摘要:
A network interface in a local area network system for transferring a message from a first terminal to a second terminal at high speed comprises a receiving section for receiving the message from the first terminal, a first sending section for sending the received message to a first network on the basis of a first control instruction, a second sending section for sending the received message to a second network on the basis of a second control instruction, and a network control section for detecting a message size of the received message and for outputting the first and second control instruction to the first and second sending section in accordance with the message size.
摘要:
A medical information system has a terminal device of a hospital information system for retrieving and displaying an examination list and a reading report and an image display terminal device for displaying an image. Both terminal devices are arranged to mutually transfer the identification information of an examination to enable their displayed contents to be changed interlockingly. Therefore, medical information, such as charts, medical images, reading reports and results of examinations, required to perform a diagnosis is formed into electronic data and electronic data is displayed on a screen to provide information for a doctor.

An imaging system in a hospital includes plural diagnostic units each having a picture filing memory in which medical picture data of patients are stored. The memories are located in the diagnostic units at dispersed locations in the hospital. Each diagnostic unit includes a retrieval unit by which image data can be retrieved from the respective memory. A network interconnects the diagnostic unit and permits transmission of image data among the diagnostic units.

An image compression apparatus has a separation section for performing processing for dividing image data into a plurality of data blocks, an orthogonal transformer for orthogonal-transforming each data block, a bit allocation table for storing data representing the number of bits allocated in accordance with the frequency component of the orthogonal-transformed data output from the orthogonal transformer, an arithmetic operation circuit for calculating an amplitude probability density function of an identical frequency component of the orthogonal-transformed image data for each pixel, and calculating a quantization limit band causing a mean square error to be minimized in acordance with the calculating amplitude probability density function and the bit-number data from the bit allocation table, and a band limit table for storing the quantization limit band data. A quantizing circuit quantizes the orthogonal-transformed block information from the orthogonal transformer in accordance with the data stored in the allocation table and the band limit table.
摘要:
A picture archiving communication system for medical application includes least one work station, a data base, including a low-speed recording medium and a high-speed recording medium, for storing image data collected by a diagnosing apparatus unit. When a transfer command for desired image data is sent from the work station to the data base, the image data from the image data registered in the data base is read-out to the work station. A migration processing unit copies image data stored in the low-speed recording medium to the high-speed recording medium in the data base. A file management unit is provided, including a management table for storing a migration index number corresponding to at least one image data in the high-speed recording medium, which was subjected to the migration processing, and including a record indicating whether the image data stored in the high-speed recording medium was accessed after the migration processing. This system may further determine whether the image data stored in the high-speed recording medium from the management table has been accessed, and, if the image data has been accessed, deleting the image data from the high-speed recording medium from the earliest accessed one.
