Abstract
A medical image processing apparatus able to automatically superpose photographing information into image data obtained by radiography. The medical image processing apparatus includes a first unit for obtaining image data representing an image recorded by radiography; a second unit for obtaining photographing information data representing photographing information to be displayed on a screen; a third unit for determining position and size on the screen in which the photographing information represented by the photographing information data obtained by the second unit is to be displayed; and a fourth unit for adding the photographing information data to the image data or image attendant information which is attendant upon the image data, and outputting the added data.
Claims18
A medical image processing method comprising the steps of:
- (a) obtaining image data representing an image recorded by radiography and image attendant information which is attendant upon the image data and includes information with respect to photographing condition of the image recorded by radiography;
- (b) automatically selecting photographing information data representing photographing information to be superposed into the image from a database on the basis of the information with respect to photographing condition of the image recorded by radiography;
- (c) selectively determining position and size on the image in which the photographing information represented by the photographing information data selected at step (b) is to be superposed;
- and
- (d) adding the photographing information data to one of the image data and the image attendant information and outputting the added data.
A medical image processing method comprising the steps of:
- (a) converting a plurality of characters input in accordance with plural kinds of photographing condition into plural kinds of image data;
- (b) storing the plural kinds of image data as plural kinds of photographing information data;
- (c) obtaining image data representing an image recorded by radiography;
- (d) selecting photographing information data representing photographing information to be superposed into the image from said plural kinds of photographing information data;
- (e) selectively determining position and size on the image in which the photographing information represented by the photographing information data selected at step (d) is to be superposed;
- and
- (f) adding the photographing information data to one of the image data and image attendant information which is attendant upon the image data, and outputting the added data.
A medical image processing apparatus comprising:
- first means for obtaining image data representing an image recorded by radiography and image attendant information which is attendant upon the image data and includes information with respect to photographing condition of the image recorded by radiography;
- second means for automatically selecting photographing information data representing photographing information to be superposed into the image from a database on the basis of the information with respect to photographing condition of the image recorded by radiography;
- third means for selectively determining position and size on the image in which the photographing information represented by the photographing information data selected by said second means is to be superposed;
- and
- fourth means for adding the photographing information data to one of the image data and the image attendant information and outputting the added data.
