(Operation of interpretation report creation system 100)
Next, the operation of the interpretation report creation system 100 will be described.
When an image interpretation application is activated in the image interpretation terminal 3 and a login request is made to the server device 2, the server device 2 performs login authentication. After the authentication, the server device 2 transmits an examination list screen to the image interpretation terminal 3 through the communication unit 24. When an examination to be interpreted is selected from the interpretation terminal 3 and an interpretation is instructed, the server apparatus 2 generates screen information of an interpretation screen on which a medical image of the examination to be interpreted is displayed, and the communication unit 24 uses the interpretation terminal. 3 to send. When the interpretation terminal 3 is instructed to create a new interpretation report for the examination to be interpreted from the interpretation screen, the server apparatus 2 is notified of the instruction, and the server apparatus 2 executes an interpretation report creation process.

  FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of the interpretation report creation process executed by the control unit 21 of the server device 2. The interpretation report creation process is executed in cooperation with the control unit 21 and the program stored in the storage unit 25. In addition, the processing performed by the control unit 31 of the interpretation terminal 3 corresponding to the interpretation report creation processing is executed in cooperation with the interpretation application stored in the control unit 31 and the storage unit 35.

First, the control unit 21 executes a report template creation process (step S1).
FIG. 5 shows a flowchart of the report template creation process executed by the control unit 21 in step S1.

In the report template creation process, first, the control unit 21 searches the management information DB 251 to determine whether there is an interpretation report of a past examination of the same patient as the examination to be interpreted (step S101).
When it is determined that there is an interpretation report of a past examination of the same patient (step S101; YES), the control unit 21 proceeds to step S102.
When it is determined that there is no interpretation report of the same patient's past examination (step S101; NO), the control unit 21 proceeds to step S104.

In step S102, the control unit 21 performs a similarity check between the past examination of the same patient and the examination to be interpreted (step S102).
For example, the imaging part of the past examination of the same patient as the examination to be interpreted in the management information DB 251 is checked, and if the imaging part of the past examination and the imaging part of the examination to be interpreted are the same, the examination is judged to be similar. To do. If the imaging part of the past examination and the imaging part of the examination to be interpreted are different, it is determined that the examinations are not similar. It should be noted that which item of information in the management information DB 251 is used to perform the similarity check is not particularly limited. For example, the similarity check may be performed using not only the imaging region but also information on the imaging region and the modality type.

When it is determined in step S102 that the past examination and the examination to be interpreted are similar (step S102; similar), the control unit 21 reads the interpretation report of the same patient's past examination from the report DB 253, and reads the read interpretation. A template is created based on the report (step S103), and the process proceeds to step S2 in FIG.
For example, an interpretation report of a past examination that has been read out may be used as a template as it is. If the interpretation report includes a patient ID, a patient name, an examination ID, an examination time, etc., these are automatically assigned to those of the examination to be interpreted. Alternatively, it may be created as a template.
If there are multiple past examinations of the same patient similar to the examination to be interpreted, a template is created based on the interpretation report of one of the past examinations (for example, the past examination with the latest examination date).

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the past examination of the same patient and the examination to be interpreted are not similar (step S102; dissimilar), the control unit 21 proceeds to step S104.

In step S104, the control unit 21 reads an interpretation report of a similar past examination of another patient from the report DB 253, creates a template based on the read interpretation report (step S104), and proceeds to step S2 in FIG. To do.
For example, the control unit 21 uses a past examination of another patient as a past examination of another patient similar to the examination to be interpreted as a past examination of the same subject as the examination to be interpreted as a past examination of another patient. Read from the report DB 253. Then, a template is created based on the read interpretation report of the past examination. For example, the read interpretation report may be used as a template as it is. If the interpretation report includes patient ID, patient name, examination ID, examination time, etc., these are automatically replaced with those of the examination to be interpreted. It may be created as a template.

In step S2 of FIG. 4, the control unit 21 executes a keyword recognition process (step S2).
FIG. 6 shows a flowchart of the keyword recognition process executed by the control unit 21 in step S2.

In the keyword recognition process, first, the control unit 21 extracts words from the created template (step S201).
Next, the control unit 21 selects one of the extracted words, and determines whether or not it corresponds to the keyword registered in the keyword DB 254 (step 202).

  If it is determined that it corresponds to a keyword (step S202; applicable), the control unit 21 recognizes the word as a keyword (step S203), and proceeds to step S206. The recognized keyword is temporarily stored in the RAM.

If it is determined that it does not correspond to the keyword (step S202; not applicable), the control unit 21 registers it as a new keyword based on whether the configuration of the word, the context before and after, etc. satisfy a predetermined condition. Whether or not (step S204).
For example, when the condition that a word similar in structure to the word (for example, a word in which a part of the word (for example, left and right, inside and outside) is replaced) is registered in the keyword DB 254 is satisfied , It is determined that the word is registered as a new keyword. For example, when the word is “liver left lobe” and “liver right lobe” is registered in the keyword DB 254, it is determined that “liver left lobe” is registered as a new keyword. In addition, as alternative keyword candidates to be associated with new keywords and the strength of relevance, for example, it is determined that the word itself is determined to be similar in composition to the word itself, and the word is similar in composition to the word. A word or the like stored in the keyword DB 254 can be registered in association with the word.

If it is determined to register as a new keyword (step S204; YES), the control unit 21 recognizes the word as a keyword, registers it as a new keyword in the keyword DB 254 (step S205), and proceeds to step S206.
If it is determined not to register as a new keyword (step S204; NO), the control unit 21 proceeds to step S206.

  In step S206, the control unit 21 determines whether or not the processing in steps S202 to S205 has been completed for all words included in the created template (step S206). If it is determined that the processing in steps S202 to S205 has not been completed for all words included in the created template (step S206; NO), the control unit 21 returns to step S201. When it is determined that the processing in steps S202 to S205 has been completed for all words included in the created template (step S206; YES), the control unit 21 proceeds to step S3 in FIG.

  In step S3 of FIG. 4, the control unit 21 generates screen information of the report input screen 331 on which the template created in step S1 is displayed, transmits the screen information to the interpretation terminal 3 by the communication unit 24, and displays it on the display unit 33. A report input screen 331 is displayed (step S3).

  FIG. 7 shows an example of a report input screen 331 displayed on the display unit 33 of the image interpretation terminal 3. As shown in FIG. 7, the report input screen 331 is provided with template display areas 331a and 331b for displaying a template of an interpretation report, an approval request button 331c for requesting approval of the input interpretation report, and the like. Yes. In the template display areas 331a and 331b, a template based on an interpretation report of a past examination similar to the examination to be interpreted is displayed. Words recognized as keywords in the template are displayed so as to be identifiable by changing the color or the like. When the control unit 31 of the image interpretation terminal 3 detects that a keyword is selected (for example, pressed (clicked or tapped)) by the operation unit 32 in the template display area 331a or 331b, information on the selected keyword is displayed. Is transmitted to the server device 2 by the communication unit 34. When it is detected by the operation unit 32 that the approval request button 331c is pressed, the control unit 31 transmits an interpretation report approval request instruction created by editing the template to the server device 2 by the communication unit 34. To do.

  When the information on the keyword selected from the interpretation terminal 3 is received by the communication unit 24 (step S4; YES), the control unit 21 reads out information on alternative keyword candidates for the selected keyword from the keyword DB 254 to read the interpretation terminal 3. The user interface (UI) for inputting an alternative keyword is displayed on the display unit 33, and the input of the alternative keyword is accepted (step S5). An alternative keyword refers to a word that is replaced with a keyword.

FIG. 8 shows a pop-up screen 332 as an example of a UI displayed on the report input screen 331 in step S5. The pop-up screen 332 displays alternative keyword candidates for the selected keyword. When one alternative keyword candidate is selected from the alternative keyword candidates, the pop-up screen 332 is a UI for inputting the selected alternative keyword candidate as an alternative keyword. is there. As shown in FIG. 8, on the pop-up screen 332, a selected keyword display field 332a for displaying the selected keyword, an alternative keyword candidate display field 332b for displaying an alternative keyword candidate for the selected keyword, an alternative for the selected keyword A replacement instruction button 332c for instructing replacement with the alternative keyword selected in the keyword candidate display field 332b, a manual input button 332d for instructing input of an alternative keyword by manual input, and the like are displayed. In the alternative keyword candidate display field 332b, the values indicating the strength of relevance are displayed in descending order.
When the alternative keyword candidate is selected from the alternative keyword candidate display field 332b by the operation unit 32 and the replacement instruction button 332c is pressed, the control unit 31 causes the communication unit 34 to use the selected alternative keyword candidate as the input alternative keyword. It transmits to the server device 2. When the manual input button 332d is pressed by the operation unit 32, the control unit 31 causes the display unit 33 to display the dialog box 332e, the determination button 332g, and the keyboard 332f illustrated in FIG. When an alternative keyword is input to the dialog box 332e using the keyboard 332f and the determination button 332g is pressed, the control unit 31 transmits the input alternative keyword to the server device 2 via the communication unit 34.

When the information of the alternative keyword input from the interpretation terminal 3 is received by the communication unit 24 (step S6; YES), the control unit 21 replaces the selected keyword in the template with the input alternative keyword, and the keyword is changed. The screen information of the report input screen 331 replaced with the alternative keyword is transmitted to the interpretation terminal 3 by the communication unit 24 and displayed on the display unit 33 of the interpretation terminal 3 (step S7), and the process proceeds to step S8 in FIG. FIG. 10 shows an example in which the keyword selected in FIG. 7 is replaced with an alternative keyword.
Note that the control unit 21 determines whether or not the manually entered alternative keyword is registered in the keyword DB 254 as an alternative keyword candidate of the selected keyword. If not, the alternative keyword of the selected keyword is not registered. It is good also as registering in keyword DB254 as a candidate.

In step S8 of FIG. 4, the control unit 21 determines whether or not an instruction for requesting approval of the interpretation report from the interpretation terminal 3 has been received by the communication unit 24 (step S8).
When it is determined that an instruction for requesting approval of an interpretation report from the interpretation terminal 3 has not been received by the communication unit 24 (step S8; NO), the control unit 21 returns to step S4.
When it is determined that an instruction to approve an interpretation report from the interpretation terminal 3 has been received by the communication unit 24 (step S8; YES), the control unit 21 creates an interpretation report using the edited template and stores it in the report DB 253. At the same time as registration, the interpretation status is changed to awaiting approval (step S9), and the interpretation report creation process is terminated.
The control unit 21 refers to the user DB in the storage unit 25 and makes an approval request for an interpretation report created at the contact point of an interpretable interpreting doctor.

In the above interpretation report creation processing, the case where the pop-up screen 332 is displayed as an example of a user interface (UI) for inputting an alternative keyword has been described as an example. However, as an UI for inputting an alternative keyword by selecting an alternative keyword candidate Is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, a UI 333 that displays alternative keyword candidates in a drum roll manner by a user operation (for example, a swipe operation) may be displayed in the vicinity of the selected keyword. When the alternative keyword candidate displayed on the UI 333 is selected (clicked or tapped) by the operation unit 32, the alternative keyword candidate may be input as an alternative keyword.
As a result, the user can select alternative keyword candidates more quickly.

In the keyword recognition process, the alternative keyword is selected from the displayed alternative keyword candidates by a user operation. However, the interpretation terminal 3 includes a voice input device such as a microphone, and the alternative keyword is a voice. It is good also as a structure inputted by input. For example, when a keyword to be replaced is selected by the operation unit 32 on the report input screen 331, as shown in FIG. 12, the control unit 31 (interpretation application) activates the voice input function and is input from the voice input device. The voice may be recognized and the text may be acquired as an alternative keyword. Further, as shown at 334 in FIG. 12, the recognized voice text may be displayed on the report input screen 331. And it is good also as transmitting the acquired alternative keyword to the server apparatus 2, and replacing the selected keyword with the input alternative keyword.
Accordingly, the user can input an alternative keyword without performing an operation for selecting an alternative keyword candidate.

  Note that whether or not to input an alternative keyword using the voice input function can be switched by a check box (not shown) provided on the report input screen 331 or the like. In addition, it is possible to set whether or not to input an alternative keyword using the voice input function from a setting screen (not shown), and when the voice input is set, the control unit 31 sets an alternative keyword by voice input. It is good also as receiving an input.

  In the keyword recognition process, the case where keywords such as nouns and verbs are replaced has been described as an example. Similarly, for a conjunction other than the keyword, a conjunction to be changed is pressed (clicked, tapped) by the operation unit 32. Then, the alternative candidate may be displayed on the report input screen 331 and replaced with the alternative candidate. Similarly, it may be configured such that a conjunctive substitute can be input by voice input. Moreover, the control part 21 is good also as checking the conjunction before and behind at the timing which replaced the word, and automatically replacing with the conjunction suitable for the replaced alternative keyword.

As described above, according to the server device 2 of the interpretation report creation system 100, the control unit 21 searches and reads out an interpretation report of an examination similar to the examination to be interpreted from the report DB 253, and creates a new interpretation report. A shape is automatically created, a keyword is recognized from the created template, and a report input screen 331 is displayed on the display unit 33 that displays a template displayed in a manner in which the recognized keyword can be identified. When a keyword is selected by a user operation from the displayed template on the report input screen 331, the control unit 21 displays a UI for inputting an alternative keyword on the display unit 33, and accepts the input of the alternative keyword. Then, the control unit 21 creates a new interpretation report by replacing the keyword selected in the template with the input alternative keyword.
Therefore, an interpretation report similar to the examination to be interpreted is automatically displayed as a template from among the interpretation reports created in the past, so the user has to search for past reports of examinations similar to the examination to be interpreted. Can be omitted, and an interpretation report can be created efficiently. In addition, since the replaceable keywords are displayed in the template so as to be identifiable, the user can easily grasp which words can be replaced.

Further, for example, the keyword DB 254 stores a plurality of keywords and alternative keyword candidates that can be replaced with each of the plurality of keywords in association with each other, and the control unit 21 can replace the selected keyword with an alternative. A pop-up screen 332 for selecting a keyword candidate is displayed on the display unit 33, and selection of an alternative keyword candidate on the pop-up screen 332 is accepted as an input of an alternative keyword that replaces the keyword.
Therefore, the user can save the trouble of inputting the character string of the word to be replaced with the selected keyword from the keyboard, and can efficiently create an interpretation report.

For example, the control unit 21 displays alternative keyword candidates that can be replaced with the selected keyword in the vicinity of the selected keyword displayed on the display unit 33 (UI333), and selects the alternative keyword candidate by a user operation. Accept as input for alternative keywords to replace keywords.
Therefore, the user can save the trouble of inputting the character string of the word to be replaced with the selected keyword from the keyboard, and can efficiently create an interpretation report.

For example, when a keyword is selected from the model, the control unit 31 starts up the voice input device, recognizes the voice input from the voice input device, and accepts it as an alternative keyword.
Therefore, the user can save the trouble of inputting the character string of the word to be replaced with the selected keyword from the keyboard, and can efficiently create an interpretation report.

Further, for example, the control unit 21 determines whether or not a word that is not recognized as a keyword among the template words satisfies a predetermined condition, and the word determined to satisfy the predetermined condition is determined as a keyword Register in the DB 254.
Therefore, it is possible to register, in the keyword DB 254, a new word that satisfies a predetermined condition among the template words of the interpretation report.

In addition, the description content in the said embodiment is a suitable example of this invention, and is not limited to this.
For example, in the above-described embodiment, the database (management information DB 251, image DB 252, report DB 253, keyword DB 254) necessary for the interpretation report creation processing has been described as an example. It is good also as a structure memorize | stored in the memory | storage part. These databases may be provided in an external storage device connected via a communication network to a device (server device 2 in the present embodiment) that executes an interpretation report creation process.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the interpretation report creating apparatus of the present invention is applied to the server apparatus 2 has been described as an example, but it may be applied to the interpretation terminal 3. That is, in the above-described embodiment, the interpretation report creation process is executed in cooperation with the control unit 21 of the server device 2 and the program, and the report input screen 331 for selecting a keyword from a template and an alternative keyword are input. The screen information such as the pop-up screen 332 is generated by the control unit 21 and transmitted to the image interpretation terminal 3 so that these screens are displayed on the display unit 33 of the image interpretation terminal 3 to accept user input. It is good also as a structure which performs an interpretation report creation process by cooperation with the control part 31 of the terminal 3, and a program. In this case, the database (management information DB 251, image DB 252, report DB 253, keyword DB 254) may be provided in the image interpretation terminal 3, or a part or all of the DB may be provided in the server device 2 for processing. The server device 2 may be requested and acquired to search for necessary data.

  In the above description, an example in which a hard disk, a semiconductor nonvolatile memory, or the like is used as a computer-readable medium of the program according to the present invention is disclosed, but the present invention is not limited to this example. As another computer-readable medium, a portable recording medium such as a CD-ROM can be applied. A carrier wave is also applied as a medium for providing program data according to the present invention via a communication line.

  In addition, the detailed configuration and detailed operation of each device constituting the interpretation report creating system can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
