At this time, the software automatically creates the template by configuring the image regions in the template according to the currently displayed screen module when the short report button is clicked, and inserts the captured image matching each image region into the image regions of the created template. . For example, for the coronal image of the 3D/reconstruction module, capture the coronal image, create a template for the 3D/reconstruction module including the coronal region, and insert the captured coronal image into the coronal region. The software can insert captured images in the Fit on Image method to fit each image area of the template for each screen module.

When creating a template, the software can configure the size of each image area in a preset ratio to fit the paper on which the report will be printed. The software may insert the captured image to fit a preset proportion of the image area within the template. In this case, when the ratio of the image area in the template is fixed, separate editing may not be necessary.

While the software generates a report through the image capture and template insertion process of the captured image, a user interface showing the progress of the shortened report generation process may be provided (3). For example, as shown in FIG. 6 , a progress bar showing the progress and remaining amount is displayed on the screen. Accordingly, the user can recognize the progress and can increase intuition.

When the report generation is completed, the software may display a pop-up window notifying that the report has been generated on the screen as shown in FIG. 7 (4). Through a pop-up window, the user can recognize the completion of the process. At this time, if the user clicks the OK button of the pop-up window, the pop-up window disappears as shown in FIG. 8 and the current screen module remains (5). When the report generation is completed, the software can save the report file in the form of [screen module name_number].

If the current screen module is a TMJ module, matching captured images can be inserted in the left parallel area, scout area, right parallel area, left cross-section area, and right cross-section area of the template for TMJ module, respectively.

In the captured image arrangement step (S2030) and the shortened report generation step (S2040), the software may provide a user interface for showing the progress of the shortened report generation process. Accordingly, the user can recognize the progress status and the progress completion, thereby increasing intuition.

When the short report is generated, the software saves the generated short report, which can be saved in the form of a combination of screen module name and number. Then, the generated abbreviated report can be provided through the report module. In this case, by providing a comment area for manually recording comments in the generated shortened report, the user can freely input desired content.

The software may provide a screen for changing the template. For example, the software provides a list of configurable templates via a report module. In this case, when a user selects a predetermined template item from the provided template list, the template may be changed to the selected template item.

The software may provide a screen for editing the image area within the template. For example, the software provides a template editing screen for editing the image area in the template for each screen module through the report module. At this time, on the template editing screen, at least one of the type, number, size and position of each image area may be edited according to a user manipulation signal for a predetermined template.

The software may provide a screen for inserting a captured image within the template. For example, the software provides a list of templates and captured images via a report module. In this case, a user manipulation signal for clicking a predetermined captured image in the captured image list and dragging and dropping it to a predetermined image area on the template is input, and the captured image can be inserted into the desired image area in the template. Furthermore, when inserting the captured image, the captured image may be inserted according to the size of the image area in the template.

So far, the present invention has been looked at focusing on the embodiments thereof. Those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains will understand that the present invention can be implemented in modified forms without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the disclosed embodiments should be considered in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense. The scope of the present invention is indicated in the claims rather than the foregoing description, and all differences within the scope equivalent thereto should be construed as being included in the present invention.
