Abstract

A medical image capturing system includes, a server apparatus, and a plurality of client terminals and an image generating apparatus which are connected to the server apparatus to be able to communicate data. The server apparatus includes a display control section, an image management section, and a storage section. The image management section takes in a medical image generated by the image generating apparatus and provides the medical image to the client terminal. The storage section stores a combination of a parent client terminal and a child client terminal set in advance. When there is access from the child client terminal, the display control section provides data of an operation screen which is the same as the parent client terminal to the child client terminal.

Claims

1. A medical image capturing system comprising:

a server apparatus;

a plurality of client terminals connected to the server apparatus to be able to communicate data;

an image generating apparatus connected to the server apparatus to be able to communicate data, wherein

the server apparatus is configured to include,

a display control section which is configured to provide data to a client terminal which is operated according to operation on the client terminal among the plurality of client terminals, the data regarding an operation screen to be displayed on the client terminal which is operated;

an image management section which is configured to take in a medical image generated by the image generating apparatus based on an image take-in instruction from the client terminal and which provides the taken in medical image to the client terminal which instructed the take-in of the image, and

a storage section which is configured to store a combination of a parent client terminal and a child client terminal set in advance for an arbitrary client terminal among the plurality of client terminals,

wherein, when there is access from the child client terminal, the display control section provides data of an operation screen which is the same as an operation screen displayed on the parent client terminal to the child client terminal.

2. The medical image capturing system of claim 1, wherein the operation screen includes a login screen to login to the medical image capturing system, a patient list screen to select a capturing target patient, and an image display screen to instruct take-in of the medical image.

3. The medical image capturing system of claim 1, wherein,

the image generating apparatus detects irradiating timing of radiation irradiated from a radiation generating apparatus with a plurality of radiation detecting elements to generate a medical image according to irradiating of the radiation;

and

the server apparatus includes a state control section which is configured to transmit a driving instruction to instruct the image generating apparatus to switch to a driving state when an instruction to take in the image is received from the client terminal.
