More particularly, the present invention relates to a diagnostic imaging apparatus, And a diagnostic image photographing apparatus for transmitting a diagnostic image to an external system using a wired or wireless network.
When a clinician diagnoses a patient in a hospital, a camera is used to photograph the diagnosis area to accurately determine the condition of the affected area. In dentistry, a camera for taking an oral cavity, for an otolaryngology, for a nasal cavity and a nasal cavity is used, and for a dermatologist, a camera for enlarging the skin surface is used.
On the other hand, the U-Healthcare industry has been attracting attention due to the development of IT technology and the spread of mobile devices, which allows the general public to receive medical services regardless of time and space constraints. Therefore, there is a continuing need for a telemedicine service that allows a general public to take a diagnostic part using a camera at home and transmit it to a clinician for clinical diagnosis.
In the dental field, the treatment time of the teeth is very important, but in the case of the early cavities, it is difficult to find by the naked eye and the pain is very rare, so it is very difficult for the general self to diagnose the dental clinic regularly. Which is a burden on the general public. Therefore, it is required to develop a technology for telemedicine services that can easily diagnose the dental health condition at home and induce dental visit treatment if necessary.
An object of the present invention is to provide a diagnostic image photographing apparatus capable of simply photographing a lesion in a home and transmitting a diagnostic image to an external system such as a hospital without an ordinary person visiting the hospital.
