Electric film printing system and method based on DICOM

Abstract

The invention discloses an electric film printing system based on DICOM, comprising an image device and an electric film printer, the image device is used for sending a shot electric film image to the electric film printer to print through a DICOM PRINT protocol, the electric film printer comprises an electric film printing server and at least a DICOM web camera, the electric film printing server is respectively connected the image device and the DICOM web camera. The invention also discloses an electric film management method based on DICOM, comprising the following steps: send a film image to the electric film printing server through the DICOMPRINT protocol by the image device; identify patient information from the film image by the server; store the file head and the image data body of the film image after the patient information is identified in the file system of the electric film printing server; when the patient needs to print the electric film, send the electric film to the DICOM web camera to print. Print on demand of the electric film is realized by the invention, thereby reducing the usage cost of the film and increasing the printing efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical electronic film management, in particular to a DICOM-based electronic film printing system and method. Background technique [0002] 1. Current status of film management in medical imaging departments: [0003] The film records the imaging diagnosis or treatment of the patient, and is medical evidence recognized by laws and regulations. In the future, when the regional image exchange function is realized, medical images will be able to be transmitted on their own under authority control, and there is no need for film to exist. But at this stage, and even for a considerable period of time in the future, film is still irreplaceable. [0004] (1) The traditional film logistics and use process of the imaging department is roughly as follows: [0005] -The inspection technician uses a cassette containing film to place under the patient's projection site, and sends the cassette to the darkroom after ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0034] This non-DICOM Print method of virtual printing on the PACS terminal is relatively poor in versatility, and there are quite a few images of imaging devices that cannot be virtual printed in this way.

Its scope of application is greatly limited, the more high-end equipment, the less it can use this method

[0035] (2) Serious waste of equipment resources:

[0038] (3) Serious waste of human resources:

It would be fine if the hospital took the initiative to adjust, but if it is a passive adjustment, it will inevitably cause resource shortage in some positions, and resources in some positions will be idle, resulting in waste.
