Abstract: To provide a simpler implementation in which setting information is shared among a plurality of medical image capture apparatuses while maintaining intrinsic information each of the apparatuses has, in first memory in a first ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus UL1 are stored first data including first setting information set in the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus UL1, and backup data for first intrinsic information included in the first data; in second memory in a second ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus UL2 is stored second data including second setting information set in the second ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus UL2; and once the second data is input via a network, a first processor rewrites the first data stored in the first memory into the second data, reads the first intrinsic information in the backup data, and rewrites the second intrinsic information into which the first intrinsic information has been rewritten, into the first intrinsic information in the backup data.

Abstract: A system 100 comprises a first medical image capture apparatus UL1 and a second medical image capture apparatus UL2 that share values of at least some of a plurality of preferences and are of different kinds, wherein a first control device 81 in the first ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus UL1 executes an output function of outputting a value of a preference that the first input device 71 has accepted, to a server 104 along with information on the kind of the first ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus UL1, and a server control device 1411 converts the output value of the preference based on conversion information, and then, transmits the converted value to the second ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus UL2. The second ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus UL2 converts the converted value from the server 104 into that in the kind of the second medical image capture apparatus, and performs setting of the converted value.
