MEDICAL IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE AND MEDICAL IMAGE STORAGE SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a medical image display device and a medical image storage system, capable of preventing degradation of an image quality of medical image data and converting annotation data into data based on a DICOM standard while suppressing the increase of a storage data region.

SOLUTION: A medical image display device comprises: a storage unit 2 that stores medical image data based on a DICOM standard and annotation data associated with the medical image data and not based on the DICOM standard; a display unit 3 that displays an overlapped image of a medical image corresponding to the medical image data and annotation corresponding to the annotation data; an extraction unit 4 that extracts a pixel region having a specific color value from the overlapped image; a conversion unit 5 that converts image data corresponding to the extracted pixel region into annotation data based on the DICOM standard; and a storage unit 6 that stores the annotation data based on the DICOM standard in association with the medical image data.
