Abstract
This invention provides an ophthalmological image processing system which can avoid data errors when processing images by appending data to identify a subject's left and right eyes, and other photographic condition data. The system comprises an ophthalmological camera for electronically obtaining an image of a subject's eyes, inputting means for inputting photographic condition data, and processing means for linking a fundus image obtained by the ophthalmological camera to the photographic condition data input by the inputting means.
Claims8
An ophthalmological image processing system comprising:
- an ophthalmological camera for electronically obtaining a fundus image of a subject's eye;
- data inputting means for inputting photographic condition data;
- and
- data processing means for linking said fundus image obtained by said ophthalmological camera to the photographic condition data input by said inputting means and processing it,
- characterized in that said data processing means is a recording means which attaches identical identification data to said fundus image and said photographic condition data, and records the fundus image and photographic condition data on different recording supports.
An ophthalmological image processing system comprising:
- an ophthalmological camera for electronically obtaining a fundus image of a subject's eye;
- data inputting means for inputting photographic condition data;
- and
- data processing means for linking said fundus image obtained by said ophthalmological camera to the photographic condition data input by said inputting means and processing it,
- characterized in that said data processing means is a recording means which attaches identical identification data to said fundus image and said photographic condition data, and records the fundus image and photographic condition data on the same recording support.
An ophthalmological image processing system comprising:
- an ophthalmological camera for electronically obtaining a fundus image of a subject's eye,
- data inputting means for inputting photographic condition data,
- data processing means for linking said fundus image obtained by said ophthalmological photographic apparatus to the photographic condition data input by said inputting means and processing it,
- characterized in that said data processing means is a filing apparatus for electronically filing the fundus image obtained,
- said means for inputting photographic condition data which is included in said ophthalmological camera is an identification apparatus for determining whether the left or right eye of the subject has been photographed, and
- said filing apparatus is set to electronically file fundus images such that left and right images can be identified according to the output of said identification apparatus when a photograph of a fundus image is taken.
An ophthalmological image processing system comprising:
- an ophthalmological camera for electronically obtaining a fundus image of a subject's eye,
- data inputting means for inputting photographic condition data,
- data processing means for linking said fundus image obtained by said ophthalmological photographic apparatus to the photographic condition data input by said inputting means and processing it,
- characterized in that said data processing means is an image analyzer connected to said ophthalmological camera,
- and either the camera or analyzer comprises, or both comprise, a transfer means for linking photographic condition data to left/right eye identification data, and transferring it to the other apparatus.
