Description

  The present invention relates to a medical image display apparatus and a medical image display method that enable protection of personal information included in medical image information.

  In general, in an organization such as a hospital, diagnosis is performed using medical imaging equipment such as an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus and an X-ray apparatus. Hospital services include patient reception, examination, diagnosis, accounting, and the like, and a hospital information system (HIS) is generally used to assist these operations. This hospital information system is connected to medical image equipment arranged in each examination room via a network, and can display the examination reservation status and the like on a terminal device provided in the medical image equipment.

  In medical imaging equipment, examination reservation information is acquired in advance from a hospital information system, etc. before examination, a reservation list is displayed on the terminal device, and information included in the reservation list, for example, examination site, procedure examination protocol, etc. Based on the above, we are trying to improve efficiency by preparing for inspections. Patient information is displayed in the reservation list in order to confirm the patient to be examined.

  By the way, patient information includes personal information such as the patient's name, gender, and age. When personal information is displayed on the terminal device without the patient's consent, the personal information is viewed by a third party other than the doctor. There is a possibility that it will be. Since the patient confirmation may be performed when the examination is performed, it is not preferable from the viewpoint of personal information protection to display the reservation list from the stage where the patient has not yet accepted.

In Patent Document 1, in order to prevent leakage of patient privacy information, when performing linked diagnosis using a network, the ID on the examination requester side and the ID on the examination side are made different from each other. An example of protecting privacy by converting between is described. However, in this example, complicated processing is required in which an ID is assigned to each of the inspection requester side and the inspection side, and further ID conversion is performed.

  According to the medical image display device of the present invention, personal information of a patient included in a reservation list is not inadvertently displayed, and leakage to a third party can be prevented.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  The configuration of the medical image display apparatus of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  In FIG. 1, 11 is an information management system such as a hospital information system (HIS) or a radiation information system (RIS). The information management system 11 is connected to a network 13 such as a LAN (Local Area Network). The network 13 is connected to a receiving device 12 and medical image devices 14 and 15. The accepting device 13 accepts a reservation for photographing.

  The medical imaging devices 14 and 15 are, for example, an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus or an X-ray apparatus. Description will be made assuming that the medical imaging devices 14 and 15 are disposed in the same examination room.

  The configuration of the medical imaging device 14 will be described as a representative. The medical imaging device 14 includes a control unit 21, an image capturing device 22, an input unit 23, a display unit 24, and a display control unit 25.

  The control unit 21 controls the operation of each unit of the medical image device 14. The image capturing device 22 is, for example, an ultrasound diagnostic device, and operates based on the control of the control unit 21. The ultrasound imaging probe 22 transmits and receives an ultrasound beam to and from an object to acquire an echo signal. Based on this, an ultrasonic image is obtained.

  The input unit 23 includes a keyboard, a mouse, and the like, and can input various types of information by a user (such as a doctor). The display unit 24 displays a reservation list, image information based on diagnosis results, and the like. The display control unit 25 controls the display mode of information displayed on the display unit 24, and controls display / non-display of personal information included in the reservation list.

  The display control unit 25 includes a reservation information acquisition unit 26, a database 27, a patient identification information acquisition unit 28, a patient authentication unit 29, and a list display unit 30.

  The reservation information acquisition unit 26 acquires reservation information from the information management system 11 and imports it into the database 27. The reservation information includes, for example, reservation time on the day of diagnosis and information on a reserved patient. In addition to patient examination data, the database 27 stores patient personal information such as patient name, patient ID, gender, date of birth, and the like. The patient's examination data, personal information, etc. are read out.

  Moreover, the patient identification information acquisition part 28 acquires the identification information of a reservation patient based on the patient name, patient ID, etc. which are included in a medical examination ticket, when the reception process of the patient reserved with the reception apparatus 12 is performed. It is.

  Based on the identification information of the reserved patient acquired by the patient identification information acquisition unit 28, the patient authentication unit 29 compares the personal information of the patient read from the database 27 with the identification information to authenticate the reserved patient.

  The list display unit 30 generates an examination list including a reservation list based on the examination data, personal information, etc. stored in the database 27 and displays the examination list on the display unit 24. In the reservation list, the reservation status on the day of diagnosis, the name of the reserved patient, and the like are displayed, and the display form of the patient personal information column displayed in the reservation list is switched according to the authentication result in the patient authentication unit 29.

  For example, when the authentication by the patient authentication unit 29 is not performed, the personal information column of the reservation list is masked, and when the patient is authenticated, the personal information column of the authenticated patient is unmasked and displayed. The

  Thus, based on the reservation information acquired by the reservation information acquisition unit 26 and the patient identification information acquired by the patient identification information acquisition unit 28, it is compared whether or not the patient has been reserved by the patient authentication unit 29. If it is confirmed, the reservation list is displayed including the personal information of the corresponding patient, and if it is not the corresponding patient, only the personal information is masked and displayed.

  FIG. 2 shows an arrangement example of the medical imaging devices 14 and 15, and shows an example in which the medical imaging devices 14 and 15 are arranged in the same examination room 100. In the examination room 100, beds 101 and 102 are arranged, respectively, and medical imaging devices 14 and 15 are arranged adjacent to the beds 101 and 102, respectively. Monitors 241 and 242 corresponding to the display unit 24 in FIG. 1 are connected to the medical imaging devices 14 and 15, respectively, and can be observed by users (doctors) 103 and 104.

  For example, a plurality of relatively small diagnostic devices or portable diagnostic devices such as an ultrasonic diagnostic device and a mammography device are arranged in one examination room, and a patient is guided to an available device for examination. . For this reason, the same reservation list is displayed on each of the monitors 241 and 242.

  At the time of actual medical examination, the screen is divided by the curtain 105. For example, when the patient A is guided to the bed 101, there is a possibility that the patient A sees the reservation list on the screen displayed on the monitors 241 and 242. Since the monitors 241 and 242 display not only the reservation list of the patient A but also a list of other reserved patients, the patient A can view information on other patients and is not desirable from the viewpoint of protecting personal information.

  In the present invention, in order to avoid such a situation, the display form of the reservation list is controlled.

  Next, the personal information protection operation of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of the examination list displayed on the display unit 24, and shows a screen displayed when the medical imaging device 14 is started up. This screen includes a patient information input field 31, an examination information input field 32 such as an examination site, and a display field for a reservation list 33.

  The reservation list 33 displays reserved patient names and the like, and includes, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, a patient personal information column 34, an examination site and a reservation time column 35, and the like. At the time of start-up, the personal information column 34 of the reservation list 33 is masked, and information for specifying a patient is concealed.

  On the other hand, when the reservation patient receives via the reception device 12 and the identification information of the reservation patient is acquired by the patient identification information acquisition unit 28 based on the patient name, patient ID, etc. included in the examination ticket, the patient authentication unit 29 compares the personal information of the reserved patient read from the database 27 with the identification information to authenticate the reserved patient, and when authenticated, as shown in FIG. Is solved and can be observed by a doctor. FIG. 5 illustrates a case where the patient ID, the patient name, and the date of birth of the list indicated by NO.1 are displayed.

  Therefore, the doctor can confirm a reserved patient (referred to as patient A) and prepare for diagnosis. At this time, if the doctor operates the input unit 23 to input that the corresponding patient is ready to be accepted, the information management system 11 determines that the reserved patient has actually started diagnosis, and the corresponding patient from the reservation list. Delete information about (Patient A). As a result, the list of patients who have started diagnosis from the reservation list 33 is deleted. Therefore, the reservation list of the patient A is also deleted from the reservation list 33 displayed on the other medical diagnosis apparatus 15, and therefore, the third party can see it. It will not be done.

  Although the masking process has been described as an example of the personal information concealment process, the present invention is not limited to this, and the personal information is encrypted and displayed in an indecipherable form, and the encryption is released based on the authentication result. It may be displayed so that personal information can be deciphered.

  Moreover, although the example which uses a medical examination ticket as a means to obtain a patient's identification information was demonstrated, the information which identifies a patient is written in not only a medical examination ticket but a magnetic card, IC card, etc., and it reads by using a card reader. A method of confirming a visit or a method in which the patient himself inputs identification information (name, ID, etc.) manually may be used.

  Thus, according to the medical image display apparatus of the present invention, personal information is not displayed carelessly, and leakage of personal information can be prevented. Therefore, it is possible to contribute to protection of personal information and improve security.

  The present invention is not limited to the above description, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the claims.
