This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority from prior Japanese Patent Application No. 2004-162204, filed May 31, 2004, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a diagnosis assisting apparatus and a storage medium having a diagnosis assisting program stored therein, for assisting medical diagnosis that is carried out based on an image acquired by a medical diagnostic apparatus.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of the specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention, and together with the general description given above and the detailed description of the embodiments given below, serve to explain the principles of the invention.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a diagnosis assisting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 shows an example of a setting information database;
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a diagnosis assisting apparatus 1 according to the embodiment.
The diagnosis assisting apparatus 1 is connected to a local area network (LAN) 2 as shown in FIG. 1. Medical diagnostic apparatuses such as a computed tomography (CT) 3, a mammography (MG) 4, a magnetic resonance (MR) 5, a computed radiography (CR) 6, and a digital radiography (DR) 7 are properly connected to the LAN 2. Although not shown, as a medical diagnostic apparatus, there can be properly used: an endoscope, an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, a flat panel detector, an angiography apparatus, an electrocardiograph, an eyegrounds imaging apparatus, a digital microscope for cell diagnosis or pathological tissue diagnosis, or any other known apparatus. In addition, a server 8 is connected to the LAN 2. The server 8 stores image data acquired by the medical diagnostic apparatus. The server 8 sends the stored image data to the diagnosis assisting apparatus 1 in response to a request from the diagnosis assisting apparatus 1. The server 8 may store diagnosis-related information, order information, report information and the like without being limited to the image data.
