Abstract

PURPOSE:To keep information effective with respect to the arrangement or the diagnosis of film which is performed later by storing the character data such as comment and information, etc., for an image on film in a input data storage means, synthesizing date and time data with the character data and photographing them on the film. CONSTITUTION:The character data such as comment and information, etc., is inputted by an input device 1 and stored in the input data storage device 2. The character data in the input data storage device 2 and output data from a date time output device 3 are synthesized in a signal synthesis device 6 and photographed on the upper part character data part 12 of a plural frames image photographing device 7. Thus, a production date, time and the total comment can be simultaneously added in an appropriate size on the film and photographed to be kept as a record, which can be effectively used for the arrangement of the diagnosis later.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an image capturing device capable of capturing multiple frames of images on the same film.

(Prior Art) A multi-format medical image storage and communication system called PAC8, which has a function of storing image data by storing a medical image database and transmitting image data electronically through a communication network, has been put into practical use.

With the advent of the PAC3, diagnostic images of various affected areas of the same patient are now being taken on the same film.

Similarly, diagnostic images from several years ago to recent times have also been taken in chronological order.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, with conventional devices, only individual diagnostic images are taken side by side. It was not possible to record the images at the same time, which was inconvenient when organizing the film at a later date or when trying to diagnose using images.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and its purpose is to:
From all of them, information related to the diagnosis, comments, and the date of creation of the film are captured and recorded on the film at the same time, and an image display device is realized that can leave information useful for organizing and diagnosing the film at a later date. It's about doing.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention solves the above problems in an image photographing apparatus capable of photographing multiple frames of images on the same film.
A plurality of date and time output means having a built-in clock device and inputting date and time data as image input, input means for inputting character data, and input data storage means for storing character data from the input means. In order to perform superimposed photography on a film having the image word form of a frame, the apparatus is provided with the date and time output means and a signal synthesis means for controlling the character size of the data output from the input data storage means and for synthesizing and superimposing the data with the image data. It is characterized by:

(Function) Character data such as comments and information regarding the image on the film are inputted by the input means and stored in the input data storage means. The date and time data and character data from the date and time output means are combined with image data in the signal synthesis means and photographed on either or both of the upper and lower parts of the film.

(Embodiments) Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an input device for inputting character data such as comments and information to be recorded on a film on which a plurality of images are taken using a keyboard or the like, and the input data is stored in an input data storage device 12. be done. 3 is a date and time output device that outputs the creation date and time, and has a built-in clock device. 4 is an image data storage device that stores image data from a medical device; 5 is an image that takes out the image data stored in the image data storage bag "R4" for presentation and outputs it as an image signal as necessary. A signal output device 6 receives data such as character information inputted by the input device 1 and stored in the input data storage device 2, date and time data from the date and time output bag W13, and the output of the image signal output device 5. This is a signal synthesis device that synthesizes image signals.

In the signal synthesis device 6, the size of characters can be controlled by the input amount of data such as character information. 7 is a multi-frame image photographing device for photographing data input from the signal synthesizing device 6 onto the same film.

Next, the operation of the apparatus configured as described above will be explained.

First, FIG. 2 shows the structure of a film image produced by the apparatus of this embodiment. In the figure, an image 11 is placed on a film 10.
A plurality of images 1111, 12 in this figure, are photographed. Reference numeral 12 denotes an upper character data section where comments and information to be photographed and text information such as date and time are located at the upper part of the film 10, and numeral 13 represents a lower character data section in which the above-mentioned character information is placed at the bottom of the film 10. This film 10
The operation of photographing an image and text data will be described below with reference to the flowchart in FIG. 3 = Step 1 Text data such as comments and information is input using the input device 1 and stored in the input data storage device 2.

Step 2 Character data and date/time output bag of human data storage device 2
The output data from 113 is synthesized in signal synthesis 'JA40, and the output data is synthesized in the upper character data section 12 of the multi-frame image capturing device 7.
Take a photo.

Step 3: Take out the data from the image data storage bag M4, select the dark shadow position of the data converted into an image signal by the image signal output device 5, and sequentially perform lllling of 12 frames.

Step 4 Input character data such as comments and information to be photographed into the lower character data section 13 using the input device 1, and enter the input memory bag v! 1
Store in 2.

Step 5 Character data and date/time output bag of human data storage device 2
The output data from j13 is synthesized in the signal synthesizer 6, and the lower character data section 13 of the multiple frame image W4 shadowing device 7 is synthesized.
Take a photo.

In the above steps, if the upper character data section 12 is not to be photographed, it is possible to skip from the start to step 3, and when the lower character data section 13 is not to be photographed, it is possible to skip from step 3 to the end.

Conventionally, the date and time of creation, comments, etc. are recorded for each individual image, but when multiple images are collected and shot on a single film, the creation date, comments, etc. are managed separately. Otherwise, they had no choice but to leave it by handwriting on the photographic film. Also, although it is possible to leave overall information in each individual image, it is not practical to read it because the characters are small. , creation date 1
It becomes possible to simultaneously add the time and comprehensive comments in an appropriate size, take a photograph, and leave it as a record, which can be effectively used for later organization or diagnosis.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above in detail, according to the present invention, information, comments, film creation date and time, etc. can be photographed and recorded on the same film, and the film can be organized at a later date.
It is now possible to leave information useful for diagnosis, which has a great practical effect.
