MEDICAL INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, MEDIAL INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18056942 titled 'MEDICAL INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, MEDIAL INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a medical information processing apparatus that allows for the transmission and processing of medical images in an external system. It includes a transmission unit to send an original medical image to the external system, an acquisition unit to receive a processed image and appended information about the processed image, and an association unit to search for the original image and associate the appended information with the image.

  • The apparatus is designed to transmit and process medical images in an external system.
  • It can send an original medical image captured by an imaging apparatus to the external system.
  • The external system processes the original image and generates a processed image.
  • The apparatus can acquire the processed image and the appended information about it.
  • It includes a storage unit to store medical images for searching and association purposes.
  • The association unit can search for the original image using the appended information and associate it with the image information.

Potential Applications

  • Medical imaging systems and hospitals can use this apparatus to transmit and process medical images in external systems.
  • It can be used for remote consultations and collaborations between healthcare professionals.
  • The apparatus can facilitate the integration of medical image processing software and systems.

Problems Solved

  • The apparatus solves the problem of transmitting and processing medical images in an external system.
  • It allows for the efficient transfer of medical images for processing and analysis.
  • The association unit helps in organizing and linking processed images with their original images and information.

Benefits

  • The apparatus simplifies the process of transmitting and processing medical images.
  • It enables healthcare professionals to collaborate and consult remotely.
  • The association unit improves the organization and retrieval of processed medical images.


Original Abstract Submitted

A medical information processing apparatus includes a transmission unit configured to transmit an original image, which is a medical image captured by an imaging apparatus and which serves as a processing object in an external system, to the external system, an acquisition unit configured to acquire a processed image, which is generated from the transmitted original image being subjected to processing in the external system, and appended information about the processed image, and an association unit configured to search for the original image with use of the appended information about the processed image from a storage unit storing medical images and associate the appended information about the processed image and image information about the original image with each other.
