Abstract

A radiographic image capturing system is described. If a hardware processor determines that an image processor and an image analyzing unit are capable of sharing image data via an identical memory, the image processor stores image data in the memory and the image analyzing unit analyzes the image data with reference to the memory. If the hardware processor determines that the image processor and the image analyzing unit can send and receive the data via a wired network, the image processor transfers the data to the image analyzing unit, and the image analyzing unit analyzes the data. If the hardware processor determines that the image processor and the image analyzing unit can send and receive the data via a wireless network, the image processor compresses the data or decimates partial data and transfers the data to the image analyzing unit, and the image analyzing unit decompresses and analyzes the data.

Claims (27)

1. A medical cart which obtains dynamic image data including a plurality of sets of frame image data, the medical cart comprising:

a hardware processor which generates the dynamic image data, and which performs a decimating processing in which some of the frame image data is decimated from the generated dynamic image data; and

a display which displays a dynamic image based on the decimated dynamic image data wherein the decimating processing is performed based on a result of a determination identifying when a diagnosis is performed.

2. The medical cart according to claim 1 , wherein, the decimating processing is performed based on a result of a determination identifying a destination for sending data.

3. The medical cart according to claim 1 , wherein, the hardware processor performs an image processing

on the decimated dynamic image and generates processed image data, and

the display displays the dynamic image based on the processed image data.

4. The medical cart according to claim 1 , wherein, the hardware processor performs an image processing automatically or based on a predetermined operation by the user.

5. The medical cart according to claim 1 , wherein, the hardware processor is configured to receive an instruction to perform an image processing for diagnosis, and perform the image processing on the generated dynamic image data.

6. The medical cart according to claim 1 , wherein, the hardware processor is configured to determine that an instruction to perform the image processing for diagnosis is not received, and perform an image processing on the decimated dynamic image data.

7. The medical cart according to claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor decimates the generated dynamic image data to make the frame image data half or less.

8. The medical cart of claim 1 , wherein:

the decimating process is not performed when the determination determines that the diagnosis is being performed, and

the decimating process is performed when the determination determines that the diagnosis is not being performed.

9. The medical cart of claim 1 , wherein the decimating processing occurs in response to at least one of:

a determination that image data can be sent and received to an image analyzing unit via a wireless network, and

a determination that image data is to be displayed as a preview or for verification.

10. A method which obtains dynamic image data including a plurality of frame image data, the method comprising:

generating the dynamic image data;

performing a decimating processing in which some of the frame image data is decimated from the generated dynamic image data; and

displaying a dynamic image based on the decimated dynamic image data,

wherein the decimating processing is performed based on a result of a determination identifying when a diagnosis is performed.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program which obtains dynamic image data including a plurality of frame image data, the program causing a computer to perform:

generating the dynamic image data;

performing a decimating processing in which some of the frame image data is decimated from the generated dynamic image data; and

displaying a dynamic image based on the decimated dynamic image data,

wherein the decimating processing is performed based on a result of a determination identifying when a diagnosis is performed.
