Medical diagnostic apparatus with a display for patient identification on the housing of the apparatus

摘要

For the purpose of reliably preventing misidentification of a patient, a medical diagnostic apparatus comprises: examination means (30) for examining a subject A to generate medical information; operation console means (10) retaining information on an examination plan for a plurality of subjects, for managing the operation of examinations by the examination means (30); and display means (32) provided on a surface of a housing of the examination means (30), for displaying information identifying the current subject to be examined transmitted by the operation console means (10). Thus, the subject (the right patient) A can directly confirm the relationship between himself and the examination means (30) visually from the information identifying the current subject to be examined (e.g., the name of the patient A) displayed on the display means (32) under an inseparable condition. <IMAGE>
