Abstract

An endoscope inspection report creating apparatus has a file name reading section that reads file names of a plurality of endoscopic images, a file name of each of the endoscopic images including inspection result information separated with use of a predetermined symbol or character, and a report creating section that creates a predetermined report by writing the inspection result information which is included in each of the file names read by the file name reading section in each predetermined position in the predetermined report by associating the inspection result information with the endoscopic image of each of the read file names.

Claims

1. An endoscope inspection report creating apparatus, comprising:

a file name reading section that reads file names of a plurality of endoscopic images, a file name of each of the endoscopic images including inspection result information separated with use of a predetermined symbol or character; and

a report creating section that creates a predetermined report by writing the inspection result information which is included in each of the file names read by the file name reading section in each predetermined position in the predetermined report by associating the inspection result information with the endoscopic image of each of the read file names.

2. The endoscope inspection report creating apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the file name further includes inspection purpose information separated with use of the predetermined symbol or character, and

the report creating section creates the predetermined report by writing the inspection purpose information in a predetermined position of the predetermined report by associating the inspection purpose information with the endoscopic image of each of the read file names, in addition to the inspection result information and the endoscopic image.

3. The endoscope inspection report creating apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the inspection result information is information converted into predetermined inspection result inscription information.

4. The endoscope inspection report creating apparatus according to claim 2,

wherein the inspection purpose information is information converted into predetermined inspection purpose inscription information.

5. The endoscope inspection report creating apparatus according to claim 2,

wherein the file name further includes inspection location information separated with use of the predetermined symbol or character, and

the report creating section creates the predetermined report by writing the inspection location information in a predetermined position of the predetermined report by associating the inspection location information with the endoscopic image of each of the read file names, in addition to the inspection result information and the endoscopic image.

6. The endoscope inspection report creating apparatus according to claim 2,

wherein the plurality of endoscopic images are included in a plurality of folders divided according to the inspection purpose information, and

the report creating section writes the endoscopic image of each of the file names in the predetermined position for each folder.

7. The endoscope inspection report creating apparatus according to claim 6, further comprising:

a file presence/absence determining section that determines presence or absence of a file included in each of the plurality of folders,

wherein the report creating section writes, in the predetermined report, file absence information indicating the folder which does not include the file when the file presence/absence determining section detects a folder which does not include a file.

8. The endoscope inspection report creating apparatus according to claim 6,

wherein the report creating section creates the predetermined report based on a template of the predetermined report.

9. The endoscope inspection report creating apparatus according to claim 8,

wherein the template specifies respective predetermined positions for the inspection result information, the endoscopic image, and the inspection purpose information in the predetermined report.

10. The endoscope inspection report creating apparatus according to claim 9,

wherein the file name further includes inspection target information which indicates an inspection target, and is separated from the inspection location information and the inspection result information with use of the predetermined symbol or character, and

the report creating section writes the inspection target information in a predetermined position of the predetermined report.

11. An endoscope inspection report creating method, comprising:

reading file names of a plurality of endoscopic images, a file name of each of the endoscopic images including inspection result information separated with use of a predetermined symbol or character; and

creating a predetermined report by writing the inspection result information which is included in each of the read file names in each predetermined position in the predetermined report by associating the inspection result information with the endoscopic image of each of the read file names.

12. The endoscope inspection report creating method according to claim 11,

wherein the file name further includes inspection purpose information separated with use of the predetermined symbol or character, and

the predetermined report is created by the inspection purpose information being written in a predetermined position of the predetermined report by being associated with the endoscopic image of each of the read file names, in addition to the inspection result information and the endoscopic image.

13. The endoscope inspection report creating method according to claim 11,

wherein the inspection result information is information converted into predetermined inspection result inscription information.

14. The endoscope inspection report creating method according to claim 12,

wherein the inspection purpose information is information converted into predetermined inspection purpose inscription information.

15. The endoscope inspection report creating method according to claim 12,

wherein the file name further includes inspection location information separated with use of the predetermined symbol or character, and

the predetermined report is created by the inspection location information being written in a predetermined position of the predetermined report by being associated with the endoscopic image of each of the read file names, in addition to the inspection result information and the endoscopic image.

16. The endoscope inspection report creating method according to claim 12,

wherein the plurality of endoscopic images are included in a plurality of folders divided according to the inspection purpose information, and

the endoscopic image of each of the file names is written in the predetermined position for each folder.

17. The endoscope inspection report creating method according to claim 16,

wherein presence or absence of a file included in each of the plurality of folders is determined, and

file absence information indicating the folder which does not include the file is written in the predetermined report when a folder which does not include a file is detected by the determination.

18. The endoscope inspection report creating method according to claim 16,

wherein the predetermined report is created based on a template of the predetermined report.

19. The endoscope inspection report creating method according to claim 18,

wherein the template specifies respective predetermined positions for the inspection result information, the endoscopic image, and the inspection purpose information, in the predetermined report.

20. A nontemporary computer-readable medium including a program for endoscope inspection report creation, the program comprising:

a procedure of reading file names of a plurality of endoscopic images, a file name of each of the endoscopic images including inspection result information separated with use of a predetermined symbol or character; and

a procedure of creating a predetermined report by writing the inspection result information which is included in each of the read file names in each predetermined position in the predetermined report by associating the inspection result information with the endoscopic image of each of the read file names, and causing the computer to execute a series of the procedures.
