Medical image diagnosis apparatus, security managing system, and security managing method

A medical image diagnostic apparatus that includes an operation terminal having an input device and a display device, which is configured to shift a step-by-step process status having a plurality of process application execution states from one state to another, the states including an image photographing process application execution state, a patient registration process application execution state, an image observation process application execution state, and a filing process application execution state, the medical image diagnostic apparatus comprising:

• a part-screen saver shape storing unit configured to store part-screen saver image shapes of the respective states, wherein each part-screen saver image shape is to shield a part of a screen of the display device;
• an event detecting unit configured to detect an event not to use the operation terminal for a fixed time;
• a process application execution state detecting unit configured to detect a process application execution state of the operation terminal;
• a part-screen saver managing unit configured to perform, when the event is detected by the event detecting unit, a generation requirement of the part-screen saver with the detected state;
• and
• a part-screen saver image generating unit configured to read data of a screen saver image shape from the part-screen saver shape storing unit, corresponding to the detected state based on the generation requirement, and to generate data of a part-screen saver image for shielding the read screen saver image shape.
