Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify a diagnostic device and to improve operability by recording the initial data of the diagnostic device to an individual patient on an IC card, reading by combining with the ID card of a doctor and setting an initial condition to the diagnostic device. CONSTITUTION:In the IC card of the patient, the ID of the patient and the initial data such as an optimum STC (time varying gain control) set for operating the diagnostic device at the time of diagnosing the patient by the doctor in charge of a medical examination, a gain, a dynamic range are stored. The diagnostic device reads the initial data of the diagnostic device stored in the IC card of the patient according to the ID of the doctor by inputting the IC card of the patient and the ID card of the doctor from a card charging machine 9A and sets the initial condition of respective circuits through a control circuit 6A.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] The present invention is a medical diagnostic device in which initial data is set by card input, and the initial data set in the diagnostic device by a doctor for a patient is recorded on an IC card. , its IC
By inputting the card and the doctor's ID card in combination, the control circuit of the diagnostic device reads the data recorded on these cards and sets the diagnostic device to its initial state.

By doing so, the diagnostic device can be simplified.

(Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a medical diagnostic device that performs initial settings by card input.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, ultrasonic diagnostic devices that obtain in-vivo diagnostic information using ultrasonic waves have become widely used.

Hereinafter, an ultrasonic diagnostic device will be used as an example of a medical diagnostic device.

Furthermore, with only one ultrasonic diagnostic device, it is versatile enough to be used for obstetrics and gynecology, heart, abdomen, and mammary glands, increasing the efficiency of use of the diagnostic device.

However, the optimal initial conditions for a diagnostic device are determined by the state of an individual's internal tissues, and in order to increase the versatility of a diagnostic device, it is necessary to easily and quickly obtain the initial conditions necessary for diagnosis. A method for setting is required.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a method for setting initial conditions in a conventional ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus.

As shown in FIG. 2, the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus (hereinafter referred to as the diagnostic apparatus) has a measurement unit 10 in which ultrasonic waves from a transmitter 2 are input to a probe 1 applied to a patient's examination area, and the reflected waves are reflected. The wave is received by a receiver 3, analyzed, and displayed on a display device 4.
displays an image of the examined area on the display 5.

The measurement unit 10 includes an STC (Sensitivity T
imeControl: Time-varying gain side'a), gain (
Optimum conditions for the patient, such as gain), range (operation range), etc., are adjusted, and an image of the examined area is obtained.

The optimum conditions for this measurement unit 10 are that the data initially adjusted for each patient is stored in the storage device 7, and the data is read out by the control circuit 6 through the following operations and set in the measurement unit 10 as initial data. do.

First, the IDs (registration numbers) of the patient and doctor are entered by typing on the keyboard 8 or by inserting their respective ID cards into the card insertion machine 9.

The input patient and doctor IDs are combined, and initial data corresponding to the combination is read from the storage device 7.

Based on the initial data, the STC, gain, dynamic range, etc. are set by the operator or the doctor himself or by automatic operation of the device.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In this conventional system, it was necessary to equip the diagnostic device with a storage device in order to store initial data for each individual (patient) and for each field of examination (physician).

However, in order to increase the utilization efficiency of the diagnostic device, a large number of initial data for each individual are stored, and as the field of diagnosis increases, the storage capacity of the storage device becomes enormous.

As a result, diagnostic devices have become larger, requiring a larger installation area and causing problems in operability.

The present invention was created in view of these points, and it is possible to record the initial data of the device for an individual patient on an IC card, read it out in combination with the doctor's ID, and set the initial conditions in the diagnostic device. The purpose is to provide a method that can be used.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, an IC card that stores initial data corresponding to the patient, a card input device that reads the doctor's ID card, and a control that selects the initial data of the IC card and sets the initial data. The diagnostic device is equipped with a circuit.

[Effect]

The doctor's ID and initial data such as the optimal STC, gain, dynamic range, etc. operated and set by the doctor are recorded on an IC card, which the patient carries.

One ultrasound diagnostic device can be used for obstetrics and gynecology, cardiac, abdominal,
Because it is versatile, such as for mammary glands, doctors in their field
Insert the patient's IC card and your own ID card into the card insertion machine.

Initial data of the medical examination field of the doctor in charge stored in the IC card is selected, and initial settings based on the data are automatically performed by the control circuit.

In this way, settings for each individual (patient) and each field of diagnosis can be easily made on the diagnostic device, and as a result, the circuitry of the diagnostic device can be simplified and the operability can be improved.

〔Example〕

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

Note that the same reference numerals indicate the same objects throughout the figures.

In the figure, 6A is a control circuit, and 9A is a card insertion machine 9A that inserts and reads IC and ID cards.

The diagnostic device receives the doctor's ID by inputting the patient's IC card and the doctor's ID card through the card input machine 9A.
reads the initial data of the diagnostic device stored in the patient's IC card, and sets the initial conditions of each circuit through the control circuit 6A.

The IC card usually stores the patient's ID and initial data such as the optimum STC, gain, dynamic range, etc. set by the respective doctor in charge of the patient's diagnosis by operating the diagnostic device.

That is, since the internal structure of the patient's body differs among patients, it is necessary for the doctor to set the initial conditions of the diagnostic device for each patient and for each examination.

However, the initial conditions of the diagnostic device that have been personally set do not need to be changed for a significant period of time.

Therefore, the initial conditions of the diagnostic device are stored in an IC card, and the conditions under which the diagnostic device is set are stored in an IC card, which the patient carries and inputs the ID of the doctor in charge at the time of diagnosis. Conditions are automatically set and the diagnostic device can be prepared in a short time.

It goes without saying that a device for storing the initial conditions of the diagnostic device set in the first diagnosis on an IC card can be easily attached to the diagnostic device.

Additionally, the doctor's ID may be entered from the keyboard;
The doctor's ID used for selection from the C card is the doctor's I.
It is clear that the ID is not limited to D, and a key code may be set and used in place of the ID.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the initial data of the diagnostic device is stored in the patient's IC card, and by inputting the doctor's ID card, the diagnostic device is used in the field of examination for which the doctor is responsible. Initial conditions can be automatically set, which greatly contributes to improving the operability and simplification of diagnostic equipment, and is extremely useful in practice.
