Description

  The present invention relates to a medical image diagnostic apparatus having a voice guidance management server and a voice guidance management server, and more particularly to a voice guidance management server and a medical image that perform voice guidance when a patient is examined by a medical image diagnostic apparatus in a hospital or clinic. The present invention relates to a diagnostic device.

  For example, in a modality (medical image diagnostic apparatus or medical apparatus) in a hospital or clinic such as an X-ray CT (Computed Tomography) apparatus or MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), a language setting corresponding to the installation place when the modality is installed By performing the above, voice guidance for the installation site can be used at the time of inspection. For example, when the X-ray CT apparatus is installed in Japan, Japanese is set as the language of the voice guidance, and when the X-ray CT apparatus is installed in the United States, English is set as the language of the voice guidance.

  When a patient is inspected using a modality, so-called voice guidance is carried out to convey the precautions to the patient in local language in order to perform the inspection safely and quickly. Thereby, voice guidance in the local language for each installation location can be performed for the patient, and the burden on the patient when the patient undergoes the examination can be reduced and the examination can be made more efficient.

  As an example of a medical device that uses speech, the words used in front of the patient are converted into appropriate words according to the situation or situation in which the medical examination or examination is performed at the time of text conversion by speech recognition. A medical support device for displaying the image on the display has been proposed (see Patent Document 1).
