Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is used in a radiation image information processing system that reads and processes image information from a stimulable phosphor sheet on which radiation image information of a patient is recorded in a hospital. Patient ID
(Identification) The present invention relates to a patient information registration device for registering other information.

[Prior Art] When a certain kind of phosphor is irradiated with radiation such as electron beams, It is known that when irradiated with , phosphors exhibit stimulated luminescence depending on the stored energy, and phosphors with this property are called stimulable phosphors.

Using this phosphor, for example, in a hospital, a patient's radiation image information is recorded on a stimulable phosphor sheet, and this sheet is scanned with a light beam such as a laser to produce stimulated luminescence according to the radiation image information. The present applicant has developed a radiation image information processing system comprising an image reading device for generating light and reading image information by detecting the light, and a registration means for manually inputting ID information such as patient information and imaging information. (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-253348).

In such a system, prior to imaging to record the patient's radiation image information on a stimulable phosphor sheet, patient information such as the patient's name and date of birth, as well as imaging information such as the imaging date and area to be imaged, are registered. will be held. To prevent this, an ID terminal (hereinafter referred to as IDT) is usually installed near the imaging device as a means of registering patient information, etc.
Personal information is registered by loading a magnetic card on which necessary patient information is written in advance into the T or by performing manual operation.

Additionally, a stimulable phosphor sheet is usually provided with a barcode as an identification symbol to distinguish it from other stimulable phosphor sheets, and the IDT registers the ID information and also reads the barcode. The ID information and the barcode are stored in a storage means in correspondence with each other.

On the other hand, the stimulable phosphor sheet that has been photographed by the photographing device is loaded into the image reading device, and the image information and barcode are read.The read barcode is sent to the storage means and its information is ID information corresponding to the same barcode is retrieved from the storage means. This ID information is input manually to the image reading device, and the image reading device sets reading conditions and performs image processing based on the ID information.

The above IDT is equipped with a CRT or liquid crystal display in order to display to the operator (usually a radiographer) the screens necessary for operation and information read from the patient card. When the information is read, to confirm it, for example, the patient's name, gender, date of birth, and ID number are displayed in a part of the imaging site selection screen (in this example, at the top of the screen) as shown in Figure 5. , etc. are displayed in a line, and even if the contents of the display screen change thereafter, the patient's data is always displayed.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the display format of data such as a patient's name, date of birth, address, etc. is not necessarily constant, and there are several modes. For example, in the case of date of birth, the year is displayed in both the Western calendar and the Japanese era name. Also, the display order can be changed to year, month,
In addition to the order of the day, there is also the order of month, day, year, or day, month, year. In the case of names, there are two types: surname first and first name first. Therefore, when displaying the above data, a display format is determined for each hospital, and a program is created that determines the procedure for displaying on the IDT display screen according to the display format. In other words, the display program for data such as year, month, and date must be created according to the format required by each hospital, and if the display format is changed even at a single hospital, the display program must be created each time. Requires program development or modification.

In this way, developing and modifying programs in accordance with individually required data display formats is a burden on design and is inefficient. On the other hand, it is conceivable to prepare multiple types of display programs in advance in a system to be introduced in one hospital, but in that case, the cost will increase and the ones that are not actually used will be redundant, and the system There was also the problem of increased administrative burden.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to enable any one of a plurality of data display formats to be specified at the time of system introduction or other necessary times, so that data read from a patient card can be set when displaying data. An object of the present invention is to provide a patient information registration device that displays in a specified display format.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a radiation image information processing system that reads and processes image information from a stimulable phosphor sheet on which radiation image information of a patient is recorded in a hospital. A patient information registration device for registering patient information used includes a card information reading means for reading the contents from a patient card on which the patient information is recorded, and a card information reading means for displaying the patient information read by the card information reading means. a display means having a display screen; and the display means configured to display information that can be displayed in a plurality of display formats among the patient information read by the card information reading means on the display screen in a preset display format. It is characterized by comprising a control means for controlling.

[Operation] Prior to radiography to record the patient's radiation image information on the stimulable phosphor sheet, patient information such as the patient's name, gender, and date of birth, as well as imaging information such as the date of imaging and the area to be imaged, are registered. In this case, when the patient card is first loaded into the device,
Card information reading means reads patient information. When the reading is performed normally, the control means determines a preset display format for information that can be displayed in a plurality of display formats, such as date of birth. It is assumed that the display format determined here is specified or selected by the hospital from among a plurality of display formats in advance, for example, when the system is introduced, and is stored in the control means by an engineer or the like.

After determining the preset display format as described above, the control means converts the data format of the date of birth, etc. according to the determined display format, and displays it on the display screen of the display means.

In this way, patient information such as date of birth can be displayed according to a preset display format, and when the display format is desired to be changed, the user only needs to select and reset the changed display format.
