  • Patent number: 12029918
    Abstract: A dose management device manages dose information of radiation doses in radiation events where radiographic images are generated in response to radiation on a subject. The dose management device includes a controller that acquires a target piece of the dose information, identifies a radiographic image corresponding to the target piece based on correspondence between each of the radiographic images and a piece of the dose information in a radiation event in which the radiographic images are generated, and outputs the identified radiographic image.

  • Publication number: 20210295983
    Abstract: A medical information management apparatus includes a storage and a hardware processor. The storage stores medical information, doctor identification information, and a confirmation status of the medical information that are associated with each other. The hardware processor obtains doctor identification information of a doctor that operates a display. In displaying target medical information on the display, in response to the target medical information being associated with the obtained doctor identification information in the storage, the hardware processor gives confirmation authority to the doctor, the confirmation authority being authority to determine a confirmation status of the target medical information in the storage as having been confirmed. The hardware processor provides the display with a confirmation instruction receiver for determining the confirmation status of the target medical information as having been confirmed.
