Radiology may diagnose medical conditions by reading medical images. Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen discovered X-rays and named it X-radiation, which is still used in the field of radiology. The radiology department can diagnose and treat diseases by acquiring medical images of body parts captured by electromagnetic fields, ultrasounds, etc. as well as X-rays. The main task of radiology may be to diagnose using imaging equipment, or to directly diagnose or treat patients. The Department of Radiology may need to know the diseases of all the departments and even the diagnosis and treatment of them, and the medical imaging equipment needs advanced medical equipment to know the relationship between the principles and the diseases. have.

The medical image capturing apparatus may acquire a radiographic image of a patient by a photographing prescription of a medical doctor. In this case, the medical imaging apparatus may display one side information of the patient photographing part based on the photographing prescription on the screen of the radiographic apparatus. In this case, the unilateral information may be set by the medical image capturing apparatus by analyzing the photographing prescription, or may be set by the user of the radiographic apparatus by inputting the unilateral information. The medical image capturing apparatus compares the unilateral information displayed on the screen with the unilateral information of the photographing prescription.If the two lateral information is matched, the medical image acquisition apparatus may display the unilateral information matching state on the screen. Can be. If inconsistency of the unilateral information is displayed on the radiographic apparatus, the user of the radiographic apparatus may correct the lateral information. In addition, the user of the radiographic apparatus may visually check the photographing part of the patient in a state where the unilateral information is matched. If the imaging part of the patient is wrong, the imaging position of the patient may be corrected. When the medical image acquisition apparatus acquires the medical image of the patient, the unilateral information displayed on the screen and the lateral information of the photographing prescription are checked, and the unilateral information displayed on the screen and the photographed part of the patient are visually checked. It can be prevented from occurring.

The medical examination apparatus of the imaging medicine department may read the acquired medical image and generate a reading result. The medical examination apparatus may receive a radiographic medical image corresponding to the medical information stored in the medical image information apparatus. The medical examination apparatus may compare and analyze the unilateral information of the reading report and the lateral information of the medical image.If the two lateral information is matched, the medical examination apparatus compares and analyzes the unilateral information of the reading report and the lateral information of the radiographic name to confirm whether the unilateral information is consistent. Can be. That is, the doctor of the imaging medicine department may compare and analyze the unilateral information of the medical image, the read report, and the radiographic name, and proceed with the reading of the medical image when all the unilateral information match. In addition, if the unilateral information of the medical image, the reading report and / or the radiographic name is inconsistent, the physician of the radiology department corrects the unilateral information if the unilateral error is correctable (e.g., simple information on the single side of the reading report or the radiation report). And proceed with the reading of the medical image. However, in the case of an uncorrectable unilateral error state (for example, when the imaging of the medical image is wrong), the doctor of the imaging medicine may input the error correction state into the medical examination device and prescribe retake of the medical image.
