In particular, in the case of image transmission, closed circuit cameras (CCTVs) are installed in each operating room and intensive care unit to monitor only in a limited area. If necessary, wired cables are separately installed in auditoriums and additional expensive equipment such as beam projectors. There is a problem that is used for educational purposes, and the measurement information transmission system also requires a separate server to be used in order to use a wide area communication network, so there is a burden on the use due to the cost of the initial investment, separate piping and wiring, In the case of additional equipment, there is a problem that the inconvenience caused by the expansion is increased.

On the other hand, efforts are being made to integrate and operate the medical image transmission system and the measurement information transmission system described above, but it is not an integrated system using a practical network, but is a complex configuration of existing facilities in a comprehensive situation room. It can be said that it is an inadequate technology step to solve problems.

Therefore, there is a need for a new system that utilizes image monitoring and measurement information for a large number of authorized personnel through an integrated transmission of medical images and measurement information and a wide area network.

In line with this, in Korean Patent Application Publication No. 2003-001295, the Korean Intellectual Property Office has been devised to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art. Provides real-time data (medical image and measurement information) to doctors and authorized personnel at remote sites by transmitting and storing video/audio information and measurement information collected from various medical equipment such as electrocardiograms to remote sites. It is possible to immediately check the status, and a medical education institution in a remote place has proposed a system that can be used as a vivid audio-visual education material.

However, since this technology requires a remote control system, it requires a lot of cost and effort to build a system, and it is not easy for maintenance and handling.

On the other hand, in recent years, due to the development of medical equipment, there are many cases where a patient's internal affected area is photographed. Such medical imaging equipment includes CT, MRI, X-RAY, US, ANGIO, COLPOSCOPY, and CERVICOGRAPHY, which are used in internal medicine, surgery, and gynecology.

In other words, a person with a lesion that cannot be directly identified by the eye, that is, a patient with a bone abnormality, a patient with an abnormality in an organ such as the stomach or intestines, or a seriously ill patient with a broken head or a serious illness. B. When it is not possible to perform examination using the hands and eyes, the medical imaging device as described above is used to photograph a predetermined portion of the patient.
