Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention is applied to a radiation image information processing system used in a radiation image information processing system that reads and processes image information from a stimulable phosphor sheet on which radiation image information of a patient is recorded in a hospital. The present invention relates to a patient information registration device for registering ID information such as name, gender, date of birth, and ID (identification) number.

[Prior Art] When a certain kind of phosphor is irradiated with radiation such as electron beams, It is known that when irradiated with , phosphors exhibit stimulated luminescence depending on the stored energy, and phosphors with this property are called stimulable phosphors.

Using this phosphor, for example, in a hospital, a patient's radiation image information is recorded on a stimulable phosphor sheet, and this sheet is scanned with a light beam such as a laser to produce stimulated luminescence according to the radiation image information. A radiation image information processing system has been proposed by the present applicant, which includes an image reading device for generating light and reading image information by detecting the light, and a registration means into which a patient's ID and other information is input. (Unexamined Japanese Patent Publication No. 1983)
-253348).

In such a system, prior to imaging to record the patient's radiation image information on a stimulable phosphor sheet, patient information such as the patient's name, gender, date of birth, and imaging information such as the date of imaging and the area to be imaged are collected. ID information including the information is registered. Therefore, an ID terminal (hereinafter referred to as IDT) is usually provided near the imaging device as a means of registering ID information, and a magnetic card on which necessary patient information is recorded in advance is loaded into this IDT. The above ID information is registered by performing a manual operation.

Additionally, a stimulable phosphor sheet is usually provided with a barcode as an identification symbol to distinguish it from other stimulable phosphor sheets, and the IDT registers the ID information and also reads the barcode. The ID information and the barcode are stored in a storage means in correspondence with each other.

On the other hand, the stimulable phosphor sheet that has been photographed by the photographing device is loaded into the image reading device, and the image information and barcode are read.The read barcode is sent to the storage means and stored there. More information corresponding to the same barcode is retrieved from the storage means. This ID information is input to the image reading device, and the image reading device sets reading conditions and performs image processing based on the information.

The above-mentioned IDT uses a CRT or liquid crystal display to display a screen that allows the operator (usually the radiographer) to perform the necessary operations to input patient information and imaging information read from the patient card. For example, after reading information from a patient card, as shown in FIG. 7(A), a site selection screen (portion selection screen) for selecting a site to be imaged is displayed. Here, the operator can select and input the region to be imaged of the patient.

When the selected region to be imaged is input, the IDT displays the imaging menu for that region, as shown in FIG. 7(B), and allows the operator to select imaging items such as the imaging method. When any item is selected, a screen for setting various photographing conditions is displayed as shown in FIG. 7(C).

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, according to the method of inputting imaging information as described above, the imaging menu is determined for each region to be imaged.
The imaging menu cannot be selected unless the region to be imaged is selected. In other words, the method is limited to selecting an imaging menu based on the region to be imaged, and there is little freedom in selecting an imaging menu.

Furthermore, various imaging procedures and conditions may be required depending on the imaging site, and there are many imaging menus for such imaging sites. In this case, the number of pages on the shooting menu display screen displayed on the IDT display will increase, so if the desired shooting menu does not exist on the first page or a page close to it, it will take some time until the desired shooting menu appears. There was a problem in that the user had to go through the pages of the screen one after the other, making menu selection operations time-consuming.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an ID information registration device that allows flexibility in selecting a radiography menu, not limited to the method of selecting a radiography menu based on a region to be radiographed.

Another object of the present invention is to allow the desired imaging menu to appear on the first page, so that even if there are many imaging menus for one imaging region, the menu can be quickly edited.
- To provide a more selective information registration device.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a radiation image information processing system that reads and processes image information from a stimulable phosphor sheet on which radiation image information of a patient is recorded in a hospital. In an ID information registration device for registering ID information including patient information and imaging information used for multiple display groups categorized by arbitrary items,

The present invention is characterized by comprising: a control means that operates to perform display; and a photographing information input means that inputs display groups selected on the display group selection screen and the photographing menu screen, respectively.

The present invention also provides a method for registering ID information including patient information and imaging information used in a radiation image information processing system that reads and processes image information from a stimulable phosphor sheet on which radiation image information of a patient is recorded in a hospital. In the ID information registration device, at least a plurality of display groups selected for registering the photographing information, a photographing menu set for each display group, and a photographing menu within a display group spanning multiple menu pages. a storage means for storing an initial number of shooting menu pages in which the menu page on which the desired shooting menu exists is the first page; at least a display group selection screen for selecting a display group; a display means for displaying a shooting menu screen for selecting a menu; a shooting information input means for inputting the display group and shooting menu selected on the display group selection screen and the shooting menu screen, respectively; A control means that displays a display group selection screen and operates to, when a display group is selected from the screen, display the shooting menu of the selected display group according to the initial number of pages of the display group. It is characterized by

[Operation: Prior to recording the patient's radiation image information on the stimulable phosphor sheet, register patient information such as the patient's name, gender, and date of birth, as well as imaging information such as the date of imaging and the area to be imaged. In this case, patient information is entered, for example, by loading a magnetic recording card into a card information reader.

When registering shooting information, a display group selection screen is first displayed. When the operator selects a desired display group on this screen, the photographing menu within the selected display group is displayed according to the display position of the photographing item included in the photographing menu. On this shooting menu screen, the operator can register shooting information by selecting and inputting necessary shooting items.
