Description

Detailed Description of the Invention 31 Technical Field The present invention relates to an image recording device for medical diagnosis that records image signals of a patient.

3.2 Prior Art In general, in endoscopic examinations, photographs are taken for comparative examinations. In recent years, instead of taking photographs using silver halide film, it has become common practice to record image signals obtained by a solid-state imaging device such as a CCD on a floppy disk or the like. In addition to the jlflI image signal, it is also necessary to record patient data such as the patient's name and medical record number on the floppy disk. For this reason, patient data is input from a keyboard or the like before imaging.

Since this input work is done manually, it is troublesome and may lead to input errors. 3.3 Purpose An object of the present invention is to provide an image that can easily input patient data recorded together with image signals. An object of the present invention is to provide a recording device. 3.4 Overview According to the image recording device according to the present invention, patient data can be recorded in advance on a medical examination ticket, and the patient data can be easily read out from the medical examination card. , and can input patient data accurately.

3.5 Embodiment An embodiment of the image recording apparatus according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment applied to an endoscopic imaging system. An electronic camera 212 is connected to the eyepiece of the endoscope 10. When the photographing instruction button 14 is pressed, the electronic power mechanism 212 photoelectrically converts an optical image of one screen of the subject using a solid-state image sensor such as a COD, and captures a still image.
l! ]l is output. A light source unit 16 for illuminating the inside of the body cavity is also connected to the endoscope 10. The output signal of the electronic camera 12 is transmitted to the recording unit 1.
8. Into the recording unit 18, a uniform card-shaped medical examination ticket 20 and a floppy disk 22 are inserted. A magnetic tape is embedded in a part of the consultation ticket 20, and the magnetic tape contains patient data that was conventionally entered from a keyboard, such as the patient's name, gender, date of birth, age, and medical record store. Some or all of them are recorded in advance. The floppy disk 22 is used to record image signals. The recording unit 18 is provided with a display element 24 for displaying patient data. Part 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the recording unit 18. A detector 30 is provided at the entrance for the examination ticket 20, and a detector 32 is provided at the insertion opening for the floppy disk 22, and the insertion of the examination ticket 20 and the floppy disk 22 is detected by these detectors 30 and 32. The medical card 20 and the floppy disk 22 have magnetic heads of 34° and 36°, respectively.
The magnetic heads 34 and 36 are brought into contact with each other.
Driver/amplifiers 38 and 40 are connected to.

The detectors 30, 32, the drivers/amplifiers 3B, 40, and the driver 42 for the display element 24 are: 10<-)
44 to a pass line 46. Also,
Electronic camera 12 is also connected to I10 port 44.

The pass line 46 has a ROM 48. RAM 50,
A CPU 52° timer 54 is also connected.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. When the e-mail is turned on, as shown in step 100, it is determined whether the floppy disk 22 is inserted into the recording unit 18.

When the insertion of the disk 22 is detected by the detector 22,
As shown in step 10'5, it is determined whether the visit 020 has been inserted into the recording unit 18. When the detector 30 detects the insertion of the medical card 20, as shown in step 110, the driver/amplifier 38 causes the magnetic head 34 to move a predetermined distance 1i over the tension in the medical card 20.
The patient data is read out from the patient ticket 20 by 1K. The read breath name data is displayed on the display element 24, and the patient's name, medical record number, etc. are confirmed. Here, the patient data includes a start/end signal, and when the start signal is detected, the movement of the magnetic head 34 is started, and the movement is ended by the end signal. In step 115, the read patient data is recorded on the floppy disk 22 by the magnetic disk 36. For example, the floppy disk 22 has a data track on its outer periphery and an image track on its inner side. In step 120, the electronic camera 12 enters a shooting instruction waiting state in which it is determined whether or not the shooting instruction button 14 has been pressed and a shooting start instruction has been issued. When the photographing start instruction is detected, as shown in step 125, the child camera 12 photographs one screen, and the image signal is recorded on a predetermined image track of the 70-ply disk 22 by the magnetic head 36. In step 130, it is determined whether there is an unrecorded portion of the image track on the floppy disk 22, that is, whether an image signal can still be recorded. When it is determined that there is no unrecorded portion and the image signal can no longer be recorded, the operation ends. However, if there is an unrecorded portion, it is determined by Stella f135 whether the medical card 20 is still inserted. The consultation ticket 20 remains inserted into the recording unit 18 while the patient is being photographed, and is removed when the photographing is completed. Therefore, when it is detected that the medical card 20 is still inserted, step 120 is executed.
The camera waits for the next shooting instruction. If it is determined that the patient's ticket 20 has not been inserted, step 105 is executed, and the system waits for the next patient's patient's ticket to be inserted. The operations described above are performed as shown in step 130, 70. This process continues until image signals are recorded on all image tracks of the disc 22. Note that the date of imaging is also recorded on the floppy disk 22 as patient data based on the output of the timer 54.

As described above, according to this embodiment, input of patient data is not performed manually by pressing a key or the like, but is automatically performed by inserting a consultation card on which patient data is recorded in advance. Therefore, the time required to input patient data is short and erroneous input is also prevented. In addition, in the above explanation, writing patient data to the floppy disk is done using iI.
! This is performed prior to writing the No. 11 image signal, but this order may be reversed. That is, the patient data may be written after the image signal is written.

In the first embodiment, the image signals of a plurality of patients were recorded on a single 70 mm disc. The operation when only one patient's image signal is recorded on the ray disc will be explained. FIG. 4 is a flowchart of this process. The steps of detecting the insertion of the floppy disk 22 (step 200), detecting the insertion of the medical card 2o (step 205), and reading and displaying patient data from the medical card 2o (step 21o) are the same as in the first embodiment. However, in the next step 215, it is determined whether patient data has already been written to the floral disk 22. In other words, it is determined whether it is a first visit or a second visit.

At the time of a re-examination, that is, when it is determined that the patient data has already been stored on the floppy disk, the patient data is read out from the data track of the floppy disk 22 and displayed as shown in Stella f22o. Ru. In step 225, it is determined whether the patient data read from the patient ticket 20 and the patient data read from the floppy disk 22 match. If it is determined that they do not match, an alarm is generated in step 230 and the operation ends. When a match between both data is detected, the process enters a state of waiting for an instruction to start photographing in step 23'5. Stella f
In step 215, when it is the first visit, that is, when it is determined that the patient data has not been written on the floppy disk 22, the patient data read from the consultation card 20 is stored on the floppy disk, as shown in Stella f240.

After the data is written to the data track of the disc 22, the state waits for a photographing instruction in step 235'. After this, as in the first embodiment, the image signal is written to the disk (step 245), the remaining recording capacity of the disk is determined (step 250), and the insertion of the medical card 20 is confirmed. (step 255). However, unlike the first embodiment, when it is determined that the patient ticket 20 has been removed, the @ operation ends.

According to this second embodiment, in addition to the effects of the first embodiment,
Since the floppy disk on which the patient's image signal is recorded is verified, the image signal of one patient will not be mistakenly written to the same floppy disk along with the image signal of another person, and comparative observation will be possible. It's easy to do.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and can be modified in various ways, and a solid-state imaging device such as a CCD may be provided at the tip of the endoscope. Furthermore, the medical card insertion section and the floppy disk insertion section may be separate bodies. Alternatively, the recording unit and the light source unit may be integrated.

3.6 Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, there is provided an image recording device that allows patient data to be inputted accurately and easily and that records patient data together with image signals.
