Description
第一実施形態は、移動型装置を用いた回診中に、施設内の位置を基に被検体の撮像条件を自動入力する実施形態である。第一実施形態では、医用画像撮像装置の例として移動型X線装置1を用い、これを使用する施設として病院を例に挙げて説明する。以下、図1乃至図8に基づいて、第一実施形態に係る撮像支援システムについて説明する。
回診を始めるにあたり、移動型X線装置1X線装置に主電源を投入する(S101)。
操作者が、走行ハンドル40を把持して図示しない電磁ブレーキを解除しながら押し進めることで、移動型X線装置1が移動を開始する(S102)。移動停止検知部92は、移動型X線装置1の移動が停止したか否かを判断する(S103)。肯定であればステップS104へ進み、否定であれば、ステップS103に戻る。
移動停止を検知すると、GPS受信器33がGPS信号を受信し、中央制御部91が通信I/F98を介してサーバ110に送信する(S104)。すなわち、中央制御部91は、GPS信号の送信制御を行う。
位置検出部111は、通信I/F118を介してGPS信号を受信する。そしてマップ情報記憶部112に記憶されたマップ情報を参照し、移動型X線装置1の現在位置及びこの現在位置を中心とする検索範囲を算出する(S105)。
ベッド候補検索部114は、ベッド情報記憶部113に記憶されたベッド情報を参照し、ステップS105で算出された候補エリア内にベッドがあるか検索する(S106)。
被検体候補検索部116は、被検体情報記憶部115に記憶された被検体情報の中から、ステップS106で求められたベッド番号に対応する被検体名を抽出し(S107)、移動型X線装置1に送信する(S108)。ステップS107で抽出された被検体名が、被検体候補となる。図7の(b)の被検体情報では、ベッド番号と、被検体を固有に識別可能なID情報と、被検体名と、を対応付けて規定している。ステップS106で複数のベッド番号が求められた場合には、各ベッドに対応する被検体名を特定する。
移動型X線装置1は、受信した被検体候補名を表示部32に表示する(S109)。複数の被検体名がある場合は、移動型X線装置1に近い順に優先順位を付けて送信し、例えば図3の(b)に示すように、その順に沿って整列して表示する。
操作者は、表示された被検体名の確認を行う(S110)。正しければ、その旨を操作部31から入力し、撮像支援サーバ110に対して送信する(S111)。誤っているとき及び複数の被検体名が表示された場合には、検査対象となる被検体名を入力・選択し、その被検体名をサーバに送信する(S112)。その後、ステップS116へ進む。
ステップS105で候補ベッドが無いと判断されると、ベッド候補検索部114は、移動型X線装置1に候補ベッドがないことを通知する(S113)。中央制御部91は、候補がない通知を受け取ると、操作者に被検体名を入力させるための画面、例えば図3の(c)に示すように被検体名または被検体を固有に識別可能な被検体IDの少なくとも一方を入力可能な画面を表示部32に表示する(S114)。操作者は、操作部31から被検体名を入力する。中央制御部91は、入力された被検体名を撮像支援サーバ110に送信する(S115)。その後、ステップS116へ進む。
オーダ情報取得部117は、RISサーバ130からS111、S112、又はS113で特定された被検体名に対応するオーダ情報を取得(S116)し、移動型X線装置1へ送信する(S117)。ここでいうオーダ情報には、当該被検体が受ける検査手技に対応したX線条件(例えばmA、kV、mAsなど)が含まれる。
撮像条件設定部93は、受信したオーダ情報に含まれるオーダ情報に含まれるX線条件を設定し、表示部32は、その設定値を表示する(S118)。ステップS111、S112、又はS113で特定された被検体名が「日立B男」の場合、オーダ情報取得部117は、「日立B男」のオーダ情報を取得し、表示する。
操作者は、表示されたX線情報を視認し(S119)、正しければX線曝射ボタンを押し下げ、検査を実行する(S120)。設定されたX線条件にしたがってX線制御部94がX線を照射し、検出器制御部95がFPDから透過X線信号を読み出す。画像処理部96は、透過X線信号を基に被検体のX線画像を生成し、画像記憶部97が記憶する。X線画像は、表示部32に表示してもよい。表示されたX線条件が間違っていれば修正処理を行った後(S121)、検査を開始する(S120)。ここでいう修正処理には、X線条件の微調整の他、再度、図3の(c)に示す被検体情報の入力画面の表示を行い、正しい被検体名を入力してオーダ情報の取得、設定、表示を行う場合を含む。
第二実施形態は、回診時の経路を記憶しておき、回診の経路に沿って被検体候補を検索する実施形態である。以下、図9及び図10を用いて第二実施形態について説明する。図9は、医用画像撮像装置及び撮像支援サーバの機能を示す機能ブロック図である。図10は、第二実施形態に係る撮像支援システムの処理の流れを示すフローチャートである。
移動型X線装置1の主電源を投入する(S201)。主電源投入後、GPS受信器33はGPS信号の受信を開始し、サーバ110aに送信する(S202)。また、主電源投入後、操作者が移動型X線装置1を移動させる。
位置検出部111は、移動型X線装置1の現在位置を算出する(S203)。
経路記憶部141は、ステップS203で算出された現在位置を、時系列に沿って記憶する(S204)。時系列に沿った現在位置の軌跡が、経路情報として記憶される。経路情報には、検査を実行した位置も合わせて記憶しておくと、その経路に沿った検査の実行順も管理できる。
経路予測部140は、経路記憶部141の経路情報を参照し、現在位置が経路上にある回診経路があるか否かの判定を行う(S205)。あれば、この回診経路を予測経路と決定して(S206)、ステップS208へ進む。なければステップS207へ進む。
経路がない場合は、経路予測部140はマップ情報記憶部112に記憶されたマップ情報を参照し、回診の経路を予測する(S207)。回診経路の予測は、例えば、同一階の病院内のマップにS201の主電源投入後の軌跡を照らし合わせ、移動型X線装置1の進行方向を示すベクトルを演算し、進行方向先に位置する病室や分割領域を、移動型X線装置1に相対的に近い位置から順に沿って並べることで行ってもよい。
ベッド候補検索部114は、回診経路上にあるベッド候補を検索し、ベッド情報記憶部113に記憶されたベッド情報を参照する。そして、各ベッド候補のベッド番号を抽出し、回診経路に沿った順に整列したベッドナンバーリストを作成する(S208)。「回診経路に沿った順」とは、必ずしも移動型X線装置1に近い順とは限らない。例えば、ステップS206で決定された回診経路では、過去に移動型X線装置1の現在位置よりも遠いところから順に回診していた場合には、回診経路上にあるベッド番号の内、相対的に遠いものから順に記載されたベッドナンバーリストを作成する。一方、ステップS207で予測した回診経路の場合、今回新しく予測している回診経路であるので、進行方向先に位置する病室や分割領域のうち、移動型X線装置1の現在位置から相対的に近いものから順に整列したベッドナンバーリストを作成してもよい。ベッドナンバーリストの作成アルゴリズムは、別途設けられた設定画面(図示を省略)を用いて、遠い順または近い順等、適宜設定できるように構成してもよい。
被検体候補検索部116は、被検体情報記憶部115に記憶された被検体情報を参照し、ベッドナンバーリストに記載されたベッド番号に対応する被検体候補名を抽出し、移動型X線装置1に送信する(S209)。
移動型X線装置1の表示部32にベッドナンバーリストに記載された順に沿って、被検体候補名が表示される(S210)。操作者が検査対象の被検体名を選択するとステップS212へ進み、選択をしない場合にはステップS202へ戻り、ステップS202~S211の処理を繰り返し実行する、すなわちループ処理を行う。2回目以降のループ処理におけるステップS205では、その前のループ処理で決定又は予測された回診経路上に沿って移動しているか判定する。判定した結果、回診経路に沿っている場合は、ステップS206へ進む。一方、回診経路に沿っていない場合は、ステップS207へ進み、経路予測部140が、現在の位置情報を基に新たな回診経路を予測する。これにより、現在位置の算出、回診経路の予測・決定が再度行われ、現在位置の変化に伴って被検体候補名の更新表示が行われる。
中央制御部91は、撮像支援サーバ110aに選択された被検体名を送信する(S212)。
オーダ情報取得部117は、受信した被検体名のオーダ情報をRISサーバ130から取得し(S213)、移動型X線装置1へ送信する(S214)。
撮像条件設定部93は、受信したオーダ情報に従ってX線条件を設定し、その設定値を表示部32に表示する(S215)。操作者は、表示内容が正しいか確認する(S216)。表示内容が正しければステップS218へ進む。表示内容に誤りがあれば、X線情報の修正処理を行う(S217)。ここでいう修正処理とは、被検体名を手入力し直し、撮像支援サーバ110aに送信し、オーダ情報の再取得や、X線条件を増減して微調整をすることを含む。その後、ステップS218へ進む。
操作者が検査を実行する(S218)。検査が終了すると、中央制御部91は撮像支援サーバ110aに検査終了通知を行う(S219)。
第三実施形態は、移動型X線装置1単独で、現在位置の算出、エリア情報の算出、ベッド番号及び被検体名の特定を行う実施形態である。以下、図11を用いて第三実施形態について説明する。図11は、第三実施形態に係る移動型X線装置の機能を示す機能ブロック図である。
位置検出部111は、GPS信号を基に現在位置及び検索範囲を算出する。そして、マップ情報記憶部112に記憶されたマップ情報を算出し、候補エリアを算出する。ベッド候補検索部114が、ベッド情報記憶部113に記憶されたベッド情報を参照し、候補エリア内のベッド番号を特定する。被検体候補検索部116は、被検体情報記憶部115を参照し、候補エリア内のベッド番号に対応した被検体候補名を抽出し、表示部32に表示する。
第四実施形態は、GPS信号を基に、GUI(Graphical User Interface)に使用する言語や、移動型X線装置1が使用される地域に居住する人々の体格にあったX線条件を自動入力する実施形態である。なお、本実施形態は、第一実施形態から第三実施形態のいずれとも組み合わせることができる。以下、図12乃至図15を用いて説明する。図12は、第四実施形態に用いるX線画像診断装置の概略構成を示す説明図である。図13は、操作卓210の構成を示す機能ブロック図である。図14は、第四実施形態に係るX線画像診断装置の処理の流れを示すフローチャートである。図15は、地域情報記憶部に記憶された地域情報の一例を示す説明図である。
X線画像診断装置200の主電源を投入する(S301)。
GPS受信器270は、GPS信号を受信する(S302)。
地域特定部242は、GPS信号を基に緯度・経度を算出し、移動型X線装置1の現在位置が含まれる国又は地域を特定する(S303)。
地域特定部242は、地域情報記憶部243の地域データを参照し、ステップS303で特定した国又は地域の地域情報を読み出し、その地域情報を表示制御部243及び撮像条件設定部245に引き渡す(S304)。図15に示すように、地域情報は、国・地域別の言語(公用語に限らない)情報、及び体厚などの標準的な体型情報、およびその体型情報に応じた撮像条件の初期値を含むテーブルとして構成される。
表示制御部243は、地域情報を参照し、その国・地域の言語を用いてGUIの表示を行う。また、撮像条件設定部245は、地域情報を参照し、X線条件(例えばkV、mA)などの値を算出し、その値を、X線条件として設定する(S305)。
