Abstract
Abstract A medical information processing system for supporting diagnosis, capable of displaying an original image and a minified image over the original image without being interfered to each other, capable of optimal man-power & time saving configurations and methods, capable of realizing an optimal classifying technique for doctor's interpretation and CAD-processed result, and capable of optimizing efficiency in forming accurate interpretation report by using PACS in a mass survey. The system includes: a detecting unit for detecting location of abnormality from a first medical image in accordance with a predetermined algorithm; an image forming unit for forming a second medical image in which a marker indicating the location of the abnormality is overlapped; and a display unit for displaying the first medical image and the second medical image in an optimally efficient way.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
228 words
A medical information processing system for supporting a diagnosis, the system comprising: a first diagnosis processing portion obtaining first diagnostic results relative to a computer-aided diagnosis of medical images of a portion of a patient's body; a second diagnosis processing portion obtaining second diagnostic results from at least one doctor relative to a diagnosis performed by the at least one doctor relative to the portion of the patient's body; a selection and display device displaying selected ones of the medical images of the portion of the patient's body related to obtained first diagnostic results; a display detecting portion detecting that particular ones of the medical images relating to particular ones of the obtained first diagnostic results have been displayed and storing a first list indicating which particular ones of the first diagnostic results have had related medical images selected and displayed; a comparison and classification portion for comparing the first diagnostic results and the second results and, when the first and second diagnostic results do not agree, for creating a second list including a listing of examination identification numbers corresponding to any of the first diagnostic results not on said first list; and a control portion controlling the selection and display device so as to display the medical images associated with the first diagnostic results appearing on the second list for the at least one doctor's further interpretation.
