (S81). In other words, the image signal of the inspection screen is sent from the image distributor 80 to the capture unit 82, and the image signal is converted into digital image data and sent to the terminal 10 in the capture unit 82. , The region of the examinee ID display column 200 in the received digital image data (image data of the examination screen) is analyzed by optical character recognition (OCR) at the barcode reading timing by the barcode reader 70. The patient ID is detected from the digital image data. In other words, the digital image data is sent to the CPU 40 via the communication unit 20 at a predetermined cycle, but the CPU 40 detects the optical character for the digital image data sent via the communication unit 20 immediately after detecting the barcode reading. Recognize. As described above, the examinee ID is detected based on the image signal acquired by the image distributor 80. Here, the analysis program stored in the program storage unit 32 and the CPU 40 operating in accordance with the analysis program “the first visitor ID detection for detecting the visitor ID from the digital image data obtained by the converting means”. Means. In addition, the analysis unit stored in the capture unit 82 and the program storage unit 32 and the CPU 40 operating in accordance with the analysis program indicate that “the patient ID is detected based on the image signal acquired by the image signal acquisition unit”. 1 examinee ID detecting means ”.

  The examinee ID detected by this analysis is stored in the image detection examinee information in the collation table (S82). As described above, a pair of information of barcode detection examinee information and image detection examinee information is stored in the collation table 38.

  In FIG. 9, “barcode detection patient information is stored (S62)” is followed by “image detection patient information is detected and stored (S63)”, but the order may be reversed. It is also possible to perform “save bar code detection patient information” after “detect and save image detection patient information”.

  Next, the barcode detection examinee information and the image detection examinee information are collated to determine the degree of coincidence (S64). That is, the degree of coincidence is digitized and the degree of coincidence is determined. As a method of digitizing the degree of coincidence, for example, in a plurality of digits of information, a ratio of the digits that coincide is calculated. Here, the program storage unit 32 that stores a program for performing the determination and the CPU 40 that operates according to the program are configured as “the patient ID detected by the first patient ID detection unit and the second patient ID detection unit”. It functions as a “determination unit that compares the examiner ID detected by the above and determines the degree of coincidence”.

  Next, as a result of collating the barcode detection examinee information and the image detection examinee information, it is determined whether or not they are completely matched (S65). S66). For example, a display indicating complete match is displayed on the monitor 50 and a sound indicating complete match is output from the speaker 60. For example, as shown in FIG. 12A, a character 52a of “complete match” is displayed together with a symbol 51a (◯ graphic) indicating complete match as a display indicating complete match.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S65 that there is no complete match, it is determined whether or not there is a partial match (S67). If there is a partial match, an output indicating that there is a partial match is output (S68). For example, a display indicating a partial match is performed on the monitor 50 and a sound indicating a partial match is output from the speaker 60. For example, as shown in FIG. 12B, the character 52b of “partial match” is displayed together with a symbol 51b (a graphic of Δ) indicating partial match as shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S67 that there is no partial match, a message indicating a mismatch is output (S69). For example, a display indicating mismatch is displayed on the monitor 50 and a sound indicating mismatch is output from the speaker 60. For example, as shown in FIG. 12C, a character 52c of “mismatch” is displayed together with a symbol 51c (x graphic) indicating mismatch as shown in FIG.

  It should be noted that how to classify a complete match, a partial match, and a mismatch are classified by providing a threshold value for the value of the match level, for example, 100% and a% as threshold values, Is 100%, a complete match is obtained, and when the degree of coincidence is not less than a% and less than 100%, a partial coincidence is obtained. Here, the value of a in a% is arbitrary, but is set to 70%, for example.

  Thereby, the operator of the terminal 10 (for example, the inspector who performs the inspection) can know whether the display is the complete match, the partial match or the mismatch by the display on the monitor 50 and the sound from the speaker 60.

  It should be noted that the program storage unit 32 that stores the monitor 50, the speaker 60, and a program for operating them when outputting the degree of coincidence functions as “an output unit that outputs a determination result by the determination unit”.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the ID stored in the DICOM detection examinee information storage unit 36 has the same ID as the barcode detection examinee information detected by reading the barcode (S70), If the same ID exists, the patient information corresponding to the ID in the DICOM detection patient information storage unit 36 is displayed on the monitor 50 (S71). The display of the examinee information is displayed on the monitor 50 together with a complete match, a partial match or a mismatch. That is, in the example shown in FIG. 12, the name, date of birth, and gender of the examinee are displayed as the examinee information along with the display of complete match, partial match, or mismatch. Note that the age calculated from the date of birth may be displayed instead of the date of birth.

  Then, the determination result is “complete match” and “examinee information display is present (that is, the barcode detection examinee information detected by reading the barcode in the ID stored in the DICOM detection examinee information storage unit 36) If the same ID exists ”, the inspection is executed (S15, S16). Even in this case, since the patient information is displayed on the monitor 50, the name displayed on the monitor 50 is pronounced to call the patient, and the age and appearance based on the displayed date of birth are displayed. It is desirable to confirm by comparing or comparing the displayed gender with the appearance of the examinee.

  On the other hand, “partially coincides” and “examinee information display is present (that is, the ID stored in the DICOM detection examinee information storage unit 36 is the same as the barcode detection examinee information detected by reading the barcode). If the ID is present), it is confirmed whether or not the person is the subject by visual inspection to the examinee and a question to the examinee (S18), and if the identity is confirmed, the examination is performed ( S19, S16). Here, regarding the visual inspection of the examinee, since the date of birth and gender are displayed on the monitor 50 in step S71, it can be clearly seen that the person is not the person himself / herself by looking at the examinee. For example, when the appearance of the examinee is clearly different from the age based on the date of birth, or when the appearance of the examinee is clearly different from the gender displayed on the monitor 50, it can be known that the person is not the person. Further, as a question to the examinee, the name is displayed on the monitor 50, and the question is “Is it Mr. XX?” To confirm with the person himself / herself. In other words, in step S17, there is a partial match, but this is because detection accuracy may not necessarily be high because the image detection patient information is detected by optical character recognition (OCR). Since the information on the examinee is displayed (that is, the name exists in the DICOM data), the person is confirmed by performing the confirmation work on the assumption that there is a certain level of reliability.

  On the other hand, when it is not “exact match” and “with patient information” or “partial match” and “with patient information”, that is, when there is a mismatch or there is no patient information In this case, the examination content is reconfirmed without conducting examination for the examinee (S20). As a reconfirmation method, for example, when the name is displayed on the monitor 50 by asking the name of the examinee and confirming whether the name is the same as the name displayed on the console monitor 114, If there is no method for confirming whether the name is the same as the name heard from the examinee, or if there is no examinee information in the first place, the conversion accuracy of the capture unit 82 may not necessarily be high. Since it is also considered that it is not a subject of examination (for example, examination by CT), the examination contents for the examinee are reconfirmed.

  According to the examiner confirmation apparatus 5 of the present embodiment, the hub 90 is connected between the RIS server 106 and the CT console 112 (that is, connected between the hospital system body and the modality apparatus), and image distribution is performed. By connecting the device 80 between the CT console 112 and the console monitor 114 (ie, connecting between the console and the monitor in the modality device), the patient is identified and the misidentification of the patient is prevented. In addition, since it is possible to display examinee information, it is necessary to provide a server (HIS server 104 or RIS server 106, in particular, RIS server 106) in the medical information system 100 with a function for identifying the examinee. In addition, the server does not need to have a function of displaying the patient information, and an existing medical information system is not required. It may comprise a directly testee identification function using, thereby, it is possible to perform the identification of the examinee at a low cost.

  In addition, according to the examiner confirmation device 5 of the present embodiment, not only the barcode detection examinee information and the image detection examinee information are collated and the coincidence is output, but also the examinee information is detected from the DICOM data. Since it is displayed on the monitor 50, the identity verification can be facilitated.

  In the above description, the hub 90 is a repeater hub. However, the hub 90 may be another hub device, for example, a switching hub that can mirror an input signal to a specific port to another port. It may be. That is, for the switching hub having the mirror output function as described above, an input signal to the port to which the connection cable from the RIS server 106 is connected and an input signal to the port to which the connection cable from the CT console 112 is connected. Is set so as to output a mirror to the port to which the connection cable from the communication unit 22 is connected, the communication data between the RIS server 106 and the CT console 112 can be sent to the communication unit 22.

  In the above description, the capture unit 82 is provided and the image signal is converted into digital image data and input to the terminal 10. However, the image signal is directly input to the terminal 10. 10, the image signal may be converted into digital image data at the barcode reading timing by the barcode reader 70, and the examinee ID may be detected from the converted digital image data. In this case, a program for converting the image signal into digital image data is provided in the program storage unit 32, and the CPU 40 operates according to the program. That is, the function of the capture unit 82 is performed by the program stored in the program storage unit 32 and the CPU 40 operating according to the program. In this case, “conversion means for converting the image signal acquired by the image signal acquisition means into digital image data” or “first patient ID detection for detecting the patient ID based on the image signal acquired by the image signal acquisition means” The “means” will be provided in the terminal 10.

  In the above description, the case where the modality apparatus 110 is a CT apparatus has been described as an example. However, other modality apparatuses may be used, for example, an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) apparatus, an X-ray TV apparatus, a mammography, an ultrasonic wave. An inspection device or the like may be used.

  In the case of an MRI apparatus, it is composed of a gantry (inspection equipment) and a bed (inspection equipment), a console (inspection equipment control device) for controlling the operation of the gantry and the bed, and a monitor. A distributor 80 is connected, and a hub 90 is connected between the console and the RIS server 106.

  Further, in the case of an X-ray TV apparatus, an X-ray TV apparatus (inspection equipment) and a bed (inspection equipment), a console (inspection equipment control apparatus) for controlling the operation of the X-ray TV apparatus and bed, and a monitor An image distributor 80 is connected between the console and the monitor, and a hub 90 is connected between the console and the RIS server 106.

  In the case of mammography, a mammography apparatus (inspection apparatus), a console (inspection apparatus control apparatus) for controlling the operation of the mammography apparatus, and a monitor are connected, and an image distributor 80 is connected between the console and the monitor. Then, the hub 90 is connected between the console and the RIS server 106.

  In the case of an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, the apparatus is composed of an apparatus main body (inspection apparatus) to which a probe is connected, a console (inspection apparatus control apparatus) for controlling the operation of the apparatus main body, and a monitor. An image distributor 80 is connected between the monitors, and a hub 90 is connected between the console and the RIS server 106.

  In the above description, the barcode displayed on the wristband 72 (information held in the information holding means given to the examinee) is read by the barcode reader 70, and the examinee ID is detected from the read barcode. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The information held in the information holding means given to the examinee or the read information which is the biological information of the examinee is read by the reading device (reading means) and read. Any other configuration may be used as long as it detects the examinee ID from the read information.

  For example, instead of the wristband 72, information held in the barcode may be read by the barcode reader 70 using a paper form on which a barcode is printed and displayed. In this case, the form becomes “information holding means given to the examinee” or “barcode display body displaying barcode as reading information”, and the barcode displayed on the form becomes “to the examinee” The information held in the given information holding means, that is, read information.

  In addition, an RFID tag embedded with ID information using RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) (this RF tag corresponds to “information holding means given to the examinee”), and the ID information is “held in the information holding means.
