  • Patent number: 9532756
    Abstract: A medical image control system includes a medical image diagnostic apparatus and a mobile terminal. The medical image diagnostic apparatus includes a collecting unit, a distributing unit, and a reflecting unit. The collecting unit captures a subject based on predetermined image capturing conditions to collect time-series image data. The distributing unit distributes the time-series image data to the mobile terminal at least when the collecting unit collects the time-series image data. The reflecting unit receives control information and reflects the received control information to a process. The mobile terminal includes a replaying unit and a control information transmitting unit. The replaying unit receives the time-series image data distributed and replay the received time-series image data.

  • Patent number: 7827148
    Abstract: A log file generating section generates an audit log file of patient information in response to various kinds of events generated in a medical equipment, and a file compressing section compresses the generated file in a local storage medium at a predetermined timing. Further, a log management section automatically transfers the compressed audit log file to an external storage device and deletes data in the local storage medium at a predetermined timing, e.g., when a remaining capacity in the local storage medium exceeds a limit value.

  • Publication number: 20060009692
    Abstract: A medical image storage apparatus includes a receiving unit, a table preparation unit, the first storage unit, the second storage unit, the first unit, the second unit, and an output unit. The receiving unit is configured to receive medical image information resulting from a medical imaging apparatus. The table preparation unit is configured to prepare a table of a relationship between predetermined personal information concerning the medical image information and image information prepared by removing the predetermined personal information from the medical image information. The first storage unit is configured to store the predetermined personal information. The second storage unit is configured to store the image information. The first unit is configured to make the table unavailable. The second unit is configured to recapture the table.
