Abstract

An endoscope inspection report creating apparatus includes a folder creating section creating a plurality of folders for storing a plurality of endoscopic images for each inspection target; a file name creating section that creates a file name of an endoscopic image file, the file name including inspection result information about an inspection result of an inspection target; an image storage section that stores the endoscopic image file with the file name including the inspection result information, in a specified folder; a report template format storage section storing a report template format for each inspection target; a report template format reading section that reads the report template format from the report template format storage section; a file name reading section that reads file names of endoscopic image files stored in the folder of the inspection target; an automatic report creating section that automatically creates an inspection report by writing the inspection result information and an endoscopic image to be associated with each other in the report template format read by the report template format reading section, the inspection result information being the inspection result information included in the file name of the endoscopic image file, the endoscopic image being the endoscopic image of the endoscopic image file the file name of which is read by the file name reading section, and the automatic report creating section automatically creating the inspection report for all endoscopic image files read by the file name reading section; and an outputting section outputting inspection reports created by the automatic report creating section.

Claims

1. An endoscope inspection report creating apparatus, comprising:

a folder creating section that creates a plurality of folders to enable storage of a plurality of endoscopic images for each inspection target;

a file name creating section that creates a file name of an endoscopic image file, the file name including inspection result information about an inspection result of endoscopic inspection of an inspection target;

an image storage section that stores the endoscopic image file with the file name including the inspection result information, in a folder specified by an user from among the plurality of folders;

a report template format storage section in which a report template format is stored for each inspection target;

a report template format reading section that reads the report template format of the inspection target from the report template format storage section;

a file name reading section that reads file names of all of endoscopic image files stored in the folder of the inspection target;

an automatic report creating section that automatically creates an inspection report by writing the inspection result information and an endoscopic image to be associated with each other in the report template format read by the report template format reading section, the inspection result information being the inspection result information included in the file name of the endoscopic image file read by the file name reading section, the endoscopic image being the endoscopic image of the endoscopic image file the file name of which is read by the file name reading section, and the automatic report creating section automatically creating the inspection report for all of the endoscopic image files read by the file name reading section; and

an outputting section configured to output the inspection reports created by the automatic report creating section.

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

wherein the folder creating section gives inspection target information to a folder name of the folder to be created, and

the automatic report creating section writes the inspection target information given to the folder name of the folder from which the endoscopic image file is read, in the report template format.

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

wherein the automatic report creating section converts the inspection result information into inspection result inscription information that is understandable for an user, and then writes the inspection result inscription information in the report template format.

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

wherein, in a case where a plurality of folders are specified for inspection targets, the automatic report creating section reads the file names of all of the endoscopic image files in one folder and automatically creates the inspection report based on the read file names, and then reads the file names of all of the endoscopic files in other folders and automatically creates inspection reports based on the read file names.

5. An endoscope inspection report creating method for creating a report of endoscopic inspection using a folder creating section, a file name creating section, a report template format reading section, a file name reading section, an automatic report creating section and an outputting section, the method comprising:

creating, by the folder creating section, a plurality of folders to enable storage of a plurality of endoscopic images for each inspection target;

creating, by the file name creating section, a file name of an endoscopic image file, the file name including inspection result information about an inspection result of endoscopic inspection of an inspection target;

storing, by an image storage section, the endoscopic image file with the file name including the inspection result information, in a folder specified by an user from among the plurality of folders;

reading, by the report template format reading section, a report template format of the inspection target from a report template format storage section in which the report template format is stored for each inspection target;

reading, by the file name reading section, file names of all of endoscopic image files stored in the folder of the inspection target;

automatically creating, by the automatic report creating section, an inspection report by writing the inspection result information and an endoscopic image to be associated with each other in the report template format read by the report template format reading section, the inspection result information being the inspection result information included in the file name of the endoscopic image file read by the file name reading section, the endoscopic image being the endoscopic image of the endoscopic image file the file name of which is read by the file name reading section, and the automatic report creating section automatically creating the inspection report for all of the endoscopic image files read by the file name reading section; and

outputting, by the outputting section, the inspection report created by the automatic report creating section.

6. The endoscope inspection report creating method according to claim 5, the method further comprising:

giving, by the folder creating section, inspection target information to a folder name of the folder to be created, and

writing, by the automatic report creating section, the inspection target information given to the folder name of the folder from which the endoscopic image file is read, in the report template format.

7. The endoscope inspection report creating method according to claim 5, the method further comprising:

converting, the automatic report creating section, the inspection result information into inspection result inscription information that is understandable for an user, and then writing the inspection result inscription information in the report template format.

8. The endoscope inspection report creating method according to claim 5, the method further comprising:

in a case where a plurality of folders are specified for inspection targets, reading, by the automatic report creating section, the file names of all of the endoscopic image files in one folder and automatically creating the inspection report based on the read file names, and then reading the file names of all of the endoscopic files in other folders and automatically creating inspection reports based on the read file names.
