Abstract

PURPOSE:To record a reversed name in white and black in an X-ray film by making a light image into a reversed image in white and black for the read-out name. CONSTITUTION:A name card reader 1 reads out a name card, and a memory 2 stores it according to the indication of an address generator 8. Next, the stored name card is read out from the memory 2 according to the indication of the generator 8. At this time, the data are reversed by an inverter 9. Since the name data of the memory 2 are memorized in a form of white and black, it is changed into reversed data in white and black by making it pass through the inverter 9. The reversed name data are converted into an analog signal with a DA converter 3, and a name picture image reversed in white and black on a CRT4 is displayed. The picture image is formed by an image-formation lens 5 and is reflected by the mirror 6 to be radiated on the X-ray film 7. Accordingly the reversed name picture image in white and black is recorded on the film 7.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a name printer for X-ray film that records a name read from a name card.

[Conventional technology]

X-ray film name printers are used to record names on X-ray films in X-ray equipment.

This conventional example is shown in FIG. The name card reader 1 reads the name card (including the ID card) of the subject inserted by the operator, and the memory 2, which is under address control by the address generator 8, stores this as data. Data formation in the memory 2 is not in color but in black and white. The name data in memory 2 is converted to DA by DA converter 3, and converted into C
Displayed in black and white format on RT4 (light image). This displayed name image is reflected by a mirror 6 via an imaging lens 5, and is irradiated onto an X-ray film 7, where it is photosensitively recorded.

Here, the name data may include various information such as date of birth and gender in addition to the name.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The above conventional example displays the read name data in a fixed format. The fixed format here refers to a format in which the name character part is black and the surrounding area is white, or conversely, the name character part is white and the surrounding area is black. There is no choice between the two. It is always a fixed format.

Further, the recording format of the name characters is such that they can be read from the front of the film, and it is not possible to select a recording format such as reversing the characters vertically or horizontally.

However, some operators may dislike a fixed display format, and some operators may require a display method that is easier to see depending on the image recorded through perspective.

Furthermore, the fluoroscopy method may be from the back of the subject, or the position of the head and feet may be flipped upside down. In this case, the name is recorded on the X-ray film in a fixed location and in a fixed format under the shooting position.

However, when a doctor or the like wishes to observe the various imaging positions, they often observe the X-ray film while looking at the subject from the front. For example, when a photograph is taken from the back, a name is conventionally recorded on a part of the recording surface of the fluoroscopic image taken from the back. If this film is to be observed from the front direction of the subject, the film must be turned over.

As a result, the name becomes a font viewed from the back, making it difficult to read.

Even if the photographing position is different from the viewing position, it is preferable that the name be recorded so that it can be read correctly from the front.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a name printer for X-ray film that is capable of displaying names in black-and-white inversion and in top-down and left-right inversion.

.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, the name data stored in the memory is output by inverting it vertically and horizontally and displaying it on the display, and this is
Claim 4) The line film features a name in a vertically and horizontally inverted format.

Further, according to the present invention, there is provided a display mode specifying means for outputting the name data stored in the memory as is, inverted in black and white, or inverted vertically and horizontally. According to claim 5), the X-ray film is characterized by a name in a format according to the above specification.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is an actual side view of the name printer in the case of black and white reversal according to the present invention. This embodiment is characterized in that an inverter 9 is provided between the memory 2 and the DA converter 3. The other configurations are the same as in FIG. 6.

First, the name card reader 1 reads the name card inserted by the operator. The memory 2 stores name data according to instructions from the address generator 8. Next, the stored name data is transferred to the memory 2 according to instructions from the address generator 8.
This data is inverted by an inverter 9.

Since the name data in the memory 2 is stored in black and white format, by passing it through the inverter 9, the name data becomes black and white reversed. The black and white reversed name data is DA
The converter 3 converts the signal into an analog signal, which is input to the CRT 4 as a video signal, and a black and white inverted name image is displayed on the screen. The displayed black and white inverted name image is formed into an image by an imaging lens 5, then reflected by a mirror 6, and irradiated onto an X-ray film 7. As a result, a black and white reversed name image is recorded on the X-ray film 7.

1.I The recorded image on the X-ray film 7 is shown in FIG.

The name image is recorded at the upper left end of the X-ray film 7, but the name image can be recorded at any position.

At the end 11, as shown in FIG. Note that the normal recording method may be as shown in FIG.

Incidentally, in order to select whether or not to invert, a switch may be provided before the inverter 9, and the output via the inverter 9 and the output not via the inverter 9 may be selected.

FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the name printer in which the name printer is inverted vertically and horizontally. This embodiment is characterized in that a mode designator 10 is provided. To invert the name data vertically and horizontally, the name data stored in the memory 2 may be changed so that the read address is inverted vertically and horizontally.

Here, FIG. 4 shows the vertically and horizontally inverted side. If the so-called white name as shown in Figure 3 (b) is the normal display method, up-down reversal means that when the film 7 is viewed upside down as shown in Figure 4 (a), the font is viewed from the front. It refers to the method of display that results in the state of being seen. Horizontal reversal refers to a display method in which the font appears as if viewed from the front when the film is observed from the back. Furthermore, the side where all the vertical and horizontal reversals have been done is shown in Figure 4 (
Shown in c). In this case, it refers to a display method in which the font is viewed from the front when the film is turned upside down and upside down.

These are display methods for different shooting positions and viewing positions. That is, the following is true. The location to be photographed is the chest.

Figure 4 (a): This display method is used when the chest is photographed with the upper and lower positional relationship reversed. The purpose of observation is to see the original vertical positional relationship of the chest.

Fig. 4 (B): This display method is used when photographing from the back while keeping the vertical positional relationship of the chest unchanged. The purpose of observation is to look from the front of the chest.

FIG. 4(c): This display method is used when the upper and lower chest positions are reversed and the image is taken from the back. The purpose of observation is to look from the front of the chest.

In order to realize the above diagrams (a) to (c), the memory 2
is stored in. For the name data as shown in FIG. 3(b), the read address may be operated by the mode designator 10. For example, to obtain Figure 4 (A), if the hatched part in Figure 3 (B) is the content of the memo, then the first address in the upper left of Figure 3 (B) is the last address of the rask scan. The read address may be manipulated so that the last address at the bottom right of the hatched portion in FIG. 3(b) is the first address of the rask scan.

4(b) and 4(c) can be similarly realized by address manipulation.

When the operator specifies one of the modes shown in FIG.

According to the above embodiment, it is possible to easily specify vertical and horizontal reversal, and display and record.

Fig. 5 shows Fig. 3 (a),
・This is an embodiment in which it is possible to switch between (B), FIG. 4 (A), <口), and (C) to specify. The microcomputer 20 has a CPU 12 in addition to the memory 2, and an external mode designator (
For example, each mode can be specified using 10 (keyboard). Then, the microcomputer 20 is shown in Fig. 3 (a), (b),
It has software that can realize each of the modes shown in FIG. 4 (a), (b), and (c).

According to the above configuration, inversion of characters in each mode can be easily realized.

Note that although a CRT is used to obtain the optical image, a liquid crystal format, a light emitting diode, or the like may be used.

Further, the name may be printed on the X-ray film 7 either before or after the image is taken (before or after the film is printed).

[Effects of the Second Invention] According to the present invention, when printing a name, it becomes possible to record the name by inverting black and white or vertically and horizontally (Claims 1 to 5).
