In the post-filling type liquid syringe, the liquid medicine is filled into the liquid syringe exclusively by medical personnel at the medical site. However, manually filling the chemical syringe with the chemical solution has a large work load, and therefore the chemical syringe is filled with the chemical solution using a chemical solution filling apparatus.

On the basis of these data, the chemical filling device fills the chemical solution from the chemical solution container into the chemical solution syringe and transmits the chemical solution data and the syringe data to the chemical solution injection device. The chemical data includes data such as the type of chemical, whether it is for MR or CT, when it was used, and expiration date. Syringe data includes data such as the types of chemicals that can be used, whether it is for MR or CT, the intended use, capacity, material, and expiration date.

When the chemical solution injection device determines that the combination of the chemical solution and the syringe is appropriate based on the received data of the chemical solution filling device force, the chemical solution injection device injects the chemical solution such as a chemical syringe.

When injecting a chemical solution into a subject, the chemical injection device sets injection conditions such as the injection amount of the chemical solution to the subject. The injection amount is obtained based on the inspection conditions and corresponds to the filling amount of the chemical liquid filled in the chemical syringe with the chemical liquid filling device. However, the chemical injection device neither outputs the inspection conditions input to the chemical solution filling device nor the filling amount calculated by the chemical solution filling device to the outside as data. Therefore, the operator needs to input the same data to the chemical injection device as that input to the chemical filling device.
[0009] 一方、特許文献 2に記載された発明では、薬液充填装置が取得したデータが薬液 注入装置に送信されるので、薬液注入装置は薬液充填装置カゝら送信されたデータ を薬液の注入制御に利用することができる。  [0009] On the other hand, in the invention described in Patent Document 2, since the data acquired by the chemical solution filling device is transmitted to the chemical solution injection device, the chemical solution injection device uses the data transmitted from the chemical solution filling device to inject the chemical solution. Can be used for control.
[0010] しかし、特許文献 2に記載された発明では、薬液注入装置に実際に装着された薬 液シリンジがどのような薬液シリンジかにつ ヽては何もチェックされな 、。薬液充填装 置によって薬液が充填された薬液シリンジがそのまま薬液注入装置に装着される場 合は、特に問題は生じない。しかし、例えば、薬液充填装置で薬液が充填された薬 液シリンジを薬液注入装置に装着する前に、他の薬液シリンジが薬液注入装置に装 着された場合、薬液充填装置から送信されたデータは、実際に装着されている薬液 シリンジのものと相違することになる。 [0010] However, in the invention described in Patent Document 2, nothing is checked as to what kind of chemical syringe is actually installed in the chemical injector. When a chemical syringe filled with a chemical solution is installed in the chemical injection device as it is If this is the case, there will be no problem. However, for example, if another chemical syringe is attached to the chemical injection device before the chemical syringe filled with the chemical with the chemical filling device is attached to the chemical injection device, the data transmitted from the chemical filling device is It will be different from that of the actually installed chemical syringe.
[0011] そのような場合でも、特許文献 2に記載された薬液注入装置は、薬液充填装置から 送信されたデータに基づいて、他の薬液シリンジから薬液を注入する。その結果、被 験者に対して誤った注入条件で薬液が注入されることになる。  [0011] Even in such a case, the chemical solution injection device described in Patent Document 2 injects a chemical solution from another chemical solution syringe based on the data transmitted from the chemical solution filling apparatus. As a result, the drug solution is injected into the subject under incorrect injection conditions.

It is possible to greatly reduce the work burden on the operator. In addition, since the data sent to the chemical injection device is associated with the chemical syringe that is attached to the chemical injection device, it is based on the data of other chemical syringes not attached to the chemical injection device. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the injection of chemicals under wrong injection conditions.

[0030] 以下に、薬液充填装置 200および薬液注入装置 100について詳しく説明する。  [0030] Hereinafter, the chemical solution filling device 200 and the chemical solution injection device 100 will be described in detail.
[0031] まず、薬液充填装置 200について、図 1および図 1に示す薬液充填装置 200のブ ロック図である図 2を参照して説明する。  First, the chemical liquid filling device 200 will be described with reference to FIG. 1 which is a block diagram of the chemical liquid filling device 200 shown in FIG. 1 and FIG.
[0032] 薬液充填装置 200は、薬液シリンジ 500が着脱自在に装着され、装着された薬液 シリンジ 500内に薬液を充填する。薬液充填装置 200が薬液シリンジ 500に充填す る薬液の量は、ここで薬液が充填された薬液を薬液注入装置 100 (図 1参照)によつ て被験者に注入する薬液の量と等しい。したがって、薬液シリンジ 500への薬液の充 填量は、この透視画像撮像システム 1000による被験者の検査条件に応じて異なる。 [0032] In the chemical solution filling apparatus 200, the chemical solution syringe 500 is detachably attached, and the chemical solution syringe 500 attached is filled with the chemical solution. The amount of the chemical solution that the chemical solution filling device 200 fills the chemical solution syringe 500 is equal to the amount of the chemical solution that is injected into the subject by the chemical solution injection device 100 (see FIG. 1). Therefore, filling the chemical syringe 500 with chemical solution The filling amount varies depending on the examination condition of the subject by the fluoroscopic imaging system 1000.
[0033] このように、薬液を必要な量だけ薬液シリンジ 500に充填するため、薬液充填装置 200は、この薬液充填装置 200の動作全体を制御する充填制御ユニット 210と、充 填制御ユニット 210からの指令に基づいて薬液シリンジ 500を操作する充填動作機 構 220と、外部装置との間でデータの送受信を行うためのインターフェイス部の一つ であるリーダ Zライタ 230と、入力部 240と、表示部 250と、を有する。  [0033] Thus, in order to fill the chemical syringe 500 with a necessary amount of the chemical liquid, the chemical liquid filling apparatus 200 includes a filling control unit 210 that controls the entire operation of the chemical liquid filling apparatus 200, and a filling control unit 210. In response to this command, the filling operation mechanism 220 for operating the liquid syringe 500, the reader Z writer 230, which is one of the interface units for sending and receiving data to and from external devices, the input unit 240, and the display Part 250.
[0034] リーダ Zライタ 230は、 ICタグ 503に書き込まれているデータの読み出し、および IC タグ 503へのデータの書き込みを非接触で行う。したがって、リーダ Zライタ 230は、 薬液充填装置 200に薬液シリンジ 500が装着された状態にぉ 、て、薬液シリンジ 50 0に設けられた ICタグ 503が通信可能範囲内にあるような位置に配置される。  The reader Z writer 230 reads data written in the IC tag 503 and writes data into the IC tag 503 in a non-contact manner. Therefore, the reader Z writer 230 is arranged at a position where the IC tag 503 provided on the chemical syringe 500 is within the communicable range when the chemical syringe 500 is attached to the chemical filling device 200. The
[0035] 入力部 240は、キースィッチゃタツチパネルなどで構成することができ、操作者によ るデータの入力操作を受け付ける。入力部 240には、薬液シリンジ 500への薬液の 充填量を決定するのに用いる、検査条件に関するデータが入力される。  [0035] The input unit 240 can be configured by a key switch touch panel or the like, and accepts data input operations by an operator. In the input unit 240, data relating to the inspection conditions used to determine the amount of the chemical solution filled in the chemical syringe 500 is input.
[0036] 検査条件に関するデータは、主として被験者データ、薬液データおよび撮像条件 に分けられる。被験者データとしては、例えば、この薬液シリンジ 500に充填された薬 液が注入される被験者の体重、性別、身長、年齢などが挙げられる。薬液データとし ては、例えば、充填する薬液の種類、メーカ、品番、粘度、薬液が造影剤である場合 はそのョード含有濃度、さら〖こは、他の種類の薬剤である生理食塩水を併用するか 否か、などが挙げられる。撮像条件としては、被験者の撮像部位、撮像時間などが挙 げられる。  [0036] Data relating to examination conditions is mainly divided into subject data, drug solution data, and imaging conditions. The subject data includes, for example, the weight, sex, height, age, and the like of the subject into which the chemical liquid filled in the chemical syringe 500 is injected. The chemical data includes, for example, the type of chemical solution to be filled, manufacturer, product number, viscosity, if the chemical solution is a contrast medium, its concentration of sword, and Sarako uses other types of physiological saline. Or not. The imaging conditions include the subject's imaging site, imaging time, and the like.
[0037] 入力部 240からは、これらのうち少なくとも充填量を算出するのに必要なデータが 入力される。なお、シリンジデータも操作者によって入力部 240から入力するように薬 液充填装置 200が構成されてもよい。この場合、薬液充填装置 200は ICタグ 503か らのデータを読み出す必要はないので、データ送受信部は書き込みの機能を有する ライタであってもよい。  [0037] From the input unit 240, at least data necessary for calculating the filling amount is input. The liquid medicine filling device 200 may be configured so that syringe data is also input from the input unit 240 by the operator. In this case, since the chemical filling device 200 does not need to read data from the IC tag 503, the data transmitter / receiver may be a writer having a writing function.
[0038] 充填制御ユニット 210は、判定部 211と、演算部 212と、充填制御部 213と、データ ベース 214と、を有する。  The filling control unit 210 includes a determination unit 211, a calculation unit 212, a filling control unit 213, and a database 214.
[0039] 判定部 211は、リーダ Zライタ 230で読み出されたシリンジデータと、入力部 240か ら入力された検査条件に関するデータとから、薬液シリンジ 500への薬液の充填の 適否を判断する。薬液の充填の適否とは、例えば、薬液シリンジ 500が耐用期限(回 数)を超過していないかどうか、充填する薬剤がこの検査に適した薬剤であるかどうか 、および薬液シリンジ 500と薬剤との組み合わせが適切であるかどうかなどである。判 定の結果、不適と判断されれば、充填制御ユニット 210は、ブザー (不図示)や警告 ランプ (不図示)等によって警報を発し、以降の動作を停止する。一方、適切であると 判断されれば、判定部 211は、リーダ Zライタ 230で読み出されたシリンジデータお よび入力部 240から入力されたデータをそのまま演算部 212へ送る。 [0039] The determination unit 211 includes the syringe data read by the reader Z writer 230 and the input unit 240. From the data regarding the inspection conditions entered from the above, it is determined whether or not the chemical liquid filling the chemical syringe 500 is appropriate. The suitability of the chemical liquid filling includes, for example, whether or not the chemical syringe 500 has exceeded the expiration date (number of times), whether the chemical to be filled is a chemical suitable for this test, and the chemical syringe 500 and the chemical Whether or not the combination is appropriate. If it is determined as inappropriate as a result of the determination, the filling control unit 210 issues a warning by a buzzer (not shown), a warning lamp (not shown) or the like, and stops the subsequent operation. On the other hand, if it is determined to be appropriate, the determination unit 211 sends the syringe data read by the reader Z writer 230 and the data input from the input unit 240 to the calculation unit 212 as they are.
[0040] 演算部 212は、送られてきたデータに基づいて、薬液シリンジ 500への薬液の充填 量を算出する。薬液の充填量、すなわち被験者への薬液の注入量は、良好な画像 を撮像するのに最適な値が、被験者の体重、身長、性別、年齢などの被験者因子、 薬液の成分、物性などの薬液因子、および撮像部位、撮像時間などの撮像因子によ つて異なる。 [0040] The calculation unit 212 calculates the filling amount of the drug solution into the drug solution syringe 500 based on the sent data. The filling amount of the chemical solution, that is, the injection amount of the chemical solution into the subject, is optimal for capturing a good image.Subject factors such as the subject's weight, height, sex, and age, chemical components, chemical properties, etc. It depends on the imaging factors such as factors, imaging location and imaging time.
[0041] 例えば、薬液が造影剤である場合、良好な画像を得るために重要な因子の 1つが、 ョードの注入総量である。造影剤は、その種類によってョード含有濃度が異なってお り、違う種類の造影剤では、同じ量であってもそれに含まれるョード量は異なる。  [0041] For example, when the drug solution is a contrast medium, one of the important factors for obtaining a good image is the total injection amount of sodo. Contrast media have different odoid concentrations depending on the type, and different types of contrast media have different amounts of sodo contained in the same amount.
[0042] そこで、撮像部位ごとの係数データ、薬剤の種類ごとの有効成分データ (例えば造 影剤においては、造影剤の種類ごとのョード含有濃度データ)、および被験者の体 重、身長といった身体情報に対応した薬剤の注入総量データなどが、データベース 214に格納されている。  [0042] Therefore, coefficient data for each imaging region, active ingredient data for each type of drug (for example, in the case of a contrast agent, iodine-containing concentration data for each type of contrast medium), and physical information such as the body weight and height of the subject. The total injection amount data of the drug corresponding to the above is stored in the database 214.
[0043] 演算部 212は、データベース 214を参照しつつ、前述した検査条件に関するデー タを、こういった各種因子を考慮して予め決められた計算式に当てはめることによつ て、薬液の充填量を算出する。なお、演算部 212での薬液の充填量の算出手順は、 従来の薬液注入装置における薬液の注入量の算出手順と同じでよいので、ここでは 、具体的な計算式および計算手法などの説明は省略する。  [0043] The calculation unit 212 refers to the database 214, and applies the data regarding the above-described inspection conditions to a calculation formula determined in advance in consideration of these various factors. Calculate the amount. Note that the calculation procedure of the filling amount of the chemical solution in the calculation unit 212 may be the same as the calculation procedure of the injection amount of the chemical solution in the conventional chemical injection device, so here the specific calculation formulas and calculation methods are described. Omitted.
[0044] さらに演算部 212は、入力部 240から入力されたデータおよび演算部 212で算出 された充填量を、リーダ Zライタ 230を通じて ICタグ 503に追記する。既にこれらのデ ータが前回の充填時に記録されて 、る場合は、これらのデータを書き換える。 [0045] 充填制御部 213は、演算部 212で算出された充填量に基づいて、算出された充填 量だけ薬液シリンジ 500に薬液が充填されるように充填動作機構 220を制御する。 Furthermore, the calculation unit 212 adds the data input from the input unit 240 and the filling amount calculated by the calculation unit 212 to the IC tag 503 through the reader Z writer 230. If these data are already recorded at the previous filling, rewrite these data. [0045] Based on the filling amount calculated by the calculation unit 212, the filling control unit 213 controls the filling operation mechanism 220 so that the chemical solution syringe 500 is filled with the calculated filling amount.
[0046] 充填動作機構 220は、図 1に示すように、シリンダホルダ 221と、ピストンホルダ 222 とを有する。  As shown in FIG. 1, the charging operation mechanism 220 has a cylinder holder 221 and a piston holder 222.
[0047] シリンダホルダ 221には、薬液シリンジ 500のシリンダフランジ 501aを受け入れる円 弧状の凹部がその側面に形成されている。凹部は、シリンダフランジ 501aが載置さ れる載置面を有する段差状に形成されている。この載置面の上に、導管部 501bが 上向きとなるようにシリンダフランジ 501aを載せることによって、シリンダ 501がシリン ダホルダ 221に保持される。  [0047] The cylinder holder 221 is formed with an arc-shaped concave portion for receiving the cylinder flange 501a of the chemical liquid syringe 500 on its side surface. The recess is formed in a stepped shape having a placement surface on which the cylinder flange 501a is placed. The cylinder 501 is held by the cylinder holder 221 by placing the cylinder flange 501a so that the conduit portion 501b faces upward on the mounting surface.
[0048] ピストンホルダ 222は、シリンダホルダ 221の下方においてシリンダホルダ 221と対 向して配置され、シリンダホルダ 221から離れる方向(矢印 A方向)およびシリンダホ ルダ 221に接近する方向(矢印 B方向)に移動可能に設けられている。ピストンホル ダ 222も、シリンダホルダ 221と同様に、ピストン 502を受け入れる凹部が側面に形成 されている。ピストン 502は、そのピストンフランジ 502aをピストンホルダ 222の下側( シリンダホルダ 221と向き合う側と反対側)に位置させた状態で凹部に保持される。  [0048] The piston holder 222 is disposed below the cylinder holder 221 so as to face the cylinder holder 221, and in a direction away from the cylinder holder 221 (arrow A direction) and a direction approaching the cylinder holder 221 (arrow B direction). It is provided to be movable. As with the cylinder holder 221, the piston holder 222 is also formed with a recess on the side surface for receiving the piston 502. The piston 502 is held in the recess in a state where the piston flange 502a is positioned below the piston holder 222 (on the side opposite to the side facing the cylinder holder 221).
[0049] 上述のようにシリンダフランジ 501aおよびピストン 502を保持した状態で、ピストンホ ルダ 222を矢印 A方向に移動させることで、シリンダ 501からピストン 502が引き出さ れる。一方、ピストンホルダ 222を矢印 B方向に移動させることで、ピストン 502がシリ ンダ 501内に押し込まれる。  [0049] As described above, the piston 502 is pulled out from the cylinder 501 by moving the piston holder 222 in the direction of arrow A while holding the cylinder flange 501a and the piston 502. On the other hand, the piston 502 is pushed into the cylinder 501 by moving the piston holder 222 in the arrow B direction.
[0050] ピストンホルダ 502の移動には、ピストンホルダ 502を直線運動させることができる 機構であれば、例えばボールねじ機構など任意の駆動機構を用いることができる。ピ ストンホルダ 502の駆動機構としてボールねじ機構を用いる場合、ボールねじ軸をピ ストンホルダ 502の移動方向と平行に配するとともに、ボールねじ軸に螺合するボー ルねじナットにピストンホルダ 502を固定する。これにより、ボールねじ軸の回転に従 つて、ピストンホルダ 502をボールねじ軸の軸方向に移動させることができる。ボール ねじ軸の駆動源には、例えばステッピングモータを用いることができる。  [0050] For the movement of the piston holder 502, any driving mechanism such as a ball screw mechanism can be used as long as the mechanism can linearly move the piston holder 502. When a ball screw mechanism is used as a drive mechanism for the piston holder 502, the ball screw shaft is arranged in parallel with the moving direction of the piston holder 502, and the piston holder 502 is fixed to a ball screw nut that is screwed to the ball screw shaft. Thus, the piston holder 502 can be moved in the axial direction of the ball screw shaft as the ball screw shaft rotates. For example, a stepping motor can be used as a drive source for the ball screw shaft.
[0051] 薬液シリンジ 500への薬液の充填量は、シリンダ 221からピストン 222を引き出す方 向へ移動させたときの、シリンダ 221に対するピストン 222の移動量に比例する。した がって、充填制御部 213は、演算部 212で算出された充填量に対応した移動量だけ ピストンホルダ 222が移動するように充填動作機構を制御する。これによつて、薬液シ リンジ 500には、演算部 212で算出された量の薬液が充填される。 [0051] The filling amount of the chemical liquid into the chemical syringe 500 is proportional to the movement amount of the piston 222 relative to the cylinder 221 when the piston 222 is moved in the direction of pulling out the piston 222 from the cylinder 221. did Accordingly, the filling control unit 213 controls the filling operation mechanism so that the piston holder 222 moves by the movement amount corresponding to the filling amount calculated by the calculation unit 212. As a result, the chemical liquid syringe 500 is filled with the amount of chemical liquid calculated by the calculation unit 212.
[0052] 表示部 250には、入力部 240で入力された各種データや、演算部 212で算出され た充填量、充填動作の進拔状況などを、数値や画像などで表示することができる。本 実施形態では、図 1に示すように、薬液充填装置 200はタツチパネル 241を有してお り、これが図 2に示す入力部 240および表示部 250を兼ねている。  [0052] On the display unit 250, various data input by the input unit 240, the filling amount calculated by the calculation unit 212, the progress of the filling operation, and the like can be displayed as numerical values and images. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the chemical liquid filling device 200 has a touch panel 241 that also serves as the input unit 240 and the display unit 250 shown in FIG.
[0053] 上述した薬液充填装置 200では、薬液シリンジ 500をその導管部 501bが上向きと なるように鉛直方向に立てた状態で保持した例を示したが、保持された薬液シリンジ 500の向きは、水平方向や斜め方向など任意であってよい。また、薬液シリンジ 500 の操作についても、シリンダホルダ 221を固定しておきピストンホルダ 222を移動させ る例を示した力 ピストンホルダ 222を固定してシリンダホルダ 221を移動させるように してもよい。あるいは、シリンダホルダ 221およびピストンホルダ 222の双方を移動さ せるようにすることちでさる。  [0053] In the chemical solution filling device 200 described above, an example is shown in which the chemical solution syringe 500 is held in a vertical state so that the conduit portion 501b faces upward, but the orientation of the held chemical solution syringe 500 is as follows. It may be arbitrary such as a horizontal direction or an oblique direction. Further, regarding the operation of the chemical syringe 500, the force shown in the example in which the cylinder holder 221 is fixed and the piston holder 222 is moved may be fixed and the cylinder holder 221 may be moved by fixing the piston holder 222. Alternatively, both the cylinder holder 221 and the piston holder 222 can be moved.
[0054] さらに、充填制御ユニット 210は判定部 211を有している力 判定部 211は本発明 においては必須ではない。例えば、薬液シリンジ 500および薬液の適否については 操作者自身が判断してもいし、判断部 211の機能を演算部 212に組み込み、演算部 212での処理過程で適否を判断するようにしてもょ 、。  Further, the filling control unit 210 has a determination unit 211. The force determination unit 211 is not essential in the present invention. For example, the operator may determine whether or not the chemical syringe 500 and the chemical solution are appropriate, or the function of the determination unit 211 may be incorporated in the calculation unit 212 to determine whether or not the calculation unit 212 is appropriate. ,.
[0055] 次に、薬液注入装置 100について、図 3および図 4を参照して説明する。  Next, the chemical liquid injector 100 will be described with reference to FIG. 3 and FIG.
[0056] 薬液注入装置 100は、例えば図 3に示すように、スタンド 111に連結された可動ァ ーム 112の上部に取り付けられた注入ヘッド 110と、注入ヘッド 110とケーブル 102 によって接続されている注入制御ユニット 101とを有する。注入制御ユニット 101は、 入力部である操作パネル 103と、表示部 104と、ケーブル 108で接続されたノヽンドュ ニット 107とを有し、注入ヘッド 110の動作を制御する。  For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the chemical injection device 100 is connected to an injection head 110 attached to an upper portion of a movable arm 112 connected to a stand 111, and the injection head 110 and a cable 102. And an injection control unit 101. The injection control unit 101 includes an operation panel 103 that is an input unit, a display unit 104, and a node unit 107 connected by a cable 108, and controls the operation of the injection head 110.
[0057] 注入ヘッド 110は、図 4に示すように、一度に 2本の薬液シリンジ 500を装着できる ように、ヘッド本体 113に、それぞれシリンダ 501を保持する 2つの凹部 114が形成さ れている。ヘッド本体 113には、互いに独立して駆動される 2つのピストン駆動機構 1 30が、各凹部 114に対応して設けられている。ピストン駆動機構 130は、その先端部 でピストン 502のピストンフランジを保持できるように構成されて!、る。 [0057] As shown in Fig. 4, the injection head 110 is formed with two recesses 114 for holding the cylinders 501 in the head body 113 so that two chemical syringes 500 can be attached at a time. . The head body 113 is provided with two piston drive mechanisms 130 that are driven independently of each other, corresponding to the respective recesses 114. Piston drive mechanism 130 has its tip It is configured to hold the piston flange of piston 502!
[0058] 2本の薬液シリンジ 500が装着される場合、薬液シリンジ 500に充填されている薬 液としては、例えば、一方を造影剤、他方を生理食塩水とすることができる。ヘッド本 体 113に装着された 2本の薬液シリンジ 500は、連結チューブ 530により接続される。 連結チューブ 530には、先端部にカテーテル (不図示)が接続された延長チューブ( 不図示)が連結される。カテーテルを被験者に刺入した状態でピストン駆動機構 130 によりピストン 502をシリンダ 501に押し込むことで、造影剤の注入、生理食塩水の注 入、および両者の同時注入が可能となる。 [0058] When two drug solution syringes 500 are attached, for example, one of the drug solutions filled in the drug solution syringe 500 can be a contrast medium and the other can be physiological saline. Two chemical syringes 500 attached to the head body 113 are connected by a connecting tube 530. An extension tube (not shown) having a distal end portion connected to a catheter (not shown) is connected to the connection tube 530. By pushing the piston 502 into the cylinder 501 by the piston drive mechanism 130 with the catheter inserted into the subject, it is possible to inject contrast medium, inject physiological saline, and simultaneously inject both.
[0059] さらに、ヘッド本体 113には、薬液シリンジ 500に設けられた ICタグ 503に書き込ま れているデータの読み出しおよび ICタグ 503へのデータの書き込みを非接触で行う リーダ Zライタ 140が、各薬液シリン 500の装着位置に対応して設けられている。リー ダ Zライタ 140は、外部装置、具体的には薬液充填装置 200との間でデータの送受 信を行うためのインターフェイス部の一つである。 [0059] Further, in the head main body 113, a reader Z writer 140 that reads data written to the IC tag 503 provided in the chemical syringe 500 and writes data to the IC tag 503 in a non-contact manner is provided. It is provided corresponding to the mounting position of the chemical syring 500. The reader Z writer 140 is one of interface units for transmitting / receiving data to / from an external device, specifically, the chemical solution filling device 200.
[0060] 上述した薬液注入装置 100についてさらに、各部の機能に着目して図 5を参照して 説明する。なお,図 5では、薬液注入装置 100を CT装置 300および病院管理サー ノ 00 (いずれも図 1参照)と通信可能に接続するためのインターフェイスは省略して いる。 [0060] The above-described chemical injection device 100 will be further described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 5, the interface for connecting the chemical injection device 100 to the CT device 300 and the hospital management servo 00 (both see Fig. 1) is omitted.
[0061] 注入制御ユニット 101は、注入制御部 121および注入プロファイル格納部 122を有 している。薬液シリンジ 500が注入ヘッド 110に装着され、リーダ Zライタ 140が ICタ グ 503 (図 4参照)から各データを読み出すと、読み出された各データは、注入制御 部 121へ送られる。  The injection control unit 101 has an injection control unit 121 and an injection profile storage unit 122. When the chemical solution syringe 500 is attached to the injection head 110 and the reader Z writer 140 reads each data from the IC tag 503 (see FIG. 4), each read data is sent to the injection control unit 121.
[0062] この段階で注入制御部 121は、リーダ Zライタ 140が読み出した各データを表示部 104に数値や画像などで表示させるとともに、注入プロファイル格納部 122から注入 プロファイルを読み出す。リーダ Zライタ 140から送られるデータには、薬液充填装置 200 (図 1参照)で ICタグ 503に書き込まれた充填量のデータも含まれている。薬液 注入装置 100では、この充填量のデータを注入量のデータとして扱う。  At this stage, the injection control unit 121 displays each data read by the reader Z writer 140 on the display unit 104 as a numerical value or an image, and reads the injection profile from the injection profile storage unit 122. The data sent from the reader Z writer 140 includes the filling amount data written in the IC tag 503 by the chemical filling device 200 (see FIG. 1). In the chemical injection device 100, the filling amount data is handled as the injection amount data.
[0063] 注入プロファイル格納部 122には、薬液に応じた少なくとも 1つの注入プロファイル が格納されて 、る。注入プロファイルの例としては、 (1)注入速度が一定のプロファイル、 [0063] The infusion profile storage unit 122 stores at least one infusion profile corresponding to the chemical solution. Examples of injection profiles include (1) Profile with constant injection rate,
(2)注入速度が異なる複数の段階を有するプロファイル、  (2) a profile having a plurality of stages with different injection rates,
(3)少なくとも 1つの段階(1つのみの場合を含む)として造影剤と生理食塩水の同時 注入段階を有するプロファイル、  (3) a profile having a simultaneous injection phase of contrast medium and saline as at least one stage (including only one),
(4)少なくとも 1つの段階(1つのみの場合を含む)として注入開始からの経過時間に 対して注入速度が変化する段階を有するプロファイル、および  (4) a profile having at least one stage (including only one) having a stage where the infusion rate changes with respect to the elapsed time from the start of the infusion, and
(5)少なくとも 1つの段階(1つの段階のみの場合を含む)として注入開始力もの経過 時間に対して注入圧力が変化する段階を含むプロファイル、  (5) A profile including a stage in which the injection pressure changes with respect to the elapsed time of the injection start force as at least one stage (including the case of only one stage),
などが挙げられる。いずれの場合でも、薬液の注入が所定の時間で完了するように、 注入速度の変化率が決定される。  Etc. In either case, the rate of change of the injection rate is determined so that the injection of the chemical solution is completed in a predetermined time.
[0064] 少なくとも 1つの段階(1つのみの場合を含む)として注入開始からの経過時間に対 して注入速度が変化する段階を有するプロファイルの好まし 、例としては、造影剤の 注入速度を注入開始力 ある時間までは線形に低下させ、それ以降は注入速度を 一定に維持または上昇させるプロファイル、少なくとも 1つの段階で造影剤の注入速 度を低下させ (例えば線形に)、その間同時に、生理食塩水の注入速度を上昇させる プロファイルが挙げられる。 [0064] A profile having at least one stage (including only one) having a stage in which the injection rate changes with respect to the elapsed time from the start of the injection is preferable. Injection start force A profile that linearly decreases until a certain time and thereafter maintains or increases the injection rate constant, and decreases the contrast agent injection rate (eg linearly) in at least one stage, while simultaneously Profiles that increase the rate of saline injection.
[0065] さらに注入制御部 121は、薬液シリンジ 500から得られた薬液の注入量のデータと 、注入プロファイル格納部 122から読み出した注入プロファイルとに基づいて、所定 の量の薬液が所定の時間で、かつ所定の注入プロファイルで被験者に注入されるよ うに薬液の注入条件を決定する。そして注入制御部 121は、決定した注入条件従つ た動作シーケンスでピストン駆動機構 130が動作するように、ピストン駆動機構 130を 制御する。  [0065] Furthermore, the injection control unit 121, based on the injection amount data of the chemical solution obtained from the chemical syringe 500, and the injection profile read from the injection profile storage unit 122, a predetermined amount of the chemical solution at a predetermined time. In addition, the injection condition of the chemical solution is determined so that the subject is injected with a predetermined injection profile. The injection control unit 121 controls the piston drive mechanism 130 so that the piston drive mechanism 130 operates in an operation sequence according to the determined injection condition.
[0066] 操作パネル 123は、注入開始ボタンを有している。操作者がこの注入開始ボタンを 操作することによって、注入制御部 121はピストン駆動機構 130を実際に動作させる 。なお、薬液ごとに複数の注入プロファイルが注入プロファイル格納部 122に格納さ れている場合、操作パネル 103はプロファイル選択ボタンをさらに有し、操作者がそ れらの注入プロファイルから 1つを選択できるようになつている。  [0066] The operation panel 123 has an injection start button. When the operator operates the injection start button, the injection control unit 121 actually operates the piston drive mechanism 130. When a plurality of injection profiles are stored in the injection profile storage unit 122 for each chemical solution, the operation panel 103 further includes a profile selection button, and the operator can select one of the injection profiles. It ’s like that.
[0067] 次に、上述した透視画像撮像システム 1000による透視画像の撮像手順を説明す る。 Next, a procedure for capturing a fluoroscopic image by the above-described fluoroscopic image capturing system 1000 will be described. The
[0068] まず、操作者は、空の薬液シリンジ 500、すなわち薬液が充填されて ヽな 、薬液シ リンジ 500、およびこの薬液シリンジ 500に充填する薬液が収容されて ヽる薬液容器 600を用意する。薬液シリンジ 500は、ピストン 502がシリンダ 501に最も押し込まれ た状態にある。なお、透視画像システム 1000を構成する薬液注入装置 100、薬液充 填装置 200、および CT装置 300等は既に用意されているものとする。  [0068] First, the operator prepares an empty chemical syringe 500, that is, a chemical syringe 500 that is filled with the chemical solution, and a chemical solution container 600 that contains the chemical solution to be filled in the chemical syringe 500. . The chemical syringe 500 is in a state where the piston 502 is pushed most into the cylinder 501. It is assumed that the chemical solution injection device 100, the chemical solution filling device 200, the CT device 300, and the like constituting the fluoroscopic image system 1000 are already prepared.
[0069] 次いで、操作者は、用意した空の薬液シリンジ 500を、導管部 501bを上に向けて 薬液充填装置 200に装着する。薬液シリンジ 500の装着後、操作者は、薬液容器 60 0と薬液シリンジ 500とをチューブ 610によって接続する。  [0069] Next, the operator attaches the prepared empty chemical solution syringe 500 to the chemical solution filling apparatus 200 with the conduit portion 501b facing upward. After the chemical solution syringe 500 is attached, the operator connects the chemical solution container 600 and the chemical solution syringe 500 with the tube 610.
[0070] 次 、で、操作者は、前述したような、薬液シリンジ 500への薬液の充填量を決定す るのに必要なデータを薬液充填装置 200のタツチパネル 241から入力する。その一 方で、薬液充填装置 200は、装着された薬液シリンジ 500の ICタグ 503に記録され ているシリンジデータを読み出す。  Next, the operator inputs data necessary for determining the filling amount of the chemical solution into the chemical solution syringe 500 from the touch panel 241 of the chemical solution filling apparatus 200 as described above. On the other hand, the chemical filling device 200 reads the syringe data recorded on the IC tag 503 of the chemical syringe 500 attached.
[0071] 薬液充填装置 200は、操作者により入力されたデータおよび ICタグ 503から読み 出したシリンジデータから、薬液シリンジ 500への薬液の充填の適否を判定する。そ の結果、適正と判定されれば、薬液充填装置 200は、入力されたデータを用いて薬 液シリンジ 500への薬液の充填量を算出し、算出結果に従って、薬液シリンジ 500に 薬液を充填する。  [0071] The chemical solution filling apparatus 200 determines whether or not the chemical solution is charged into the chemical solution syringe 500 based on the data input by the operator and the syringe data read from the IC tag 503. As a result, if determined to be appropriate, the chemical filling device 200 calculates the filling amount of the chemical liquid into the chemical syringe 500 using the input data, and fills the chemical syringe 500 with the chemical liquid according to the calculation result. .
[0072] 以下に、薬液シリンジ 500に薬液が充填されるまでの操作者による薬液充填装置 2 00の操作手順の一例を、薬液が造影剤である場合で説明する。  [0072] Hereinafter, an example of an operation procedure of the chemical liquid filling apparatus 200 by the operator until the chemical liquid syringe 500 is filled with the chemical liquid will be described in the case where the chemical liquid is a contrast medium.
[0073] 薬液シリンジ 500が薬液充填装置 200に装着され、リーダ Zライタ 230によって IC タグ 504のデータが読み出されると、タツチパネル 241には初期画面として薬液シリ ンジ 500の種類 (例えば、容量や用途)が表示される。併せて、タツチパネル 241に は、この薬液を注入しょうとする身体区分の模式画像も表示される。この身体区分の 模式画像は、人体を例えば「頭部」、「胸部」、「腹部」、「脚部」というように複数の区分 に分割して模式的に表した画像である。操作者は、これら模式画像のうち 1つに接触 することで 1つの身体区分を選択する。身体区分が選択されると、選択された身体区 分は暗転または色相の変化等によって、他の身体区分と視覚的に区別される。 [0074] 操作者が身体区分を選択すると、タツチパネル 241には選択された身体区分に応 じた撮像部位がさらに表示される。撮像部位とは、例えば、身体区分として「胸部」を 選択した場合は、「心臓部」および「肺部」である。撮像部位は、文字で表示されるよう にしてもょ 、し、撮像部位の特徴を図案化したアイコンと併せて表示されるようにして もよい。操作者は、これらの撮像部位のうち 1つに接触することで 1つの撮像部位を選 択する。撮像部位が選択されると、選択された撮像部位のみが画面上に残る。 [0073] When the chemical liquid syringe 500 is mounted on the chemical liquid filling device 200 and the data of the IC tag 504 is read by the reader Z writer 230, the touch panel 241 displays the type of the chemical liquid syringe 500 as an initial screen (for example, capacity and usage). Is displayed. At the same time, the touch panel 241 also displays a schematic image of the body segment to be injected with the chemical. The schematic image of the body section is an image schematically representing the human body divided into a plurality of sections such as “head”, “chest”, “abdomen”, and “leg”. The operator selects one body segment by touching one of these schematic images. When a body segment is selected, the selected body segment is visually distinguished from other body segments, such as by darkening or changing hue. [0074] When the operator selects a body section, the touch panel 241 further displays an imaging region corresponding to the selected body section. For example, when “chest” is selected as the body classification, the imaging region is “heart” and “lung”. The imaged part may be displayed in text, or may be displayed together with an icon that represents the characteristics of the imaged part. The operator selects one imaging part by touching one of these imaging parts. When an imaging part is selected, only the selected imaging part remains on the screen.
[0075] 次に、タツチパネル 241には、被験者の体重の入力画像が表示される。体重の入 力画像では、例えば、デフォルトとして標準体重をタツチパネル 241に表示させ、そ れを操作者が「 +」ボタンおよび「 」ボタンで増減させ、最終的に「確定」ボタンに接 触することによって、体重を入力することができる。あるいは、体重表示欄とともにテン キーをタツチパネル 241に表示させ、操作者がテンキーに接触することによって体重 を人力させることちできる。  Next, the touch panel 241 displays an input image of the subject's weight. In the weight input image, for example, the standard weight is displayed on the touch panel 241 as a default, and the operator increases or decreases it with the “+” and “” buttons, and finally touches the “confirm” button. You can enter your weight. Alternatively, the numeric keypad can be displayed on the touch panel 241 together with the weight display field, and the operator can manually push the weight by touching the numeric keypad.
[0076] 次に、タツチパネル 241には、薬液に関する情報を設定する画面が表示される。例 えば薬剤が造影剤である場合、造影剤のョード含有濃度は造影剤のメーカおよび品 番によって決まって 、るので、この薬液充填装置で充填する可能性のある造影剤の ョード含有濃度の一覧がボタンとしてタツチパネル 241に表示される。操作者が、こ れから充填しょうとする造影剤のョード含有濃度に対応するボタンに接触すること〖こ よって、ョード含有濃度が入力されることになる。または、メーカ名および品番の一覧 が表示され、一覧の中から操作者がメーカ名および品番を選択するようにしてもょ ヽ 。その場合は、薬液充填装置は、造影剤のメーカ名および品番に対応づけられたョ ード含有濃度に関するデータベースを有して 、る。  Next, on touch panel 241, a screen for setting information related to a chemical solution is displayed. For example, if the drug is a contrast agent, the contrast-containing concentration of the contrast agent is determined by the manufacturer and product number of the contrast agent. Is displayed on the touch panel 241 as a button. When the operator touches the button corresponding to the iodine content concentration of the contrast medium to be filled, the iodine content concentration is input. Alternatively, a list of manufacturer names and part numbers may be displayed, and the operator may select the manufacturer name and part number from the list. In that case, the chemical solution filling apparatus has a database regarding the concentration of the odor containing the correlates with the manufacturer name and product number of the contrast medium.
[0077] ここまでの段階で、入力された各項目はタツチパネル 241の画面上に表示されたま まになっており、操作者は、これまでに入力した項目を画面上で確認することができ る。タツチパネル 241には確認ボタンが表示され、操作者がこの確認ボタンに接触す ることによって、薬液充填装置 200は、前述したように薬液の充填の適否を判定し、 適正と判定されれば、薬液の充填量を算出する。  [0077] At this stage, each input item remains displayed on the touch panel 241 screen, and the operator can check the items input so far on the screen. . When a confirmation button is displayed on the touch panel 241 and the operator touches this confirmation button, the chemical solution filling device 200 determines whether or not the chemical solution is properly charged as described above. The filling amount of is calculated.
[0078] 充填量の算出後、算出された充填量およびスタートボタンがタツチパネル 241にさ らに表示される。操作者は、表示された充填量を確認し、スタートボタンに接触する。 充填動作機構 220が動作し、薬液シリンジ 500に薬液が充填される。 After calculating the filling amount, the calculated filling amount and the start button are further displayed on the touch panel 241. The operator confirms the displayed filling amount and touches the start button. The filling operation mechanism 220 operates to fill the chemical syringe 500 with the chemical solution.
[0079] 薬液の充填中は、薬液の充填中であることを操作者が視覚的に認識できるように、 薬液の充填状況をタツチパネル 241に表示することが好ま 、。その際の表示画像と しては、例えば、薬液シリンジ 500内に薬液が充填されていく様子をアニメーション表 示した画像、充填動作機構 220の動作に対応して薬液の充填量を示す数値が刻々 と増加して 、くような画像、またはこれらを組み合わせた画像等が挙げられる。 [0079] During filling of the chemical solution, it is preferable to display the filling state of the chemical solution on the touch panel 241 so that the operator can visually recognize that the chemical solution is being filled. As the display image at that time, for example, an image showing how the chemical liquid 500 is filled in the chemical syringe 500, and a numerical value indicating the filling amount of the chemical liquid corresponding to the operation of the filling operation mechanism 220 are shown. And the like, or a combination of these images.
[0080] 薬液が生理食塩水である場合は、上述したような詳細な設定は不要であり、充填量 をマニュアルで設定することもできる。そのためには、タツチパネル 241の初期画面に は、前述した薬液シリンジ 500の種類の他に、マニュアル操作ボタンが表示されるよう にしておく。操作者がマニュアル操作ボタンに接触すると、マニュアル操作モードに 移行する。マニュアル操作モードでは、例えば、設定する充填量を表す数値を、「 +」 ボタンおよび「 」ボタンとともに表示させ、操作者がこれらのボタンに適宜接触するこ とによって数値を増減させて充填量を設定するようにすることができる。または、「 +」 ボタンおよび「 」ボタンの代わりにテンキーボタンを表示させ、テンキーボタン力 数 値を直接入力することによって充填量を設定することもできる。充填量を設定したら、 操作者はタツチパネル 241上に表示されているスタートボタンに接触し、これによつて 充填動作が開始する。 [0080] When the drug solution is physiological saline, detailed setting as described above is not necessary, and the filling amount can be set manually. For this purpose, a manual operation button is displayed on the initial screen of the touch panel 241 in addition to the type of the chemical syringe 500 described above. When the operator touches the manual operation button, it shifts to manual operation mode. In the manual operation mode, for example, a numerical value indicating the filling amount to be set is displayed together with the “+” and “” buttons, and the operator touches these buttons appropriately to increase or decrease the numerical value and set the filling amount. To be able to. Alternatively, the filling amount can be set by displaying the numeric keypad instead of the “+” button and the “” button and directly entering the numeric value of the numeric keypad button. After the filling amount is set, the operator touches the start button displayed on the touch panel 241 and this starts the filling operation.
[0081] なお、薬液の充填中に、薬液シリンジ 500内へのエアの混入を検出するために、薬 液容器 600と薬液シリンジ 500とを接続するチューブ 610にエア検出センサ(不図示 )を設けることが好ましい。エア検出センサには、チューブ 610内にエアが存在してい る力否かを検出することができるものであれば、光学式、超音波式、および静電容量 式など任意の方式のセンサを用いることができる。いずれの方式も、チューブ 610内 にエアが存在して 、るときと存在して ヽな 、ときとでの特性変化、例えば光学式であ れば屈折率、反射率、透過率などといった光学特性の変化、超音波式であれば共振 特性の変化、静電容量式であれば静電容量の変化を検出することによって、チュー ブ 610内のエアの有無を検出する。  [0081] In addition, an air detection sensor (not shown) is provided in tube 610 connecting chemical solution container 600 and chemical syringe 500 in order to detect the mixing of air into chemical solution syringe 500 during the filling of chemical solution. It is preferable. As the air detection sensor, any type of sensor such as an optical type, an ultrasonic type, or a capacitance type may be used as long as it can detect whether or not air is present in the tube 610. be able to. In both methods, the air changes in the tube 610, and changes in the characteristics when the air is present, such as optical characteristics such as refractive index, reflectance, transmittance, etc. The presence or absence of air in the tube 610 is detected by detecting the change in the resonance characteristics in the case of the ultrasonic method, and the change in the capacitance in the case of the capacitance type.
[0082] 薬液の充填後、タツチパネル 241には、薬液の充填が完了した旨のメッセージおよ び確認ボタンが表示される。操作者が薬液の充填完了を確認し、確認ボタンに接触 すると、薬液充填装置 200は、入力されたデータおよび算出された充填量のデータ を薬液シリンジ 500の ICタグ 503に書き込む。 [0082] After filling the chemical solution, the touch panel 241 displays a message that the filling of the chemical solution is completed and a confirmation button. The operator confirms the completion of filling with the chemical and touches the confirmation button. Then, the chemical solution filling apparatus 200 writes the input data and the calculated filling amount data into the IC tag 503 of the chemical solution syringe 500.
[0083] データの書き込みが終了したら、操作者は、薬液が充填された薬液シリンジ 500を 薬液充填装置 200から取り外し、薬液注入装置 100の注入ヘッド 110に装着する。 また、操作者は、薬液シリンジ 500に連結チューブ 530を介して(1本の薬液シリンジ 500のみが装着されて ヽる場合は直接)延長チューブを接続し、延長チューブの先 端に設けられているカテーテルを被験者に刺入する。  When the data writing is completed, the operator removes the chemical liquid syringe 500 filled with the chemical liquid from the chemical liquid filling apparatus 200 and attaches it to the injection head 110 of the chemical liquid injection apparatus 100. Further, the operator connects the extension tube to the chemical syringe 500 via the connecting tube 530 (directly when only one chemical syringe 500 is attached), and is provided at the end of the extension tube. A catheter is inserted into the subject.
[0084] 次 、で、操作者は、必要に応じて注入プロファイルを選択する。一方、注入ヘッド 1 10は、装着された薬液シリンジ 500の ICタグ 503に記録されているデータを読み出 す。薬液注入装置 100は、 ICタグ 503から読み出されたデータに基づいて、予め決 められた所定の注入プロファイルまたは操作者が選択した注入プロファイルによる薬 液の注入が行われるように、薬液の注入条件を決定する。  [0084] Next, the operator selects an injection profile as needed. On the other hand, the injection head 110 reads data recorded on the IC tag 503 of the chemical syringe 500 attached. Based on the data read from the IC tag 503, the chemical injection device 100 injects the chemical so as to inject the chemical according to a predetermined injection profile determined in advance or an injection profile selected by the operator. Determine the conditions.
[0085] 薬液の注入条件が決定されたら、操作者は、入力部 123の注入開始ボタンを操作 する。これによつて、ピストン駆動機構 130は決定された注入条件に従った動作シー ケンスで駆動され、薬液シリンジ 500内の薬液が被験者に注入される。  [0085] When the injection condition of the chemical solution is determined, the operator operates the injection start button of the input unit 123. As a result, the piston drive mechanism 130 is driven with an operation sequence according to the determined injection conditions, and the drug solution in the drug solution syringe 500 is injected into the subject.
[0086] 薬液の注入後、注入制御部 121は、リーダ Zライタ 140を通じて、薬液の注入が完 了したことを示すデータを ICタグ 503に書き込む。これは薬液シリンジ 500の使用履 歴を管理するためである。だたし、薬液シリンジ 500の使用履歴は、薬液充填装置 2 00によって ICタグ 503に書き込まれたデータを参照することによつても代用できるの で、薬液注入装置 100による ICタグ 503へのデータの書き込みは省略することもでき る。また、薬液シリンジ 500の使用履歴は、薬液充填装置 200にデータベースを構成 し、薬液充填装置 200で管理することもできる。  After injection of the chemical solution, injection control unit 121 writes data indicating that the injection of the chemical solution is completed to IC tag 503 through reader Z writer 140. This is to manage the usage history of the chemical syringe 500. However, the usage history of the chemical syringe 500 can be substituted by referring to the data written in the IC tag 503 by the chemical filling device 200, so the data to the IC tag 503 by the chemical injection device 100 is also available. The writing of can also be omitted. Further, the usage history of the chemical syringe 500 can be managed by the chemical solution filling apparatus 200 by configuring a database in the chemical solution filling apparatus 200.
[0087] 被験者への薬液の注入後、薬液注入装置 100の注入制御ユニット 101から CT装 置 300の撮像制御ユニット 302へ信号が送られ、撮像制御ユニット 302からの制御信 号に基づいて撮像ユニット 301は被験者の透視画像を撮像する。 CT装置 300にて 撮像された画像は、直接または薬液注入装置 100を介して病院管理サーバ 400へ 送られる。病院管理サーバ 400は、そのデータベースに CT検査結果を記録する。一 方、薬液注入装置 100の注入制御ユニット 101は、リーダ Zライタ 140から読み出し た各種データ、薬液の注入時間、注入速度、注入圧力などカゝら選ばれる薬液注入デ ータを病院管理サーノ OOに送信する。したがって、病院管理サーバ 400のデータ ベースには、 CT検査結果とともに、薬液の注入条件も記録される。 [0087] After injecting the chemical liquid into the subject, a signal is sent from the injection control unit 101 of the chemical liquid injection apparatus 100 to the imaging control unit 302 of the CT apparatus 300, and the imaging unit is based on the control signal from the imaging control unit 302. 301 captures a fluoroscopic image of the subject. The image picked up by the CT apparatus 300 is sent to the hospital management server 400 directly or via the drug solution injector 100. The hospital management server 400 records the CT examination result in the database. On the other hand, the injection control unit 101 of the chemical injection device 100 reads out from the reader Z writer 140. Various data, chemical injection time, injection speed, injection pressure, etc. are selected and sent to the hospital management sano OO. Therefore, in the database of the hospital management server 400, the injection condition of the chemical solution is recorded together with the CT test result.
[0088] また、 CT装置 300から薬液注入装置 100に、 CT撮像条件データ (放射線量、放 射線照射タイミング等の曝射条件等)が送信され、薬液注入装置 100は、病院管理 サーバ 400に送信するデータとして、上記の撮像条件データを付加するようにしても よい。 CT撮像条件データは、 CT装置 300から直接、病院管理サーバ 400に送信し てもよい。 [0088] Also, CT imaging condition data (such as radiation conditions and exposure conditions such as radiation irradiation timing) is transmitted from the CT apparatus 300 to the chemical injection apparatus 100, and the chemical injection apparatus 100 transmits to the hospital management server 400. The above imaging condition data may be added as data to be performed. The CT imaging condition data may be transmitted directly from the CT apparatus 300 to the hospital management server 400.
[0089] 以上説明したように、薬液充填装置 200は、検査条件に関するデータを用いて薬 液シリンジ 500への薬液の充填量を算出し、薬液シリンジ 500には薬液が必要な量 だけ充填されるので、薬液の無駄をなくすることができる。  [0089] As described above, the chemical liquid filling device 200 calculates the filling amount of the chemical liquid into the chemical syringe 500 using the data relating to the inspection conditions, and the chemical liquid syringe 500 is filled with the necessary amount of the chemical liquid. Therefore, the waste of chemicals can be eliminated.
[0090] また、薬液シリンジ 500に充填された薬液の量は薬液シリンジ 500に設けられた IC タグ 503に書き込まれ、薬液注入装置 100は、 ICタグ 503に書き込まれたデータを 読み出すように構成されている。そのため、薬液注入装置 100では薬液の注入量を 算出する必要はなぐしたがって、注入量を算出するのに必要なデータを操作者が 薬液注入装置 100に入力する必要もない。このように、薬液シリンジ 500に薬液を充 填するのに用いたデータを薬液注入装置 100による薬液の注入にも利用することで 、操作者の作業負担を大幅に軽減することができる。  [0090] The amount of the chemical liquid filled in the chemical syringe 500 is written to the IC tag 503 provided in the chemical syringe 500, and the chemical injection device 100 is configured to read the data written to the IC tag 503. ing. Therefore, the chemical injection device 100 does not need to calculate the injection amount of the chemical solution, and therefore the operator does not need to input data necessary to calculate the injection amount into the chemical injection device 100. In this way, by using the data used to fill the chemical liquid syringe 500 with the chemical liquid for the chemical liquid injection by the chemical liquid injection device 100, the work burden on the operator can be greatly reduced.
[0091] さらに、薬液シリンジ 500への薬液の充填量のデータ(言い換えると被験者への薬 液の注入量のデータ)は、薬液シリンジ 500に設けられた ICタグ 503に書き込まれて いる。したがって、薬液注入装置 100は、確実に、薬液注入装置 100に実際に装着 されて!/、る薬液シリンジ 500につ!/、てのデータに基づ!/、て薬液の注入条件を決定し 、その注入条件で薬液を注入することができる。その結果、被験者に対して誤った注 入条件で薬液が注入されるのを防止することができる。  [0091] Further, data on the filling amount of the chemical solution into the chemical solution syringe 500 (in other words, data on the injection amount of the chemical solution to the subject) is written in the IC tag 503 provided in the chemical solution syringe 500. Therefore, the chemical injection device 100 is surely attached to the chemical injection device 100! /, And the chemical injection syringe 500! The chemical solution can be injected under the injection conditions. As a result, it is possible to prevent the medicinal solution from being injected into the subject under an incorrect injection condition.
[0092] 本形態では、薬液充填装置 200で薬液シリンジ 500に充填する薬液の量を算出す るのに必要なデータは全て、 ICタグ 503に書き込まれたデータと入力部 240から入 力されるデータとから与えられる例を示した。しかし、これらのデータの一部を、病院 管理サーノ 400のデータベースに記録しておき、必要に応じて病院管理サーノ 400 に記録されて 、るこれらのデータを読み出すことができるように、薬液充填装置 200と 病院管理サーバ 400とを相互に通信可能に接続してもよい(図 1に一点鎖線で示す) [0092] In this embodiment, all the data necessary for calculating the amount of the chemical liquid to be filled in the chemical liquid syringe 500 by the chemical liquid filling device 200 is input from the data written in the IC tag 503 and the input unit 240. An example given from the data. However, a part of these data is recorded in the hospital management Sano 400 database, and if necessary, the hospital management Sano 400 is recorded. The medical solution filling device 200 and the hospital management server 400 may be connected so as to be able to communicate with each other so that these data can be read out (shown by a one-dot chain line in FIG. 1).
[0093] このように、一部のデータをデータベースとして予め用意しておくことで、 ICタグ 503 に書き込まれるデータ量、および操作者によるデータの入力作業を削減することがで きる。 Thus, by preparing a part of data as a database in advance, the amount of data written to the IC tag 503 and the data input operation by the operator can be reduced.
[0094] データベースとして用意しておくことのできるデータは、あるデータが分かっていた 場合に、そのデータ力も特定できるデータである。シリンジデータの場合、薬液シリン ジ 500の固有識別番号 (例えば品番とシリアル番号)が分かれば、他のデータは固有 識別番号カゝら特定することができる。薬液データの場合も同様に、薬液の固有識別 番号 (例えば、品番とロット番号)が分かれば、他のデータは固有識別番号力も特定 することができる。  [0094] Data that can be prepared as a database is data that can also specify the data power when certain data is known. In the case of syringe data, if the unique identification number (for example, product number and serial number) of the chemical syringe 500 is known, other data can be identified from the unique identification number. Similarly, in the case of chemical data, if the unique identification number (for example, product number and lot number) of the chemical is known, the other data can also identify the unique identification number power.
[0095] こう 、つた固有識別番号力も特定することのできるデータを記録しておくデータべ一 スは、病院管理サーバ 400ではなぐ薬液充填装置 200または薬液注入装置 100が 有していてもよい。ただし、病院管理サーノ 00には、被験者に関するデータはもち ろん、薬液注入装置 100、薬液充填装置 200、および CT装置 300などの各設備に 関するデータも記録されているので、データの一元管理が可能となる。さらには、薬 液シリンジ 500の使用履歴についても病院管理サーノ 00で管理することもできる。  [0095] As described above, the medical solution filling device 200 or the chemical solution injection device 100 that is not included in the hospital management server 400 may have a data base for recording data that can also specify the unique identification number power. However, the hospital management Sano 00 records not only data on the subject but also data on each equipment such as the chemical injection device 100, the chemical filling device 200, and the CT device 300. It becomes possible. Furthermore, the usage history of the chemical syringe 500 can also be managed by the hospital management Sano 00.
[0096] 薬液充填装置 200と病院管理サーバ 400とを通信可能に接続する場合、薬液充 填装置 200は、例えば図 6に示すように、データ送受信部として、リーダ Zライタ 230 の他にインターフェイス 260をさらに有する構成とすることができる。病院管理サーバ 400 (図 1参照)は、インターフェイス 260を介してデータを送受信可能に接続されて いる。  [0096] When the chemical solution filling device 200 and the hospital management server 400 are connected so as to be communicable, the chemical solution filling device 200 serves as a data transmission / reception unit in addition to the reader Z writer 230, as shown in FIG. It can be set as the structure which further has. The hospital management server 400 (see FIG. 1) is connected via an interface 260 so that data can be transmitted and received.
[0097] 病院管理サーバ 400と薬液充填装置 200との接続方式は有線接続であってもよ ヽ し、無線接続であってもよい。有線接続の場合、インターフェイス 260としては例えば ケーブルコネクタを用いることができる。無線接続の場合は、インターフェイス 260とし て例えば無線データ通信機を用いることができる。  [0097] The connection method between the hospital management server 400 and the drug solution filling apparatus 200 may be a wired connection or a wireless connection. In the case of wired connection, for example, a cable connector can be used as the interface 260. In the case of wireless connection, for example, a wireless data communication device can be used as the interface 260.
[0098] なお、図 6に示す例では、演算部 212が判定部の機能も有する場合を示している。 従って、リーダ Zライタ 230で読み出されたデータおよび入力部 240から入力された データは演算部 212に送られ、ここで薬液の充填の適否を判定し、充填量を算出す る。演算部 212へ送られるデータは、シリンジの固有識別番号および薬液の固有識 別番号の少なくとも一方を含んでいる。演算部 212は、送られてきた固有識別番号に 対応するデータを、インターフェイス 260を介して病院管理サーノ 00から呼び出し 、充填量の算出に利用する。充填制御ユニット 210でのそれ以外の処理については 図 2の場合と同様なので、ここではその説明は省略する。 Note that the example shown in FIG. 6 shows a case where the calculation unit 212 also has the function of a determination unit. Therefore, the data read by the reader Z writer 230 and the data input from the input unit 240 are sent to the calculation unit 212, where the suitability of the chemical solution filling is determined and the filling amount is calculated. The data sent to the calculation unit 212 includes at least one of a unique identification number of the syringe and a unique identification number of the drug solution. The calculation unit 212 calls the data corresponding to the sent unique identification number from the hospital management Sano 00 via the interface 260 and uses it for calculating the filling amount. Since other processes in the filling control unit 210 are the same as those in the case of FIG. 2, the description thereof is omitted here.
[0099] また、本形態では、薬液充填装置 200による薬液の充填量を、演算部 212での算 出によって求めた例を示した力 データベース 214力 充填制御ユニット 210に入力 された各検査条件に対応する種々の充填量データを有している場合は、演算部 212 は計算ではなくデータベース 214を参照するだけで薬液の充填量を求めることがで きる。 [0099] Further, in the present embodiment, the filling amount of the chemical solution by the chemical solution filling device 200 is shown in the force database 214 that shows an example obtained by the calculation in the calculation unit 212. For each inspection condition input to the force filling control unit 210, In the case of having various corresponding filling amount data, the calculation unit 212 can obtain the filling amount of the chemical solution only by referring to the database 214 instead of the calculation.

[0101] 第 1の実施形態では、薬液シリンジ 500の固有識別番号を記録しているデータキヤ リアが追記または書き換え可能である場合を説明した。本実施形態では、データキヤ リアとしてバーコード 504が薬液シリンジ 500に設けられている。バーコード 504には シリンジデータが記録されており、記録されているデータの変更はできない。  [0101] In the first embodiment, the case where the data carrier in which the unique identification number of the drug solution syringe 500 is recorded can be additionally written or rewritten has been described. In the present embodiment, a barcode 504 is provided in the chemical syringe 500 as a data carrier. Barcode 504 contains syringe data, and the recorded data cannot be changed.
[0102] 薬液シリンジ 500にバーコード 504が設けられていることに伴い、薬液充填装置 20 0は、バーコード 504に記録されているデータを読み出すためのリーダ 270を有して いる。同様に薬液注入装置 100も、バーコード 504に記録されているデータを読み出 すためのリーダ 150を有している。  [0102] Along with the provision of the barcode 504 on the chemical syringe 500, the chemical filling device 200 has a reader 270 for reading data recorded on the barcode 504. Similarly, the chemical injection device 100 also has a reader 150 for reading data recorded in the barcode 504.
[0103] さらに、薬液充填装置 200と薬液注入装置 100とはデータ通信可能に接続されて いる。そのため、薬液充填装置 200および薬液注入装置 100はそれぞれ、データ送 受信部としてインターフェイス 280、 160を有しており、これらインターフェイス 280、 1 60を介して、薬液充填装置 200と薬液注入装置 100との間でデータの送受信が行 われる。薬液充填装置 200と薬液注入装置 100との接続方式は有線接続であっても よいし、無線接続であってもよい。有線接続の場合、インターフェイス 280、 160とし ては例えばケーブルコネクタを用いることができる。無線接続の場合は、インターフエ イス 280、 160として例えば無線データ通信機を用いることができる。 [0103] Furthermore, the chemical solution filling device 200 and the chemical solution injection device 100 are connected so that data communication is possible. Yes. Therefore, each of the chemical solution filling device 200 and the chemical solution injection device 100 has interfaces 280 and 160 as data transmission / reception units, and the chemical solution filling device 200 and the chemical solution injection device 100 are connected via these interfaces 280 and 160, respectively. Data is sent and received between them. The connection method between the chemical solution filling device 200 and the chemical solution injection device 100 may be wired connection or wireless connection. In the case of wired connection, for example, cable connectors can be used as the interfaces 280 and 160. In the case of wireless connection, for example, a wireless data communication device can be used as the interfaces 280 and 160.
[0104] 薬液充填装置 200および薬液注入装置 100について、主として第 1の実施形態と の相違点を中心に説明する。以下の説明では、第 1の実施形態と同様の事項につい ては省略する。 [0104] The chemical liquid filling device 200 and the chemical liquid injection device 100 will be described mainly focusing on differences from the first embodiment. In the following description, items similar to those in the first embodiment are omitted.
[0105] 薬液充填装置 200では、リーダ 270で読み出したシリンジデータは、演算部 212に 送られる。演算部 212は、リーダ 270から送られたシリンジデータおよび入力部 240 力も入力されたデータに基づいて、薬液の充填の適否を判定し、充填量を算出する 。充填量が算出されたら、演算部 212は、リーダ 270で読み出したシリンジデータ、入 力部 240から入力されたデータ、および算出した充填量のデータを、インターフェイ ス 280を介して薬液注入装置 100へ送信する。  In the chemical solution filling apparatus 200, the syringe data read by the reader 270 is sent to the calculation unit 212. Based on the syringe data sent from the reader 270 and the input data of the input unit 240, the calculation unit 212 determines the suitability of the chemical solution filling and calculates the filling amount. When the filling amount is calculated, the calculation unit 212 sends the syringe data read by the reader 270, the data inputted from the input unit 240, and the calculated filling amount data via the interface 280 to the chemical solution injection device 100. Send to.
[0106] 薬液注入装置 100では、薬液充填装置 200から送信されたデータ力 インターフエ イス 160を介して受信され、注入制御部 121へ送られる。  The chemical liquid injector 100 receives the data via the data force interface 160 transmitted from the chemical liquid filler 200 and sends it to the injection controller 121.
[0107] 一方、薬液充填装置 200によって薬液が充填された薬液シリンジ 500は、薬液充 填装置 200から取り外され、薬液注入装置 100に装着される。薬液シリンジ 500が薬 液注入装置 100に装着されると、リーダ 150は、薬液シリンジ 500に設けられたバー コード 504からシリンジデータを読み出す。リーダ 150で読み出されたシリンジデータ は、注入制御部 121へ送られる。  On the other hand, the chemical syringe 500 filled with the chemical solution by the chemical solution filling apparatus 200 is removed from the chemical solution filling apparatus 200 and attached to the chemical solution injection apparatus 100. When the chemical syringe 500 is attached to the chemical injector 100, the reader 150 reads the syringe data from the bar code 504 provided on the chemical syringe 500. The syringe data read by the reader 150 is sent to the injection control unit 121.
[0108] 注入制御部 121は、リーダ 150から送られたシリンジデータと、インターフェイス 160 を介して薬液充填装置 200から送信されたシリンジデータとを比較する。比較の結果 、両者のシリンジデータが異なっていれば、薬液注入装置 100に装着された薬液シリ ンジ 500が異なる旨を警報として発する。両者のシリンジデータが一致して 、れば、 第 1の実施形態と同様に薬液の注入条件を決定し、決定した注入条件に従った動作 シーケンスでピストン駆動機構 130が動作するようにピストン駆動機構 130を制御す る。 The injection control unit 121 compares the syringe data sent from the reader 150 with the syringe data sent from the drug solution filling apparatus 200 via the interface 160. If the two syringe data are different as a result of the comparison, a warning is given that the chemical syringe 500 attached to the chemical injector 100 is different. If both syringe data match, the injection condition of the chemical solution is determined as in the first embodiment, and the operation according to the determined injection condition is performed. The piston drive mechanism 130 is controlled so that the piston drive mechanism 130 operates in the sequence.
[0109] 以上のように、追記または書き換えができないデータキャリアを用いた場合であって も、薬液充填装置 200と薬液注入装置 100とを相互にデータ通信可能に接続するこ とで、薬液シリンジ 500に薬液を充填するのに用!、たデータを薬液注入装置 100に よる薬液の注入に利用することができる。その結果、操作者の作業負担が大幅に軽 減される。  [0109] As described above, even when a data carrier that cannot be additionally written or rewritten is used, the chemical solution filling device 200 and the chemical solution injection device 100 are connected to each other so as to be able to perform data communication. This data can be used to inject chemicals with the chemical injection device 100. As a result, the burden on the operator is greatly reduced.
[0110] また、薬液注入装置 100は、実際に装着されている薬液シリンジ 500のシリンジデ ータを読み出すので、実際に装着されている薬液シリンジ 500に対応した注入条件 で薬液を注入することができる。その結果、被験者に対して誤った注入条件で薬液 が注入されるのを防止することができる。  [0110] In addition, since the chemical solution injector 100 reads the syringe data of the actually installed chemical solution syringe 500, the chemical solution can be injected under injection conditions corresponding to the actually installed chemical solution syringe 500. . As a result, it is possible to prevent the chemical solution from being injected into the subject under an incorrect injection condition.
[0111] 本実施形態では、データキャリアとしてバーコード 504を用いた力 データキャリアと しては二次元コードを用いることもできる。また、薬液シリンジ 500の固有識別番号を 操作者が入力するようにした場合、データ薬液充填装置 200および薬液注入装置 1 00は、リーダ 270、 150を有していなくてもよい。その場合はもちろん、データキャリア も不要であり、リーダ 270、 150で薬液シリンジ 500の固有識別番号を読み出す代わ りに、操作者が、薬液充填装置 200の入力部 240および薬液注入装置 100の操作 パネル 103から固有識別番号を入力する。  In the present embodiment, a two-dimensional code can be used as the force data carrier using the bar code 504 as the data carrier. When the operator inputs the unique identification number of the chemical liquid syringe 500, the data chemical liquid filling device 200 and the chemical liquid injection device 100 do not need to have the readers 270 and 150. In that case, of course, a data carrier is also unnecessary, and instead of reading the unique identification number of the chemical syringe 500 with the readers 270 and 150, the operator can input the input unit 240 of the chemical filler 200 and the operation panel of the chemical injector 100. Enter the unique identification number from 103.
[0112] さらに、本実施形態においても第 1の実施形態と同様に、薬液充填装置 200と病院 管理サーバ 400 (図 7参照)とを相互に通信可能に接続することもできる(図 7に一点 鎖線で示す)。この場合は、図 10に示すように、薬液充填装置 200は、薬液注入装 置 100 (図 7参照)との間でのデータ通信のためのインターフェイス 280の他に、病院 管理サーバ 400との間でのデータ通信のためのインターフェイス 260を有する。  [0112] Further, in the present embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, the drug solution filling device 200 and the hospital management server 400 (see Fig. 7) can be connected to each other so as to be able to communicate with each other (one point in Fig. 7). (Indicated by a chain line). In this case, as shown in FIG. 10, the chemical filling device 200 is connected to the hospital management server 400 in addition to the interface 280 for data communication with the chemical injection device 100 (see FIG. 7). It has an interface 260 for data communication.
[0113] 上述した各実施形態では、薬液注入装置 100が薬液の注入条件を決定する例を 示したが、薬液充填装置 200が注入条件を決定することもできる。  [0113] In each of the above-described embodiments, an example in which the chemical solution injection device 100 determines the injection condition of the chemical solution has been described. However, the chemical solution filling apparatus 200 can also determine the injection condition.
[0114] この場合、薬液充填装置 200が注入条件を決定するのに必要なデータを入手する 方法として大きく分けて 2つの方法が考えられる。  [0114] In this case, there are roughly two methods for obtaining data necessary for the chemical solution filling apparatus 200 to determine the injection conditions.
[0115] 第 1の方法は、注入条件を決定するのに必要なデータを、薬液注入装置 100から 病院管理サーバ 400を介して薬液充填装置 200に送信する方法である。この方法は 、薬液シリンジ 500に設けられたデータキャリア力 ICタグのようにデータの追記や書 き換えが可能である場合、およびバーコードのようにデータの追記も書き換えもでき な 、場合の 、ずれでも適用できる。 [0115] In the first method, the data necessary to determine the injection conditions is obtained from the chemical injection device 100. This is a method of transmitting to the chemical solution filling apparatus 200 via the hospital management server 400. This method can be used when data can be added or rewritten like data carrier force IC tag provided in chemical syringe 500, and when data can be added or rewritten like barcode. Any deviation can be applied.
[0116] 第 2の方法は、注入条件を決定するのに必要なデータを、薬液注入装置 100から、 薬液シリンジ 500に設けられたデータキャリアを介して薬液充填装置 200に送信する 方法である。この方法は、薬液シリンジ 500に設けられたデータキャリア力 ICタグの ようにデータの追記や書き換えが可能である場合にのみ適用できる。  [0116] The second method is a method of transmitting data necessary for determining injection conditions from the chemical solution injection device 100 to the chemical solution filling device 200 via a data carrier provided in the chemical solution syringe 500. This method can be applied only when data can be added or rewritten, such as a data carrier force IC tag provided in the chemical syringe 500.
[0117] 注入条件を決定するのに必要なデータが病院管理サーバ 400を介して薬液充填 装置 200に送信される場合、まず、薬液注入装置 100において薬液の注入プロファ ィルが設定され、設定された注入プロファイルが病院管理サーノ 00に送られる。病 院管理サーノ 00は、送られた注入プロファイルを含む検査条件をカルテ情報の一 部として保有する。薬液充填装置 200は、病院管理サーバ 400から検査条件のデー タを受信し、受信したデータに基づいて、薬液の充填量に加え、薬液注入装置 100 による薬液の注入条件も決定する。次いで、薬液充填装置 200は、決定した充填量 に従って薬液シリンジ 500に薬液を充填する。  [0117] When data necessary for determining the injection conditions is transmitted to the chemical filling device 200 via the hospital management server 400, first, the chemical injection profile is set and set in the chemical injection device 100. The infusion profile sent to the hospital management sano 00. The hospital management Sano 00 holds the examination condition including the sent infusion profile as a part of the chart information. The chemical filling apparatus 200 receives data on the examination conditions from the hospital management server 400, and determines the injection condition of the chemical liquid by the chemical injection apparatus 100 in addition to the filling amount of the chemical liquid based on the received data. Next, the chemical solution filling apparatus 200 fills the chemical solution syringe 500 with the chemical solution according to the determined filling amount.
[0118] ここで、データキャリアが追記または書き換え可能であれば、決定した充填量およ び注入条件を、装着されて 、る薬液シリンジ 500に設けられたデータキャリアに追記 または書き換えを行う。以降の手順は、薬液注入装置 100で注入プロファイルを設定 すること以外、前述した第 1の実施形態と同様でよい。データキャリアが追記も書き換 えもできない場合は、決定した充填量および注入条件は、薬液充填装置 200から病 院管理サーバ 400を介して薬液注入装置 100に送信される。以降の手順は、薬液注 入装置 100で注入プロファイルを設定すること以外、前出した第 2の実施形態と同様 でよい。  [0118] Here, if the data carrier can be additionally written or rewritten, the determined filling amount and injection conditions are attached, and the data carrier provided in the chemical syringe 500 is additionally written or rewritten. The subsequent procedure may be the same as that of the first embodiment described above except that the injection profile is set by the chemical solution injection device 100. When the data carrier cannot be additionally written or rewritten, the determined filling amount and injection condition are transmitted from the chemical solution filling apparatus 200 to the chemical solution injection apparatus 100 via the hospital management server 400. The subsequent procedure may be the same as that of the second embodiment described above, except that the injection profile is set by the chemical solution injection device 100.
[0119] 一方、注入条件を決定するのに必要なデータがデータキャリアを介して送信される 場合は、まず、薬液シリンジ 500が薬液注入装置 100に装着される。この状態で、薬 液注入装置 100にお 、て薬液の注入プロファイルが設定され、設定された注入プロ ファイルが薬液シリンジ 500のデータキャリアに書き込まれる。次いで、その薬液シリ ンジ 500を薬液充填装置 200に装着される。以降の手順は、薬液シリンジ 500に薬 液を充填した後、薬液注入装置 100で注入プロファイルを設定すること以外、前述し た第 1の実施形態と同様でよい。 On the other hand, when data necessary for determining the injection conditions is transmitted via the data carrier, first, the chemical liquid syringe 500 is attached to the chemical liquid injection apparatus 100. In this state, a chemical injection profile is set in the chemical injection device 100, and the set injection profile is written to the data carrier of the chemical syringe 500. Next, the chemical solution 500 is mounted on the chemical filling device 200. Subsequent procedures may be the same as those in the first embodiment described above, except that after the chemical solution is filled in the chemical solution syringe 500, an injection profile is set by the chemical solution injection device 100.
[0120] なお、薬液注入装置 100が複数種の注入プロファイルを持っており、薬液充填装 置 200で注入条件を決定する際に用いた注入プロファイルを変更した ヽ場合もある。 注入プロファイルが変更されると、薬液の注入条件も変わってしまうことがある。従つ てこの場合は、薬液を注入する前に、薬液注入装置 100において注入プロファイル を再度設定し、薬液注入装置 100は、再度設定された注入プロファイルに従って、薬 液シリンジ 500に設けられたデータキャリアまたは病院管理サーノ 00から送信され た注入条件を変更できるように構成する。  [0120] It should be noted that the chemical injection device 100 has a plurality of types of injection profiles, and the injection profile used when determining the injection conditions in the chemical solution filling device 200 may be changed. When the injection profile is changed, the injection condition of the chemical solution may also change. Therefore, in this case, before injecting the chemical solution, the injection profile is set again in the chemical injection device 100, and the chemical injection device 100 sets the data carrier provided in the chemical syringe 500 according to the reset injection profile. Alternatively, the injection conditions sent from hospital management Sano 00 can be changed.
[0121] また、上述した各実施形態では撮像装置として X線 CT装置を例に挙げて説明した 1S 本発明は、 MRI装置、 PET装置、超音波診断装置、 CTアンギオ装置、 MRA装 置等でも同様に適用することができる。これらの撮像装置においても、薬液としては それぞれに適した造影剤や生理食塩水等を利用することができる。  [0121] Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, the 1S invention described taking the X-ray CT apparatus as an example of the imaging apparatus is an MRI apparatus, PET apparatus, ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, CT angio apparatus, MRA apparatus, etc. The same can be applied. Also in these imaging apparatuses, a contrast medium or physiological saline suitable for each can be used as the chemical solution.
[0122] さらに、従来力 病院の管理システムとしては、外来患者の受付および会計処理を 行う医療情報システム「HIS」(Hospital Information System)、および放射線部におけ る放射線診療情報システム「RIS」 (Radiology  [0122] Furthermore, conventional hospital management systems include the medical information system “HIS” (Hospital Information System), which accepts and accounts for outpatients, and the radiological information system “RIS” (Radiology) in the radiation department.
Information System)が知られている。一般に、 HISは画像データのサーバ管理、受 付業務、診療費等の事務処理システムであり、 RISは放射線検査と診療のためのシ ステムである。本発明において、病院管理サーバは、これらの HIS、 RISおよびこれ らを連携させた病院内情報システムの 、ずれかの一部であることが好ま 、。  Information System) is known. In general, the HIS is an administrative system for image data server management, reception work, and medical expenses, and the RIS is a system for radiological examination and medical care. In the present invention, the hospital management server is preferably a part of any of these HIS, RIS, and in-hospital information systems that link these.
