  • Publication number: 20090168965
    Abstract: A diagnostic system which provides the imaging operator with the situation of the patients staying in a small-scale facility such as a medical practitioner or a clinic without increasing the man-hour such as input of examination order information and improves the diagnosis efficiency. When a visiting patient is received and registered by and in a reception computer (5), a patient information list showing the patients who visited the facility on the day is created. A patient list screen is displayed on a display section (221) of a reading apparatus (202). On the patient list screen, patient information on the patient to be imaged is specified, the patient information on the specified patient is sent to a controller (3). When image data created by an image generating apparatus (2) is sent to the controller (3), the controller (3) associates the image data with the patient information received from the reading apparatus (202) and stores them in a server (4).

  • Publication number: 20090103796
    Abstract: The control apparatus sets the destination for sending data of the designated image reading apparatus and the breast image radiographing apparatus to be the control apparatus when receiving request for radiographing start in the mammography mode from the control apparatus. The breast image radiographing apparatus reads cassette ID of loaded cassette, and sends it to the control apparatus after correlating the cassette ID with UID indicating the radiographing time. The image reading apparatus reads cassette ID of loaded cassette and sends it along with the read image data to the control apparatus. The control apparatus correlates the received image data with the UID by using the cassette ID as a key, discriminates between MLO-L image and MLO-R image, and discriminates CC-L and CC-R images based on the discrimination result and the radiographing order indicated by the UID.
