  • Patent number: 8423379
    Abstract: A medical-information management network system includes a medical-information management server to which a server-identification information is individually given. The medical-information management server is configured to, for example, manage patient information, examination information, and a diagnosis result. The medical-information management server includes a receiving device that stores an in-vivo image, which is captured by a body-insertable apparatus inserted into a subject, and information received from the body-insertable apparatus, and an image display device that is connected with the medical-information management server via a network and obtains the in-vivo image and the information received from the body-insertable apparatus that are stored in the receiving device.

  • Publication number: 20120238809
    Abstract: An image processing system includes an external device including an orientation specifying unit that specifies orientation of the body-insertable apparatus, a rotation correcting unit that aligns orientations of a plurality of pieces of image data, a screen generating unit that generates a screen displaying the image data, an average color bar generating unit that calculates an average color of the image data, generates an image of the calculated average color, and generates an average color bar in which images of the generated average colors are connected, and an organ image generating unit that generates an organ image, obtained by superimposing the images of the average colors generated by the average color bar generating unit. The screen generating unit generates the screen in which the average color bar generated by the average color bar generating unit is incorporated, and incorporates the organ image into the screen.

  • Patent number: 8027525
    Abstract: An image display method and an image display apparatus realize prevention of misdiagnosis which is caused by corruption of a part of at least one type of information including identification information, information on a series of images, and diagnosis-report information. The image display method and the image display apparatus perform an operation using a predetermined hash function on patient information ID1, examination information ID2, a series of images I1 to In acquired by an intra-subject information acquiring apparatus to generate and add hash data h. Thereafter, the image display method and the image display apparatus, when using case 15a-1, perform an operation using a predetermined hash function to generate new hash data, compare each piece of the hash data h already added and newly generated hash data, and determine whether two pieces of hash data match with each other.
