[0030] [Operation in the image display system] Next, the operation of the image display system 100 will be described. Figure 4 is a ladder chart showing the display control processing performed by the image display system 100. The image display system 100 performs display control processing when displaying medical images on the terminal device 20 and implementing a chat function that allows messages to be exchanged between multiple accounts. Processing in the data management device 10 is achieved through software processing involving the cooperation of the control unit 11 and the program stored in the storage unit 14. Processing in the terminal device 20 is achieved through software processing involving the cooperation of the control unit 21 and the program stored in the storage unit 26.

[0031] (Display control processing) When the first radiologist accesses the data management device 10 from the terminal device 20A in response to an operation, the control unit 11 of the data management device 10 performs a login process. Specifically, the control unit 11 determines that the user is legitimate if the user ID and password entered by the first radiologist in the operation unit 22A of the terminal device 20A match any of the user ID and password combinations pre-registered in the user management table 141. After the login process, the control unit 11 accepts an operation via the terminal device 20A to specify the examination to be performed by the first radiologist (step S1). Specifically, the control unit 11 sends display data for an examination list screen (not shown) in which the patient name and / or examination type are listed for each examination to the terminal device 20A. Next, the control unit 21A of the terminal device 20A displays the examination list screen on the display unit 23A and accepts an operation via the operation unit 22A to specify an examination on the examination list screen.

[0032] Next, the control unit 11 of the data management device 10 acquires image data of a medical image corresponding to the examination specified by the first radiologist from the image storage unit 143. The medical image corresponding to the examination specified by the first radiologist is the medical image to be read. Next, the control unit 11 generates display data for displaying the medical image to be read and transmits it to the terminal device 20A (step S2).

[0033] Next, the control unit 21A of the terminal device 20A displays the image interpretation screen 231 (see Figure 5) on the display unit 23A based on the display data for displaying the medical image to be interpreted received from the data management device 10 (step S3). As shown in Figure 5, the control unit 21A displays the medical image to be interpreted in the display area 231a of the image interpretation screen 231. The control unit 21A can receive a request via the operation unit 22A to perform a predetermined image processing on the medical image to be read displayed on the image reading screen 231. The predetermined image processing includes processing to correct the grayscale of the image, adding annotations, and so on.

[0034] Next, the control unit 11 of the data management device 10 receives a press operation of the chat button 231b provided on the image interpretation screen 231 via the terminal device 20A (step S4). The first radiologist presses the chat button 231b when consulting with another radiologist (for example, the second radiologist) via chat about the medical image being interpreted. When the chat button 231b is pressed, the control unit 11 generates display data for displaying the chat screen 232 shown in Figure 6 and sends it to the terminal device 20A (step S5).

[0035] Next, the control unit 21A of the terminal device 20A displays the chat screen 232 on the display unit 23A based on the display data for displaying the chat screen 232 received from the data management device 10. Next, the control unit 11 of the data management device 10 accepts input operations for information such as messages and the recipient of those messages on the chat screen 232 via the terminal device 20A (step S6).

[0036] In the example shown in Figure 6, the control unit 11 accepts input operations for the identification information of the user to whom the message is to be sent in the mention field 232a provided on the chat screen 232. For example, the first radiologist enters the identification information (e.g., user ID) of the second radiologist, who is the user to whom the message is to be sent, in the mention field 232a. The control unit 11 accepts input operations for a message regarding the medical image being read in the input field 232b provided on the chat screen 232. The control unit 21A displays the user identification information of the user who entered the message (for example, the user ID of the first radiologist), the user identification information of the recipient of the message (for example, the user ID of the second radiologist), the message that was received, the date and time the message was entered, etc., in the display area 232c provided on the chat screen 232.

[0037] Next, the control unit 11 of the data management device 10 stores (saves) the chat information, which includes the information received as input in step S6, and the examination information corresponding to the medical image to be read, in the storage unit 14 (step S7). Chat information refers to information about the chat function that allows messages to be exchanged between multiple accounts. These multiple accounts include the account of the first radiologist, identified by the first radiologist's user ID, the account of the second radiologist, identified by the second radiologist's user ID, and so on. Chat information includes information indicating messages related to the medical images being reviewed, identification information of the user who entered the message, identification information of the user to whom the message was sent, and the date and time the message was entered. In step S7, the control unit 11 manages chat information, which is information related to the chat function where messages are exchanged between multiple accounts, for each inspection. The control unit 11 functions as a management unit.

[0038] Next, the control unit 11 sends display data for the chat screen 232 that displays the chat information to the account identified by the user identification information of the recipient included in the chat information stored in step S7 (step S8). In other words, the control unit 11 obtains information indicating the message in the chat function and the account to which the message is sent. Next, the control unit 11 sends the chat information including the message to the recipient account. The control unit 11 functions as a sending unit. The account identified by the user identification information of the recipient in step S8 is the account of the second radiologist.

[0039] When the second radiologist accesses the data management device 10 from the terminal device 20B in response to an operation, the control unit 11 of the data management device 10 performs a login process. Specifically, the control unit 11 determines that the user is legitimate if the user ID and password entered by the second radiologist in the operation unit 22B of the terminal device 20B match any of the user ID and password combinations pre-registered in the user management table 141. After the login process, the control unit 21B of the terminal device 20B displays the chat screen 232 on the display unit 23B based on the display data for the chat screen 232 received from the data management device 10 (step S9). The second radiologist confirms the message from the first radiologist regarding the medical image to be read on the chat screen 232 displayed on the display unit 23B.

[0040] Next, the control unit 11 receives a press operation of the image interpretation screen display button 232d provided on the chat screen 232 via the terminal device 20B (step S10). The second radiologist presses the image interpretation screen display button 232d when confirming the medical image to be interpreted. When the image interpretation screen display button 232d is pressed, the control unit 11 generates display data for the image interpretation screen 231, which overlays chat information onto the medical image being interpreted, as shown in Figure 7, and transmits it to the terminal device 20B (step S11). Next, the control unit 21B of the terminal device 20B displays the image interpretation screen 231 on the display unit 23B, based on the display data for the image interpretation screen 231 received from the data management device 10, in which chat information is overlaid on the medical image being interpreted (step S12). In other words, the control unit 11 transmits display data for the image display screen (image interpretation screen 231) to the terminal device 20B based on the operation of pressing the image interpretation screen display button 232d on the chat screen 232. As a result, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 23B to display an image display screen (image interpretation screen 231) that displays the medical image obtained from the examination corresponding to the chat information displayed on the chat screen 232.

[0041] In the example shown in Figure 7, the control unit 21B displays the medical image to be read in the display area 231a of the image reading screen 231. Furthermore, the control unit 21B overlays chat information on the display area 231c of the medical image. The control unit 11 of the data management device 10 receives input operations for user identification information, which is the recipient of the message, and for messages related to the medical image to be read, via the terminal device 20B, in the input field 231d provided in the display area 231c. Next, the control unit 11 stores (saves) the chat information, including the information that has been received, in the storage unit 14. The control unit 21B of the terminal device 20B displays the identification information of the user who entered the message, the identification information of the user to whom the message is sent, the message that was received, the date and time the message was entered, etc., in the display area 231c.

[0042] The control unit 21B can receive an operation to change the display position of the display area 231c in the display area 231a via the operation unit 22B. The method for changing the display position of the display area 231c may be, for example, by dragging the display area 231c displayed on the image interpretation screen 231, or by pre-setting the display position of the display area 231c. The control unit 21B can accept an operation to change the vertical width (length in the vertical direction of the paper) of the display area 231c via the operation unit 22B. The method for changing the vertical width of the display area 231c may be, for example, by dragging the edge of the display area 231c displayed on the image reading screen 231, or by pre-setting the vertical width of the display area 231c. The control unit 21B can receive an operation to change the transparency of the display area 231c via the operation unit 22B. The method for changing the transparency of the display area 231c may be, for example, a method in which the transparency is changed by a predetermined operation while the display area 231c is displayed on the image viewing screen 231, or a method in which the transparency of the display area 231c is set in advance.

[0043] As described above, by displaying chat information superimposed on medical images, users can view both medical images and chat information simultaneously. This allows users to efficiently view chat information even on terminal devices 20 such as tablets and smartphones, where the display area of ​​the display unit 23 is relatively small.

[0044] Next, when the control unit 21B receives an instruction via the operation unit 22B to hide the chat information that was overlaid in step S12, it hides the chat information. Next, the control unit 21B receives a request via the operation unit 22B to perform a predetermined image processing on the medical image of the image to be read displayed on the image reading screen 231, and performs the image processing (step S13).

[0045] Next, the control unit 11 of the data management device 10 accepts input operations for information such as messages and the recipient of the messages on the chat screen 232 via the terminal device 20B (step S14). In the example shown in Figure 8, the control unit 11 accepts input operations for the identification information of the user to whom the message is to be sent in the mention field 232a provided on the chat screen 232. For example, the second radiologist enters the identification information (e.g., user ID) of the first radiologist as the user to whom the message is to be sent in the mention field 232a. The control unit 11 accepts input operations for a message regarding the medical image being read in the input field 232b provided on the chat screen 232. The control unit 21B displays the following information in the display area 232c provided on the chat screen 232: the identification information of the user who entered the message (for example, the user ID of the second radiologist), the identification information of the user to whom the message is sent (for example, the user ID of the first radiologist), the message that was received, the date and time the message was entered, etc.

[0046] In step S14, the control unit 11 receives an operation via the terminal device 20B to attach the medical image to be read, which has been processed in step S13, to the display area 232c. Based on the attached operation, the control unit 21B captures the medical image to be read, to which image processing has been applied, and generates captured image data. Next, as shown in Figure 8, the control unit 21B displays the generated captured image 232e in the display area 232c. The information that can be accepted as input in step S14 includes the captured image 232e, which is the processed image displayed in the display area 232c.

[0047] Next, the control unit 11 of the data management device 10 stores (saves) the chat information, which includes the information received as input in step S14, and the examination information corresponding to the medical image to be read, in the storage unit 14 (step S15). Next, the control unit 11 sends display data for the chat screen 232 that displays the chat information to the account identified by the user identification information of the recipient included in the chat information stored in step S15 (step S16). The account indicated by the user identification information of the recipient in step S16 is the account of the first radiologist.

[0048] The control unit 21A of the terminal device 20A, while logged in with the account of the first radiologist, displays the chat screen 232 on the display unit 23A based on the display data for the chat screen 232 received from the data management device 10 (step S17). The first radiologist confirms the message from the second radiologist regarding the medical image to be read, and the captured image 232e of the processed image displayed in the display area 232c, on the chat screen 232 displayed on the display unit 23A. In other words, the control unit 11 sends the display data for the chat screen 232, causing the processed image obtained by applying predetermined image processing to the medical image displayed on the image display screen (reading screen 231) to be displayed on the chat screen 232.

[0049] Next, the control unit 11 receives a press operation of the image interpretation screen display button 232d provided on the chat screen 232 via the terminal device 20A (step S18). The first radiologist presses the image interpretation screen display button 232d when confirming the medical image to be interpreted. When the image interpretation screen display button 232d is pressed, the control unit 11 generates display data for the image interpretation screen 231, which overlays chat information onto the medical image being interpreted, and transmits it to the terminal device 20A (step S19). Next, the control unit 21A of the terminal device 20A displays the image interpretation screen 231 on the display unit 23A, based on the display data for the image interpretation screen 231 received from the data management device 10, with the chat information overlaid on the medical image being interpreted (step S20). Next, the control unit 11 of the data management device 10 receives an input operation for the interpretation result of the medical image to be interpreted, displayed on the image interpretation screen 231, via the terminal device 20A (step S21). The first radiologist inputs the interpretation result for the medical image to be interpreted, referring to the message from the second radiologist regarding the medical image to be interpreted and the captured image 232e of the processed image displayed in the display area 232c.

[0050] Next, the control unit 11 stores (saves) the image interpretation results input by the terminal device 20A in the storage unit 14, associating them with the examination information corresponding to the medical image being interpreted (step S22), and then terminates the display control process.

[0051] In step S6 of the above display control process, the control unit 11 of the data management device 10 may accept an operation via the terminal device 20A to attach the medical image to be read, to the display area 232c, to which predetermined image processing has been applied. In step S7 of the above display control process, the control unit 11 of the data management device 10 may store (save) the chat information, which includes the information received as input in step S6, and the patient information corresponding to the medical image to be read, in the storage unit 14. In other words, the control unit 11 may manage the chat information for each patient.

[0052] In the display control process described above, the control unit 11 of the data management device 10 may receive an instruction operation via the terminal device 20 to display a chat screen corresponding to a desired inspection on the inspection list screen. Upon receiving such instruction operation, the control unit 11 generates display data for displaying a chat screen corresponding to the specified inspection and transmits it to the terminal device 20. Upon receiving the display data, the control unit 21 displays a chat screen 232 corresponding to the specified inspection on the display unit 23 based on the received display data.

[0053] 〔effect〕 As described above, the display control system (image display system 100) of this embodiment includes a management unit (control unit 11) that manages chat information, which is information related to a chat function where messages are exchanged between multiple accounts, for each examination or patient. The display control system includes a transmission unit (control unit 11) that acquires information indicating the message and the account to which the message is sent, and transmits chat information including the message to the recipient account. The display control system includes a control unit 11 that causes the display unit 23 to display a chat screen 232 that displays chat information. Based on a predetermined operation on the chat screen 232, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 23 to display an image display screen (image interpretation screen 231) that displays medical images obtained from the examination corresponding to the chat information displayed on the chat screen 232. Therefore, users who receive messages in the chat function can reliably open the image interpretation screen 231, which displays the medical image to be interpreted, from the chat screen 232. This prevents the accidental display of a medical image different from the one specified in the chat function, thereby improving the efficiency of image interpretation and communication between users.

[0054] In this embodiment of the display control system (image display system 100), the control unit 11 performs predetermined image processing on the image displayed on the image display screen (image interpretation screen 231) and displays the processed image obtained on the chat screen 232. Therefore, users receiving messages in the chat function can view the medical images in an appropriate state after the prescribed image processing has been applied. Since users can view the processed medical images and chat information simultaneously, the efficiency of image interpretation can be improved.

[0055] In the display control system (image display system 100) of this embodiment, the control unit 11 displays chat information superimposed on the image displayed on the image display screen (image interpretation screen 231). Therefore, by displaying chat information superimposed on medical images, users can view both medical images and chat information simultaneously. This allows users to efficiently view chat information even on terminal devices 20 such as tablets and smartphones, where the display area of ​​the display unit 23 is relatively small.

[0056] The above description of the embodiments is an example of the image display system and program according to the present invention, and is not limited thereto. The detailed configuration and detailed operation of each device constituting the system can also be modified as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the programs for executing each process in each device may be stored on a portable recording medium. Alternatively, a carrier wave may be used as the medium for providing the program data via a communication line. [Explanation of Symbols]
