Abstract: A medical system includes a medical apparatus that generates a medical image and a network apparatus communicable with the medical apparatus. The network apparatus generates identification information corresponding to inspection information, stores the inspection information and the identification information in association with each other in a first storage region of a storage apparatus and transmits the identification information to the medical apparatus. The medical apparatus receives the identification information transmitted by the network apparatus and transmits the identification information and the generated medical image in association with each other to the network apparatus.
