Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a process for copying information recorded on a certain type of recording medium to another type of recording medium, and more particularly, to a method for once copying information from a plurality of portable recording media into a computer. This relates to a process of copying information to another portable recording medium after storing the information in a hard disk.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art With the recent development of computers, computerization has become widespread in the medical field. This trend is also rapid in the field of image diagnosis, and the spread of various CT, ultrasonic diagnostic equipment, diagnostic equipment using radioisotopes, and the like is remarkable. In addition, X-ray photography using a solid-state imaging device or the like has been developed, and X-ray digital image reading and photography using a computer has also started gradually for X-ray images.

[0003] The mass screening system is no exception. Conventionally, 10cm x 1
A chest image of about 0 cm is photographed using an indirect X-ray photographing apparatus, and a radiographer magnifies the roll film with a lens and sequentially reads the image using an electric frame feeder.

[0004] The wave of digitization has gradually started also in this group examination, and in the interpretation performed by a doctor, the interpretation using a monitor has gradually started.

[0005] However, in a group examination, particularly in a group examination system equipped with a bus, the photographed image is once written on a portable recording medium, brought back to the examination center, and diagnosed.

[0006]

According to the present technology, a CD-R having a low bit rate as a portable medium has a low writing speed, and it takes too much time to perform writing in a bus at a medical examination business. There is a problem.

[0007] In the case of performing a high-speed diagnosis using an image, there is also a problem that the reading speed is slow to read from a portable recording medium.

[0008] Further, in the case of such a medical examination, it is required that data be copied from a recording medium to a recording medium, and after the duplication, the original data be deleted without fail.

The present invention has been made under such circumstances, and an information processing system capable of easily and reliably performing duplication between recording media having different maximum recording capacities (also referred to as media sizes). An object of the present invention is to provide an information processing method.

[0010]

For the reasons described above, once input to a MO, which is a high-speed magneto-optical disk, in a bus at a screening service, the CD-ROM is read at a screening center.
It is necessary to copy information to R. However, MO and C
The maximum recording capacity of information is different from that of DR. For example, an MO has a capacity of 640 MB, while a CD-R has a capacity of about 50 MB.
Only about 0 MB can be recorded.

On the other hand, when a doctor interprets an image, it is necessary to read the image.
Reading from the hard disk in the diagnostic system, which can be read at a higher speed than reading from the MO, can be used for displaying and diagnosing images at a higher speed.

Therefore, it is necessary to copy the information of the MO once to the internal hard disk and further copy it to the CD-R. At this time, classification is performed in advance so that the capacity of the internal hard disk is exactly the same as the capacity of the CD-R.

Diagnosis is performed while reading the images in the hard disk, and a copy permission flag is set for the classified folder in the internal hard disk by using as a key that all diagnoses have been completed using the images in the classified folder. Set. Classification folders for which the copy permission flag is set
Copying to CD-R is performed according to the copy instruction. In addition, a duplicated flag indicating that the duplication of each category folder has been completed is set.

Here, when erasing the contents of the original MO,
A more reliable erasing method is to erase the original MO if data in the hard disk corresponding to the original data in the MO has a duplicated flag. There is also a means for automatically deleting a copy flag. In this case, the MO is erased only when the copy completion flag is set in the copy source MO.

Further, each data in the hard disk is divided for each predetermined period with a date offset by a predetermined month and date from its latest creation date as a reference date, and is displayed on a monitor at a position corresponding to each period. .

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to an example of a mass screening system. The present invention is not limited to the form of the system, but can be implemented in the form of a method supported by the description of the embodiment.

[0041]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a "group screening system".
It is a figure showing the concept of. The entire workflow of this system is as follows. An operator writes photographed image data to a magneto-optical disk (hereinafter referred to as MO) 2 attached to a photographing device, and performs diagnostic WS
(Workstation) 3

That is, the diagnostic WS 3 uses the accompanying MO reading device 2 to transfer the photographed image data in the MO 1 to an internal HD (hard disk: corresponding to a non-volatile storage means in the claims).
Duplicate to In order to compare the image data to be examined, the previous image data, which has already been recorded on the CD-R 8, is read from the accompanying CD-R reading device 5. Then, the previous captured image data is copied to the internal HD4. This time, after storing the previously taken image data in the internal HD 4 using the diagnostic WS 3, the current image and the previous image of the present examinee are matched and connected, and the operator, for example, a doctor, etc. In WS3, the current image and the previous image are simultaneously displayed to perform monitor diagnosis. When the diagnosis is completed, the internal HD4
By writing this image accumulated on the CD-R9,
The entire workflow ends.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of copying image data. In this embodiment, the examination bus is composed of Canon and Hi.
The medical checkup service has been carried out to Tachi, two MOs for Canon and one MO for Hitachi.
The image is recorded in. Two images are taken by each subject, and one set of two images forms one data set. M
The first sheet of O includes “199” which is a part of the Canon data.
There is a folder that can hold a plurality of data sets called a set folder having a name of “80701-Canon-1”. This folder has 640 data sets. In the second MO, there is a set folder having a name of "199980701-Canon-2" which is a part of the Canon data, and this set folder also has 640 data sets. In addition, MO
On the third sheet, Hitachi Data "199980703-H"
There is a set folder "itachi-1", and there are 400 data sets in this set folder. Each data set has a data capacity of 1 MB, and since MO data is up to 640 MB, Canon data is 640 MB.
This is because there is a data set of Now, this MO is sequentially read by the MO reader 2 into the internal HD of the diagnostic WS 3.
4 is performed.

The HD 4 has a maximum capacity of a CD so that the copied data can be easily copied again to a CD-R.
A folder called a classification folder limited to the maximum storage capacity of -R or less is generated. The WS3 for diagnosis uniquely sets the name of this classification folder. In this embodiment, the sequential number is assigned after the letter D. In this embodiment, the maximum capacity of the classification folder is determined to be equal to or less than the maximum storage capacity of the CD-R, and is 500 MB. In the present embodiment, the “1998” recorded in the MO
0701-Canon-1 "," 199080701-C
The set folder of “anon-2” is divided into three classification folders “D1231”, “D1232”, and “D1233”, and the respective classification folders have different names “199980701-Canon-1” and “19”.
980701-Canon-2 "," 198080701
A set folder called “-Canon-3” is generated, and “Examination 0” is set in “198070-Canon-1”.
001 ”to“ Inspection 0500 ”
“198080701-Canon-2” contains “Test 05
01 "to" Inspection 1000 "
"199080701-Canon-3" contains "Inspection 10
Data sets from “01” to “test 1300” are duplicated. Further, the "19980" recorded in the MO
In the set folder of “701-Hitachi-1”, since the classification folder “D1233” has about 220 Mbytes, 220 data sets are first copied to the classification folder “D1233”, and the remaining data sets are the same. A classification folder “D1234” is newly generated by any method and recorded here.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the above-described data duplication process. For the sake of simplicity, the description will be made assuming that the copy of MOl ends and the copy of MO2 starts.
In the New folder, the contents of MOl are already duplicated in D1231 and FullFlag is set, and the contents of MOl are already stored in D1232 as "Examination 6".
50 ". However, since D1232 does not hold data up to the maximum capacity, FullFlag
Is not set. By the way, FullFlag is
In this embodiment, Full1. dat is determined based on whether there is an empty file. A DiagnosisFlag (corresponding to the duplication permission flag in the claims) indicating that diagnosis has been completed is stored in Diag. dat,
CD-Written indicating that it has been copied to CD-R
Flag (corresponding to the second duplicated flag in the claims)
Is described in Written. The decision is made with or without dat.

In step 301 (referred to as S301 in the figure, the same applies hereinafter), as a result of the search in the MO disk, DATE = 19998001 NAME = Canon NUM = 2, and as a result of the search of the HD New folder, n_end = 1232 Become.

In step 302, when all the classification folders in the New folder, that is, the set folders in the form of “DATE-NAME-num” in D1231 and D1232, in this case, the set folders starting with “199980701-Canon” are checked. The one with the largest value of num is 2. That is, n_name = 2.

In step 303, classification folder D
n_end, that is, D1232 is searched from the New folder. Since D1232 exists, it is searched. By the way, assuming here that there is no classification folder on the hard disk, step 301 sets the n_end value to 0000, so that D0000 is searched, and in step 304, D000l is newly created. .

In step 305, the classification folder D
1232 is FullFlag or Diagnostics
Since isFlag is not set, a folder of “DATE-NAME-n_name” in the D1232 folder, here “199980701-Canon-
2 "folder. In D1232, the search succeeds because there is a folder with this name created when copying from the MOl.

At step 307, "1" in MO2
The size of the inspection folder, which is the data set inside the 9980701-Canon-2, is changed from the youngest inspection number to the classification folder "1980701-Camon-2" in the "D1232" folder in the New folder in the HD4. Is duplicated to 500 MB. Therefore, “test 651” to “test 1000” are stored in the classification folder “D1232”.

At step 308, the copy source MO
Since the test folder group, which is the data set inside “199080701-Canon-2” in No. 2 cannot be duplicated, the process proceeds to NO.

In step 309, since the classification folder "D1232" holds the data up to the maximum capacity, FullFlag is set.

At step 310, the copy source MO
As the non-copy inspection of “1980701-Canon2” in No. 2, “inspection 1001” to “inspection 1300”
Therefore, the duplication operation is started again for the target.

Returning to step 304, since n_end holds the value of 1232, 1 is added to newly create a classification folder "D1233". Also, n_nam
Since e holds a value of 2, 1 is added, a new set folder “199980701-Canon-3” is created, and the process returns to step 307.

When all copying from the MO is completed,
If the destination folder is just full,
The duplication of the next MO is performed in step 305 by using FullF
Since the lag has been set, step 30
Move to the work of 4.

The C thus moved to the New folder
Anon's image for 1300 inspections and Hitachi's 4
When the images of the 00 examinations have been read for all examinations, the Diagnostics F is stored in each classification folder.
Set lag. The system behavior at the time of diagnosis will be described in more detail below, but the completion of diagnosis is regarded as the completion of image interpretation due to the presence of this setting.

When the diagnosis is completed, the operator instructs
The system searches for a classification folder in the New folder, and copies the distribution folder in which the Diagnostic Flag is set to CD-R media. At this time, the classification folder has a capacity of 50 to allow for CD-R media.
Since it is 0 MB, it can be copied in units of classification folders, so it is important that the problem that copying cannot be completed does not occur. When the duplication is completed, a CD-WriteFlag is set in the classification folder.

In FIG. 3, when the duplication is completed in step 311, “19998070” in the source MO 2 is copied.
In step 1-Canon-2, a copied flag (corresponding to a first duplicated flag in the claims) is set, and the process ends.

The information recorded on the copy source MO1 is recorded only when the information is reliably recorded on the CD-R7.
It is important to provide a means for erasing the recorded content of No. 1. If this is not done, there is a possibility that the user will accidentally delete the image data without copying it to the diagnostic WS3.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a process for preventing data from being accidentally erased from the MO.
Here, in order to simplify the description, an example will be described in which MO1 in FIG. 2 is deleted.

In step 401, when a folder on the MO1 disk is searched, 19980701-Can
on-1 is searched.

In step 402, the search target is N
This is a folder that starts with 19980701-Canon inside the ew folder. This folder is D1231,
Since these files exist in D1232 and D1233, it is checked whether the CD-Write flag is set for these three set folders.

In step 403, 198070
If no folder starting with 1-Canon is found, it is because the automatic deletion function described later has been activated, and the process proceeds to step 405.

In step 404, 199807
The process proceeds when there is a folder starting with 01-Canon, and proceeds to step 406 if all the CD-Writen flags are set. CD-Written
If the flag is not set, since the CD has not been written yet, the user is first informed that the data is to be copied to the CD-R, and the MO disk is not erased.

In step 405, step 40
Make important checks when you come from 3. That is, when the automatic deletion function that automatically deletes the recording medium when the capacity of the recording medium is insufficient, the copy source data is not found in the New folder, so that the setting of the CopiedFlag in the set folder of the copy source MO is set. To check.
If this setting has not been made, the data in the MO disk is new inspection data because the data duplication work has not yet been performed on the diagnostic WS 3, and the data in the disk will not be erased. In step 406,
Erase the data in the MO disk.

In this manner, data on the MO disk can be safely erased.

Using the above-described data duplication method, new data is transferred from the MO to the New folder, and old data is stored on the CD-ROM.
R copies to 01d folder.

The present diagnostic system is characterized in that an image taken this time is displayed on a monitor simultaneously with a past image and a comparative diagnosis is made. Therefore, the examination of the same examinee as the examinee examined this time is searched from the past examination. This method uses the same ID as the examinee ID of all test data.
This is completed by searching for past inspection data having D. For example, in the present embodiment, the system refers to the previous test data and the test data before and after the previous test as two data as the past data for the current test data. As a result of the search,
In some cases, 0 patients were found, 1 patient was found, and 2 patients were found. this is,
This is because there may be cases where the same examinee has not always been tested.

In the case where such a case exists,
If the current examination image and the most recent examination image of the past are displayed side by side on the monitor of the diagnostic WS3 uniformly, the interpreting physician sees the previous data as a comparison, or 2 It becomes impossible to judge instantly whether the user is looking at the previous data.

For example, assuming that the current test was performed in 1998 and the previous test was performed in 1997, the examinees who have performed both tests are shown in FIG.
Although it can be displayed, if a participant does not have a 97-year test, for example, a 96-year test image will be displayed on the right side. If this is a busy reference, the doctor mistakenly performs comparative reading as the previous examination. Therefore, it is necessary to specify the number of previous data.

In this embodiment, it is noted that the inspection is performed relatively regularly, and it is characterized by setting the range to determine how many times the past image is the old inspection. The description is given below. Here, the ordinal number indicating how many times the previous test was performed is called a test ordinal number, and if it is 1, it is assumed that the test was performed one time before.

FIG. 5 shows the concept of determining the test ordinal number.

In this embodiment, it is assumed that this inspection was performed on July 10, 1998. At this time, if 6 months are specified as the number of offset days and the inspection period is specified as 12 months, the inspection is performed before January 10, 1998,
Tests after January 10, 1997 as test ordinal 1 and tests before January 10, 1997, and tests after January 10, 1997 as test ordinal 2, up to a pre-specified maximum ordinal number Inspect.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the process of determining the ordinal number of the test. Here, first, in the present embodiment, the past image in the Old folder is associated with the current image as shown in FIG. 2, and the current examination and the previous examination group are associated with each other. I have.

Therefore, it is necessary to set the test ordinal number for each test group up to the previous test. Therefore, first, the flow chart in FIG. 6 is passed through the first inspection group among the previous inspection groups.

First, a base inspection date is set. In this case, as shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, it is assumed that the inspection is performed only on the set folder related to Canon of all the classified folders in the New folder.

At this time, the base inspection date is July 1, 1998 based on the set folder name. However, Cano
If the inspection for n is separated for several days, two types of base inspection dates can be specified in this embodiment. One is a case where the inspection date with the largest number of tests related to Canon is set as the base test date, and the other is a case where the oldest test date in the tests related to Canon is set as the base test date. The base inspection date is set before entering the flowchart.

Next, Offset is specified and N = 0.

Next, the inspection period Y is set. Then, go back from the base inspection date (N × Y + offset)
A check is made according to whether it is earlier than the month and after (N + 1) × Y + offset month.

In the meantime, if the current examination is present, the result is TRUE, N is an ordinal number for this examination, and the examination is N times old.

If not TRUE, the loop proceeds until N reaches the maximum value. In practice, the maximum value is set to an unrealistic value such as 999.

As described above, the test ordinal numbers are set for all the past test groups of a specific examinee. This setting may be performed immediately before an image of a certain examinee is displayed on the monitor, or may be performed for all current examinations before the examination is started.

When the test ordinal numbers are set for all the past test groups of a specific examinee as described above, a characteristic display can be performed in the display of the test image.

That is, conventionally, for example, this time, 1998,
Assuming that the previous test was 97, the testees who performed both tests can be displayed as shown in FIG. 7, but if some testees do not have the 97-year test, the 96-year test The image is displayed. If this is a busy reference, the doctor mistakenly performs comparative reading as an examination every time.

However, since the test ordinal number can be set in the above description, if the test ordinal numbers are set for all the past test groups of the specific examinee as described above, the test image display , A characteristic display can be performed.

FIG. 8 shows an example. It is assumed that the test performed by the examinee, Osamu Tsujii, was examined in 1998, 1996, 1995, and 1992. At this time, FIG.
In the example on the left side of, the monitor area is divided into two on the left and right,
Use for 8 years and the right side for 97 years. At this time, 9
Since no image was received in seven years, "no image" is displayed in 1997. As a result, the doctor can correctly understand that no imaging was performed in 1997. However, since this examinee has a further past image, a "non-displayed image presence mark" is shown at the upper right of the monitor.

When the user gives an instruction to switch the image display method from the keyboard, the image is displayed as shown on the right side of FIG. According to this display method, the oldest and most recent inspection is inserted in a portion where “no image” is displayed in the above description.
That is, in this example, a 96-year inspection image is entered. At this time, it is necessary for the doctor to display “96” in large characters so that the image is not mistaken for the image of 1997.

The same description can be made for FIG. In this example, the monitor is divided into four parts, and the image of the examinee is displayed in two modes.

It should be noted that there is no problem even if the monitor surface is divided into a plurality of monitors.

As described above, according to the present embodiment,
MO with high bit unit price can be converted to CD with low bit unit price
−R.

Further, the stored image is read out and diagnosed, so that it can be once arranged on a hard disk in the system and then copied to a CD-R.

Further, since the copy permission flag is set for the classified folder for which the diagnosis has been completed, only the classified folder in the hard disk is classified and arranged in the CD.
-R.

Further, the classification folder written on the CD-R is set with the duplicated flag when the writing is completed, so that the same data is not written on the CD-R again.

Further, the data can be reliably copied from the MO to the CD-R, and the copied MO data can be deleted after the data has been copied. This makes it possible to operate a medical examination system that protects the data.
