IMAGE DISPLAY METHOD, MEDICAL DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING APPARATUS, AND MEDICAL IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. An image display method comprising:
- reading setting information in which a sequence with medical meaning is set as a sequence of viewing a plurality of pieces of medical image data, from a portable medium that stores a plurality of pieces of medical image data and the setting information;
replicating the pieces of medical image data stored in the portable medium into a storage unit of a terminal device to be used for viewing the medical image data as replicated medical image data in accordance with the sequence set in read setting information;
starting to accept an output instruction that directs output of medical image data onto an output unit before replication of all of the pieces of medical image data stored in the portable medium is finished;
searching the storage unit for replicated medical image data corresponding to medical image data specified in an output instruction to output medical image data, upon receiving the output instruction; and
outputting searched-out replicated medical image data onto the output unit.

Abstract
Setting information in which a sequence with medical meaning is set as the sequence of viewing a plurality of medical image data is read from a portable medium. Moreover, in accordance with the sequence set in the setting information, a plurality of medical image data stored in the portable medium is replicated into a storage unit of a terminal device as replicated medical image data. Furthermore, before replication of all of the medical image data stored in the portable medium is finished, reception of an output instruction is started. Replicated medical image data corresponding to medical image data specified in the output instruction is then output to an output unit.

6. A medical diagnostic imaging apparatus comprising:
-
a medical image-data taking unit that takes medical image data; a medical image-data writing unit that writes a plurality of pieces of medical image data taken by the medical image-data taking unit onto a portable medium; a setting-information writing unit that writes setting information in which a sequence with medical meaning is set as a sequence of viewing the pieces of medical image data onto the portable medium; and a program writing unit that writes onto the portable medium a computer program that causes a computer to execute reading the setting information from the portable medium, replicating the pieces of medical image data stored in the portable medium into a storage unit of a terminal device to be used for viewing the medical image data as replicated medical image data in accordance with a sequence set in the setting information, starting to accept an output instruction that directs output of medical image data onto an output unit before replication of all medical image data stored in the portable medium is finished, searching the storage unit for replicated medical image data corresponding to medical image data specified in an output instruction upon receiving the output instruction, and outputting searched-out replicated medical image data onto the output unit. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A medical image processing apparatus comprising:
-
a medical image-data writing unit that writes a plurality of pieces of medical image data onto a portable medium; a setting-information writing unit that writes setting information in which a sequence with medical meaning is set as a sequence of viewing the pieces of medical image data onto the portable medium; and a program writing unit that writes onto the portable medium a computer program that causes a computer to execute reading the setting information from the portable medium, replicating the pieces of medical image data stored in the portable medium into a storage unit of a terminal device to be used for viewing the medical image data as replicated medical image data in accordance with a sequence set in the setting information, starting to accept an output instruction that directs output of medical image data onto an output unit before replication of all medical image data stored in the portable medium is finished, searching the storage unit for replicated medical image data corresponding to medical image data specified in an output instruction upon receiving the output instruction, and outputting searched-out replicated medical image data onto the output unit. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
