Description

This invention relates to a business support device and a business support program. A support device is known that assists physicians in their diagnoses by analyzing dynamic images obtained from radiation exposure to patients using a computer. For example, the device described in Patent Document 1 marks areas suspected of disease on still images through image analysis, and marks corresponding areas on dynamic images. By providing these still and dynamic images, the device supports physicians in their diagnoses.

The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. <Configuration of the Radiation Image Processing System> Figure 1 is a diagram illustrating the radiation image processing system 1 of this embodiment. The radiation image processing system 1 comprises a radiation image acquisition system 10, a radiation image control device (console device) 20, a radiation image analysis device 30, an image management device 40, and a client terminal 50. In the example shown in Figure 1, the radiographic imaging system 10 is located in the imaging room, and the radiographic imaging control device 20 is located in the control room. The radiographic imaging system 10, the radiographic imaging control device 20, the radiographic image analysis device 30, the image management device 40, and the client terminal 50 are connected to each other via a communication network N. The communication network N is, for example, a communication network conforming to the DICOM (Digital Image and Communications in Medicine) standard. Furthermore, a radiation information terminal 60, which functions as a radiation information system, is connected to the communication network N. This terminal transmits information related to radiation examinations, such as patient examination order information, to the radiation image processing system 1. Examples of radiation information terminals 60 include RIS (Radiology Information System). The radiographic imaging system 10 performs dynamic radiography (hereinafter referred to as dynamic imaging), which is the acquisition of dynamic radiographic images (hereinafter referred to as dynamic images), based on the control of the radiographic imaging control device 20. The radiographic imaging control device 20 controls the radiographic imaging system 10 based on examination order information, etc., transmitted from the radiographic information terminal 60. The dynamic images generated by the radiographic imaging system 10 undergo processing described later in the radiographic imaging control device 20 and are transmitted to the radiographic image analysis device 30. The radiographic image analysis device 30 performs dynamic analysis on the dynamic images. The dynamic images and the results of the dynamic analysis are transmitted to an image management device 40, which serves as a medical image management system, for management. An example of the image management device 40 is PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System). The dynamic images and the results of the dynamic analysis are tra
