Abstract
When a retake button is selected, a CPU causes a dialog screen for inputting a reason for a photographic error to be displayed. On the dialog screen, the name of a radiographer who is logging onto an X-ray photographing apparatus and select buttons indicating possible reasons for photographic errors are indicated. The CPU transmits an unsatisfactorily photographed image to a different server.
Claims14
A control apparatus for medical imaging, comprising:
- a control unit configured to control a medical imaging unit for detecting an X-ray to obtain a medical image;
- and
- a communication unit configured to transmit the obtained medical image to an external apparatus,
- wherein the control unit is configured to associate error information with the obtained medical image, wherein the error information indicates an error in the medical imaging for the obtained medical image,
- wherein, in a case where the control unit associates the error information with the obtained medical image, the communication unit is configured to transmit the obtained medical image to a first external apparatus which is independent from the control apparatus and is configured to store the obtained medical image associated with the error information, and
- wherein, in a case where the control unit does not associate the error information with the obtained medical image, the communication unit is configured to transmit the obtained medical image to a second external apparatus which is independent from the control apparatus and different from the first external apparatus and is configured to store the obtained image to be used for diagnosis.

A control system including apparatuses for medical imaging, the control system comprising:
- a control unit configured to control a medical imaging unit for detecting an X-ray to obtain a medical image;
- and
- a communication unit configured to transmit the obtained medical image to an external apparatus,
- wherein the control unit is configured to associate error information with the obtained medical image, wherein the error information indicates an error in the medical imaging for the obtained medial image,
- wherein, in a case where control unit associates the error information with the obtained medical image, the communication unit is configured to transmit the obtained medical image to a first external apparatus which is independent from the control apparatus and is configured to store the obtained medical image associated with the error information, and
- wherein, in a case where the control unit does not associate the error information with the obtained medical image, the communication unit is configured to transmit the obtained medical image to a second external apparatus which is independent from the control apparatus and different from the first external apparatus and is configured to store an image to be used for diagnosis.
3 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program including instructions to be executed by a computer to perform a process of medical imaging, the process comprising:
- controlling a medical imaging unit for detecting an X-ray to obtain a medical image;
- associating, using the computer, in response to an operation input, error information with the obtained medical image, wherein the error information indicates an error in the medical imaging for the obtained medical image;
- determining an external unit to which the obtained medical image is to be transmitted, based on whether or not the computer associates the obtained medical image with the error information;
- and
- controlling a communication unit to transmit the obtained medical image to an external apparatus,
- wherein, in a case where the computer associates the error information with the obtained medical image, the communication unit is configured to transmit the obtained medical image to a first external apparatus which is independent from the computer and is configured to store the obtained medical image associated with the error information, and
- wherein, in a case where the computer does not associate the error information with the obtained medical image, the communication unit is configured to transmit the medical image to a second external apparatus which is independent from the computer and different from the first external apparatus and is configured to store an image to be used for diagnosis.
