Abstract
A medical image processing apparatus for receiving an image file including medical image information, and for processing the medical image information so as to output a processed image file. The medical image processing apparatus includes: an output queue controller for controlling an output queue to define an order for outputting plural image files; an auxiliary controller for controlling a supplementary queue to supplement the output queue; and an output apparatus for outputting at least the plural image files. A medical network system is also configured for connectting, through a network, the medical image processing apparatus and an input apparatus to which the processed image file is inputted.
Claims9
A medical image processing apparatus for receiving an image file including medical image information, and for processing said medical image information so as to output a processed image information, comprising:
- a means for controlling an output queue to define an order for outputting a plurality of image files;
- a auxiliary means for controlling a supplementary queue to supplement said output queue;
- and
- a means for outputting at least said plurality of image files.
A medical image processing apparatus for receiving an image file including medical image information, and for processing said medical image information so as to output a processed image information, comprising:
- a means for controlling an output queue to control an order for outputting a plurality of image files;
- a means for controlling a multi-image format queue to control an order for outputting a plurlity of image files formatted in a multi-image format;
- a means for momentarily registering image file with said multi-image format queue by suspending to output said image file with said means for controlling said output queue when said image file designated on a multi-image format comes to a forefront of said output queue;
- and
- a means for generating a multi-image format image with said means for controlling multi-image format queue and for outputting said multi-image format image when all of said plurality of said image files constituting said multi-image format are registered on said multi-image format queue.
A medical image processing apparatus for receiving an image file including medical image information, and for processing said medical image information so as to output a processed image information, comprising:
- a means for controlling a formatting queue to control an order for generating a plurality of image files from said image file to output with predetermined output formats;
- a means for controlling output queue to control an order for outputting a plurality of image files;
- a means for acknowledging different output formats in a plurality of designated output targets when said image file comes to a forefront of said formatting queue, and for generating image files in quantity corresponding to said different output formats;
- a means for registering at least one of said image files to said output queue by said means for controlling output queue;
- and
- a means for outputting an image file on a forefront of said output queue.
A medical network system for connectting, through a network, a medical image processing apparatus and an input apparatus, comprising:

- and
- d) a means for generating a multi-image format image with said means for controlling multi-image format queue and for outputting said multi-image format image when all of said plurality of said image files constituting said multi-image format are registered on said multi-image format queue;
- and
- said input apparatus for inputting said processed image file outputted from said medical image processing apparatus.
A medical network system for connectting, through a network, a medical image processing apparatus and an input apparatus, comprising:
- said medical image processing apparatus for receiving an image file including medical image information, and for processing said medical image information so as to output a processed image file, including:
- a) a means for controlling a formatting queue to control an order for generating a plurality of image files from said image file to output with predetermined output formats;
- b) a means for controlling output queue to control an order for outputting a plurality of image files;
- c) a means for acknowledging different output formats in a plurality of designated output targets when said image file comes to a forefront of said formatting queue, and for generating image files in quantity corresponding to said different output formats;
- d) a means for registering at least one of said image files to said output queue by said means for controlling output queue;
