Medical image interpreting apparatus and cursor-moving method
First Claim
1. A medical image interpreting apparatus for supporting interpretation of medical images and creation of an interpretation report, comprising:
- a pointing device configured to move a cursor;
a display part configured to display said medical images, said interpretation report, said cursor, and at least a set of areas on at least one display screen, said medical images being separate from said interpretation report;
a button corresponding to each of said set of areas, each button corresponding to one of the medical images and the interpretation report, respectively;
a determining part configured to determine movement of said cursor with respect to one of said areas; and
a cursor moving part configured to move said cursor onto an other of said set of areas, when said determining part determines that said cursor has moved onto one of said set of areas, whereinsaid cursor moving part is configured to move said cursor onto said other of said set of areas corresponding to a pressed button, when said determining part determines that said cursor has moved onto one of said areas and any one of said buttons has been pressed.

Abstract
In the medical image interpreting apparatus having a pointing device for moving a cursor, medical image, interpretation report, and cursor are displayed on a display screen, and initial movement information and information on the destination of movement of the cursor are linked and stored, via the pointing device when the cursor begins to move, said initial movement information relevant to the initial movement is retrieved to obtain the linked information on the destination of movement and the cursor is moved to the destination of movement indicated in the obtained information on the destination of movement. Due to this, just by slightly moving the cursor, the cursor jumps to the desired destination of movement, therefore, it becomes possible to omit an operation of the pointing device in between. Due to this, the operation load of the pointing device is reduced, thus preventing an operator'"'"'s thought in creating an interpretation report from being destructed, and the enhancement in interpreting efficiency and the reduction of interpretation mistakes are achieved.

4. A cursor-moving method of a medical image interpreting apparatus that has a pointing device for moving a cursor and supports the interpretation of a medical image and the creation of an interpretation report, comprising:
-
displaying said medical image, said interpretation report, said cursor, and a set of areas on at least one display screen, said medical images being separate from said interpretation report, determining movement of said cursor with respect to said set of areas, and moving said cursor onto an other of said set of areas, when it is determined that said cursor has moved onto one of said set of areas, wherein said medical image interpreting apparatus further comprises a plurality of input buttons, each input button being preliminarily associated with one of said set of areas and each of the plurality of input buttons corresponding to one of the medical images and the interpretation report, respectively, and moving said cursor onto an area of said set of areas corresponding to a pressed button, when it is determined that said cursor has moved onto one of said set of areas and any one of said buttons has been pressed. - View Dependent Claims (5)
