Abstract

Provided is a display apparatus including a hardware processor that acquires, from an external apparatus, a radiology report to which a dynamic image acquired by irradiating and dynamically radiographing a subject with radiation or a dynamic analysis image indicating a result of analyzing the dynamic image is attached; and a display that displays the acquired radiology report.

Claims (33)

1 . A display apparatus for display of a dynamic radiographic image comprising:

a hardware processor disposed at a first location that requests and acquires, from an external apparatus disposed at a second location remotely located from the first location, a radiology report to which one or more thumbnails based on at least a part of a dynamic image acquired by irradiating and dynamically radiographing a subject with radiation at the second location or a dynamic analysis image indicating a result of analyzing the dynamic image is attached; and

a display at the first location that displays the acquired radiology report acquired by the hardware processor,

wherein the hardware processor selects one thumbnail from the one or more thumbnails, and transmits an acquisition request for the dynamic image or the dynamic analysis image serving as a source of the selected thumbnail to the external device, and acquires the dynamic image or the dynamic analysis image serving as a source of the selected thumbnail from the external device that has responded to the acquisition request, wherein the display displays the dynamic image or the dynamic analysis image corresponding to the one image acquired.

2 . The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of frame images forming the dynamic image, or the dynamic analysis image are attached side by side to the radiology report.

3 . The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein one frame image from among a plurality of frame images forming the dynamic image or the dynamic analysis image is attached to the radiology report.

4 . The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the hardware processor

selects a frame image to be acquired from among a plurality of frame images forming the dynamic image or the dynamic analysis image attached to the radiology report and

acquires the selected frame image from the external apparatus, and the display displays the acquired frame image.

5 . The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the radiology report is a radiology report with the dynamic analysis image attached.

6 . The display apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the dynamic analysis image is an image obtained by analyzing motion of the subject in the dynamic image.

7 . The display apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the dynamic analysis image is a ventilatory analysis image or a blood flow analysis image.

8 . An image management server comprising:

storage that stores a radiology report to which one or more thumbnails based on at least a part of a dynamic image acquired by irradiating and dynamically radiographing a subject with radiation or a dynamic analysis image indicating a result of analyzing the dynamic image is attached; and

a hardware processor disposed at a first location that

acquires the radiology report from the storage disposed at a second location remotely located from the first location, and

generates a display image for displaying the acquired radiology report on an external display apparatus;

wherein the hardware processor selects one thumbnail from the one or more thumbnails, and transmits an acquisition request for the dynamic image or the dynamic analysis image serving as a source of the selected thumbnail to the external device, and acquires the dynamic image or the dynamic analysis image serving as a source of the selected thumbnail from the external device that has responded to the acquisition request, wherein the display displays the dynamic image or the dynamic analysis image corresponding to the one image acquired.

9 . The image management server according to claim 8 , wherein

the hardware processor

selects a frame image to be transmitted to the external display apparatus from among a plurality of frame images forming the dynamic image or the dynamic analysis image attached to the radiology report, and

acquires the selected frame image from the storage and transmits the acquired frame image to the external display apparatus.

10 . A non-transitory recording medium storing a computer readable program causing

a computer, disposed at a first location, of a display apparatus that includes a display to function as:

an acquirer that acquires, from an external apparatus disposed at a second location located remotely from the first location, a radiology report to which one or more thumbnails based on at least a part of a dynamic image acquired by irradiating and dynamically radiographing a subject with radiation at the second location or a dynamic analysis image indicating a result of analyzing the dynamic image is attached; and

a display controller that causes the display to display the radiology report acquired by the acquirer;

wherein the display selects one thumbnail from the one or more thumbnails, and transmits an acquisition request for the dynamic image or the dynamic analysis image serving as a source of the selected thumbnail to the external device, and acquires the dynamic image or the dynamic analysis image serving as a source of the selected thumbnail from the external device that has responded to the acquisition request, wherein the display displays the dynamic image or the dynamic analysis image corresponding to the one image acquired.

11 . A non-transitory recording medium storing a computer readable program causing

a computer, disposed at a first location, to function as:

an acquirer that acquires a radiology report from storage disposed at a second location located remotely from the first location, that stores the radiology report, a dynamic image acquired by irradiating and dynamically radiographing a subject with radiation at the second location or a dynamic analysis image indicating a result of analyzing the dynamic image being attached to the radiology report; and

an image generator that generates a display image for displaying the radiology report acquired by the acquirer on an external display apparatus;

wherein the computer selects one thumbnail from the one or more thumbnails, and transmits an acquisition request for the dynamic image or the dynamic analysis image serving as a source of the selected thumbnail to the external device, and acquires the dynamic image or the dynamic analysis image serving as a source of the selected thumbnail from the external device that has responded to the acquisition request, wherein the display displays the dynamic image or the dynamic analysis image corresponding to the one image acquired.
