The CPU 11 sequentially executes an operation according to the program code.
[0033]
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a medical image display process executed by the CPU 11 of the medical image display device 1. As shown in FIG. 3, when an instruction to display an interpretation list is input from the interpretation doctor via the input unit 12 (step S1), the CPU 11 causes the input of an interpretation doctor ID for identifying the interpretation doctor (step S1). S2). Next, the CPU 11 transmits the input interpretation doctor ID to the medical image DB (step S3), and receives the medical image and the imaging order information assigned to the corresponding interpretation doctor ID from the medical image DB 4 (step S4).
[0034]
Subsequently, the CPU 11 stores the received medical image and imaging order information in the storage device 16 (step S5). Further, the CPU 11 acquires the imaging order information and creates an image interpretation list based on the imaging order information (step S6). Here, the interpretation list is a list for displaying a list of medical images to be interpreted on that day assigned to the input interpretation doctor ID based on the patient information. The CPU 11 displays the created interpretation list on the display unit 13 in accordance with the order in which the medical images are to be interpreted, and displays the relevant information of the medical image corresponding to the patient information for the patient information displayed first ( Step S7).
[0035]
Here, the order to be interpreted is, for example, the order set by the administrator of the medical image in the order of the patients with the highest urgency, and these orders are assumed to be attached to the imaging order information in advance. The order in which the images are to be interpreted may be set arbitrarily by each interpreting physician. May be adopted. In addition, the related information of the medical image is, for example, imaging information included in the imaging order information, detailed information on the medical image such as a report state, the presence or absence of a past image, and the like.
[0036]
Subsequently, when an instruction to display a medical image has been input (step S8; YES), the CPU 11 acquires from the storage device 16 a medical image corresponding to the patient information displayed at the top of the interpretation list. Then, it is displayed on the display unit 13 (step S9). Further, when one patient information is selected from the image interpretation list via the input unit 12 and an instruction to display a medical image is input (step S8; YES), the CPU 11 corresponds to the selected patient information. The related information of the medical image is displayed, and the related information of the medical image currently displayed together with the patient information is deleted. Then, the CPU 11 acquires a medical image corresponding to the selected patient information from the storage device 16 and displays the medical image on the display unit 13 (step S9).
[0037]
Next, the doctor interprets the displayed medical image and inputs a report creation instruction via the input unit 12, and the CPU 11 creates a report based on the input instruction (step S10). Subsequently, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the creation of the report has been completed (step S11). When an instruction to end the creation of the report is input (step S11; YES), the CPU 11 determines that the interpretation has been completed. Then, the patient information for which the image reading has been completed is deleted from the image reading list, and the image reading list is updated (step S12).
[0038]
Further, the CPU 11 determines whether or not to display the next medical image (step S13). That is, the CPU 11 determines whether or not an unread medical image remains in the interpretation list. If an unread medical image remains in the interpretation list (step S13; YES), the CPU 11 proceeds to step S9. The next medical image is obtained from the storage device 16 and the medical image is displayed (step S9). When one patient information is selected from the interpretation list and a medical image display instruction is input (step S13; YES), the CPU 11 displays the relevant information of the medical image corresponding to the selected patient information. At the same time, the corresponding medical image is acquired from the storage device 16 and displayed on the display unit 13 (step S9). Then, the CPU 11 repeatedly executes the processing of steps S9 to S13 described above.
[0039]
On the other hand, when there are no unread medical images in the image reading list, or when an instruction to end the display of the medical image is input (step S13; NO), the CPU 11 ends the present medical image display process.
