Medical image capturing system

Abstract

A medical image management system includes a server apparatus, and a plurality of client terminals connected to the server apparatus to be able to communicate data. At least one client terminal includes a Web browser, an operating unit to perform input on the browser, a client terminal controller which controls transmitting of information input on the operating unit from the client terminal to the server apparatus, and a display which displays the browser. The server apparatus, a Web server apparatus, includes storage which stores information including, stored user ID and password associated with each other, the medical image, and patient information related to the medical image, and a server apparatus controller which controls transmitting of at least a portion of the stored information from the server apparatus to the client terminal, the information stored in the storage in response to the input information transmitted from the client terminal.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A medical image management system which manages a medical image comprising:
 a server apparatus; and   a plurality of client terminals connected to the server apparatus to be able to communicate data,   wherein:   at least one client terminal among the plurality of client terminals includes:
 a Web browser, 
 an operating unit to perform input on the Web browser, 
 a client terminal controller which controls transmitting of input information input on the operating unit from the client terminal to the server apparatus, and 
 a display which displays the Web browser, and 
   the server apparatus which is a Web server apparatus includes:
 a storage which stores stored information including, a stored user ID and a stored password associated with each other, the medical image, and patient information related to the medical image, and 
 a server apparatus controller which controls transmitting of at least a portion of the stored information from the server apparatus to the client terminal, the stored information stored in the storage in response to the input information transmitted from the client terminal. 
   
     
     
         2 . The medical image management system according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the input information is at least a user ID and a password,   the client terminal controller controls the server apparatus to transmit the user ID and the password,   the server apparatus controller determines whether the user ID and the password transmitted from the client terminal controller matches with the stored user ID and the stored password stored associated with each other in the storage, and when there is a match, the server apparatus controller performs control to transmit login permission information to the client terminal,   the client terminal controller performs control to allow input of an instruction regarding the medical image from the user based on the login permission information transmitted from the server apparatus controller, and after performing control to allow input of the instruction, performs control to transmit instruction information based on the instruction performed by the operating unit on the Web browser to the server apparatus,   the server apparatus controller performs control to transmit to the client terminal medical information for transmitting regarding one or both of the medical image and the patient information related to the medical image based on the instruction information transmitted from the client terminal controller, and   the client terminal controller performs control to display on the Web browser on the display the medical information for transmitting transmitted from the server apparatus controller.   
     
     
         3 . The medical image management system according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the server apparatus controller displays an operation screen on which the input information can be input on one client terminal among the plurality of client terminals, and   data on an operation screen the same as the operation screen displayed on the one client terminal can be provided to another client terminal.   
     
     
         4 . A program executed on a server apparatus which manages a medical image and which is connected to a plurality of client terminals to be able to communicate data, wherein:
 the program of the server apparatus is a program including a Web server function, and   at least some information regarding the medical image managed by the server apparatus is transmitted to the client terminal in response to the data transmitted from the client terminal.   
     
     
         5 . The program according to  claim 4 , wherein the program determines whether a user ID and a password transmitted from the client terminal matches with a stored user ID and a stored password stored in the server apparatus, and when there is a match, login is permitted. 
     
     
         6 . A server apparatus which manages a medical image, which is connected to a plurality of client terminals to be able to communicate data, and which is a Web server apparatus, the server apparatus comprising:
 a storage which stores stored information including, a stored user ID and a stored password associated with each other, the medical image, and patient information related to the medical image; and   a server apparatus controller which controls transmitting of at least a portion of the stored information from the server apparatus to the client terminal, the stored information stored in the storage in response to the input information transmitted from the client terminal.
