When performing an inspection, first, order registration is performed in the RIS terminal 2, and imaging order information for instructing inspection contents is generated. Hereinafter, the order registration process executed in the RIS terminal 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the order registration process shown in FIG. 6, first, an order registration screen as shown in FIG. 7 is displayed on the display unit 23 (step S1). As shown in FIG. 7, on the order registration screen d1, the files prepared for each patient are already generated and stored in the file area d11 shown in the directory hierarchy and the patient file selected in the file area d11. A list area d12 indicating a list of imaging order information that is present, and an input area d13 for inputting inspection information designation information are displayed. The input area d13 includes an input area for patient information such as a patient ID, name, sex, and age of a patient to be imaged, and an input area for imaging information such as an imaging date, modality, and imaging part. In addition, a schema menu d14 is displayed in the input area d13, and a schema can be selected for each part by a pull-down menu displayed by clicking the schema menu d14.

  In the order registration screen d1, the operator first selects or newly creates a patient file to be imaged in the file area d11, and then in the input area d13, in the instruction sheet submitted by the doctor for the current examination. Based on this, patient information, imaging date, and modality information are input to the input area d13 via the operation unit 22. Thereafter, information on the imaging region and the imaging direction is input. When inputting the information, first, a desired imaging region is selected from the pull-down menu displayed by clicking the schema menu d14.

  In the RIS terminal 2, when patient information is first input to the input area d13, the input patient information is stored in the order file 261 (step S2). Next, when any imaging region is selected from the schema menu d14, a schema dialog screen (see FIG. 8) for selecting a schema corresponding to the imaging region is displayed on the display unit 23 (step S3).

  As shown in FIG. 8, on the schema dialog screen d2, a schema menu area d21 and a schema area d22 are displayed. In this schema dialog screen d2, selection candidates for each imaging region are displayed in the schema menu region d21, and schema candidates corresponding to the selected imaging region among the selection candidates are displayed in the schema region d22.

  The operator selects a schema corresponding to the imaging region and imaging direction requested by the doctor on the schema dialog screen d2. For example, when “chest” is selected as an imaging region, the RIS terminal 2 displays “chest front (internal)” indicating that the internal organs of the chest are imaged from the front, and “chest side ( ) ”,“ Chest front (bone) ”indicating that the bone portion in the chest is photographed from the front, and“ chest side (bone) ”indicating that the bone is photographed from the side are displayed. The operator selects a schema candidate corresponding to the imaging region and imaging direction requested by the doctor from these schema candidates.

  In the RIS terminal 2, when any schema is selected on the schema dialog screen d2, the screen is switched from the schema dialog screen d2 to the order registration screen d1. Then, the character information of the selected schema and the examination content set in the schema is acquired from the schema file 262, and the acquired schema is displayed in the input area d13 of the order registration screen d1 and is also acquired. The character information is automatically input and displayed in the items of imaging region and imaging direction (step S4).

  Here, when the schema edit key d15 is pressed and an instruction to edit the schema is given, a schema edit screen (not shown) is displayed. On this schema editing screen, a tool icon for adding a character or a figure indicating a comment regarding the region of interest or the shooting direction or applying a color indicating the importance of the shooting order information is displayed. When the operator operates the tool icon via the operation unit 22, the RIS terminal 2 adds a graphic such as a character or an arrow to the schema according to the operation of the tool icon, and performs schema editing processing (step) S5).

For example, in the case of a “chest lateral (sternal)” schema, as shown in FIG. 9A, an arrow or a character (“right” or “left”) indicating which direction is taken from the right or left side of the patient It is good also as adding. Further, as shown in FIG. 9B, an arrow or a circular figure indicating the region of interest for interpretation may be added.

  Furthermore, a frame indicating the importance of inspection may be added to the schema. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, a red frame is used for a high importance inspection, a yellow frame is used for a medium importance inspection, and a colorless frame is used for a low importance inspection. Append to

  When the order registration key d16 for approving the registration of the imaging order information is pressed after the schema editing is finished, the RIS terminal 2 issues an order ID and is input in the input area d13 in association with the order ID. Character information is stored in the order file 261 as shooting order information, and order registration is performed. At the same time, the schema selected in association with the imaging order information is stored in the order file 261, and the schema is added to the imaging order information registered in the order (step S6). Then, when the imaging order information to which the schema is added is distributed to the modality 10 (step S7), this process is terminated.

  When the imaging order information is distributed to the modality 10 by the RIS terminal 2, the examination instruction information is displayed on the display unit based on the imaging order information in the modality 10, and when the examination instruction information is displayed, the imaging order is displayed. The schema added to the information is also displayed. Then, imaging is performed in accordance with the displayed instruction information, and medical image data generated by imaging is transmitted to the server 20. At this time, radiographing order information, series information, image-related information, and the like are attached to the medical image as information related to the image by being written in the header area of the medical image data, and transmitted to the server 20 together with the medical image. In the server 20, the medical image data is stored in the NAS 30, and the medical image is made into a database based on the accompanying information (imaging order information, series information, image related information) of the medical image, and its input / output is managed. The

  Next, interpretation processing executed in the interpretation terminal 40 and the server 20 when a medical image stored in the NAS 30 is interpreted via the interpretation terminal 40 and a report is created will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the image interpretation process shown in FIG. 11, first, authentication information such as a password is input by the image interpretation doctor at the image interpretation terminal 40, and when a login operation is performed (step S101), the authentication information is transmitted to the server 20. In the server 20, the authentication information received from the interpretation terminal 40 and the authentication information of each interpretation doctor registered in advance in the server 20 are collated to perform login authentication (step S102).

  When the login authentication is performed, the server 20 generates interpretation list information in which the certified interpretation doctor lists the patients to be interpreted. This interpretation list information is generated based on supplementary information (medical order information to which a schema is added, series information, image related information, etc.) of a medical image of a patient to be interpreted, and is a patient ID of a patient to be interpreted. Information related to the examination such as the patient name, the order ID of the current examination for the patient, and a schema indicating the contents of the examination are included. The generated interpretation list information is transmitted to the interpretation terminal 40 (step S103).

In the image interpretation terminal 40, when image interpretation list information is acquired from the server 20, an image interpretation list screen is generated based on the image interpretation list information and displayed on the display unit 43 (step S104).
FIG. 12 shows an example of an interpretation list screen.
As shown in FIG. 12, on the interpretation list screen d3, the name of the patient who has undergone the examination, the order ID of the examination, the report creation state, and the schema indicating the examination content are listed and displayed for each patient. As the schema, the schema registered at the time of order registration is displayed, and when edited, the edited schema is displayed. The interpretation doctor can confirm the patient and the examination content on the interpretation list screen d3 and select the patient to be interpreted.

  When a patient to be interpreted is selected on the interpretation list screen d3, the interpretation terminal 40 accesses the NAS 30 and acquires medical images and past report information about the selected patient (step S105). Then, an interpretation screen (not shown) in which the acquired medical image and past report information are arranged in a predetermined format is generated and displayed on the display unit 43 (step S106). On the image interpretation screen, the image interpretation doctor can make a diagnosis by referring to the medical image and past report information.

  Next, it is determined whether or not interpretation has been completed and a report creation instruction operation has been performed (step S107). If the report creation instruction operation has not been performed and interpretation has not been completed (step S107; N), step S107 is performed. Returning to the process of S105, the display of the interpretation screen is continued. On the other hand, when the report creation instruction operation is performed and the interpretation is finished (step S107; Y), a report creation screen is generated and displayed using the schema attached to the radiographed medical image and attached to the radiographing order information. It is displayed on the part 43 (step S108).

FIG. 13 shows an example of a report creation screen.
As shown in FIG. 13, on the report creation screen d4, the name and patient ID of the patient who performed the interpretation, the date of this examination (imaging date), the order ID, the name of the doctor who performed the interpretation, and the date of the report creation Are displayed as report information d41 related to the report. The name of the doctor who has logged in is displayed as the name of the doctor who performed the interpretation. Under the report information d41, an input area d42 for request contents from the patient, an input area d43 for findings indicating interpretation results, an input area d44 for summary of interpretation results, and a memo input area d45 are displayed. In the input area d43 for findings, a schema d46 added to the photographing order information is displayed, and icons d47 of various editing tools that can edit the schema d46 are displayed.

  Based on the result of the interpretation, the interpreting physician can input information into each of the input areas d42 to d45 of the report creation screen d4 to create a report. Further, the editing tool icon d47 can be operated to add a figure such as a character, line, or circle to the schema d46, or the color or line thickness can be changed for editing the report.

  In the interpretation terminal 40, report information is generated based on the information input to the input areas d42 to d45 on the report creation screen d4. The generated report information is transmitted to the server 20 (step S109).

  In the server 20, when report information is received from the image interpretation terminal 40, the report information is transferred to and stored in the NAS 30, and information related to the report is registered in the database (step S110), and this process is terminated.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, a schema indicating the contents of inspection is registered at the time of order registration for inspection. When the information related to the examination is displayed based on the imaging order information at the time of subsequent examination imaging and interpretation, the schema is also displayed, so that the examination contents such as the imaging region and the imaging direction can be pattern-recognized by the schema. When characterizing the inspection content, it may take time to grasp the content from the character information, or the inspection content may be erroneously recognized by similar characters. Therefore, it is easy to grasp the inspection contents visually by pattern recognition, and it is possible to reduce the burden on the confirmation work of the inspection contents at the time of photographing and interpretation. In particular, at the time of interpretation, it is possible to easily confirm whether or not the registered contents of the order and the captured contents of the actual examination match with each other by using a schema, and misdiagnosis can be prevented.

  In addition, since the report creation screen is displayed using the schema added to the shooting order information, the schema can be used effectively, and the schema suitable for report creation can be easily called, and the processing at the time of report creation Time can be shortened.

  In addition, since the schema can be edited, the detailed part of the inspection content, such as adding an arrow indicating the shooting direction, adding characters, etc., can be illustrated or edited to make it easier to grasp the inspection content. Can do.

  In addition, the character information indicating the imaging region and the imaging direction indicated by the schema is stored in association with the schema. When the schema is added, the character information of the examination content corresponding to the selected schema is automatically stored. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the burden of operator input work at the time of order registration and to prevent erroneous input.

  In the present embodiment, an example of a schema indicating an imaging region, an imaging direction, an importance level, and the like is shown as the examination content. However, a schema indicating a modality may be further registered. In this case, for example, the modalities may be shown by using a schema shown in a cross-sectional view, imitating an image obtained by imaging with a CT apparatus, and the appearance of each modality such as a CT apparatus, a CR apparatus, etc. is illustrated. A schema may be used.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the operator selects a schema corresponding to the examination content from the schema dialog screen in the RIS terminal 2, and the RIS terminal 2 uses the characters of the examination content such as the imaging region and the imaging direction corresponding to the selected schema. The information is automatically registered in the order file 261. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the operator inputs character information indicating examination contents such as an imaging part and an imaging direction, and corresponds to the character information input on the RIS terminal 2 side. The schema to be automatically selected from the schema file 262 may be registered in the order file 261.

  Further, the schema dialog screen d2 is configured such that a schema can be selected for each imaging region. However, frequently used schema candidates are registered for each user and the schema dialog screen d2 is displayed to the user. Corresponding schema candidates may be selectively displayed.
