Medical image processing system
First Claim
1. A medical image processing system, comprising:
- an image generation unit for generating a medical image that represents a test subject;
an image quality inspection terminal having an output decision accepting section for accepting a decision whether to output the medical image generated by the image generation unit and inputted thereto; and
an interpretation terminal for displaying the medical image inputted thereto from the image quality inspection terminal, wherein the image quality inspection terminal further comprises;
a determining section configured to perform a first determination process for determining whether additional imaging or an additional medical examination is required based on the medical image inputted thereto, and a second determination process for determining the type of the required additional imaging or medical examination, if the additional imaging or medical examination is determined necessary by the first determination process; and
an output section configured to output information which indicates that the additional imaging or medical examination is required and the type thereof, if the additional imaging or medical examination is determined necessary by the determining section.

Abstract
A medical image processing system having an image generation unit; an image quality inspection terminal; and an image interpretation terminal is provided. The system is capable of determining whether additional imaging or the like is required and the type objectively and rapidly prior to an image interpretation to be performed by a doctor to further improve the efficiency of the image interpretation and diagnosis. An additional imaging determining section is incorporated into a QA-WS (image quality inspection terminal). The determining section is configured to perform a predetermined image analysis on the image data generated by the image generation unit to determine whether additional imaging or the like is required and the type objectively. The inspection engineer performs image quality inspection, and directs additional imaging or the like, if necessary, by referring to the determination result at the QA-WS.
