Abstract: An examination information management apparatus that enables a client doctor to select a more proper examination.

Abstract: An image interpretation report creating apparatus for retrieving a key image corresponding to that in the previous examination from among images taken in this examination to display it on an image display terminal. The apparatus includes: a follow-up observation examination determining unit for determining whether this examination is an object of follow-up observation; a previous report determining unit for determining, as previous report data, report data on the same patient from among the report data; a previous report data acquiring unit for acquiring the previous report data; an image data acquiring unit for acquiring image data at this time; a key image estimating unit for estimating a key image at a slice position corresponding to the previous examination based on the previous report data; and an image data output unit for outputting image data representing examination images containing the key image to the image display terminal.

Abstract: An image interpretation report creating apparatus for displaying a case in combination of an image interpretation report and a blood test result even if they are stored in different computers. The apparatus includes: a display unit for displaying an image interpretation report creation screen along with a blood test result; an input unit for specifying finding and a blood test result; a search key generating unit for generating search keys for searching an image interpretation report DB and a blood test result DB; a search processing unit for causing an image interpretation report server and an examination result server to obtain cases that match the search keys; a similarity degree determining unit for displaying the cases in an order of the degree of similarity; and an image interpretation report preservation unit for causing the image interpretation report server to store image interpretation report data.

Abstract: An image interpretation support system by which past image interpretation results on an examination as an object of follow-up observation can be easily grasped. The system has: a server for storing a report database accumulating difference information between past reports in association with the respective past reports; and an image interpretation report creating apparatus connected thereto. The apparatus includes: a follow-up observation examination determining unit for determining whether or not this examination is an object of follow-up observation; a report finding control unit for creating an image interpretation report at this time by generating an image interpretation report creation screen and entering information in the screen; a changed portion extracting unit for extracting a changed portion to generate difference information; and a report saving unit for storing the difference information in association with the report at this time and the past report in the report database.
