<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a medical image management system which allows a user to grasp the overall progress in real time and to share image database even when a DICOM adaptive and a DICOM nonadaptive image generating apparatuses coexist. <P>SOLUTION: The medical image management system comprises both a DICOM nonadaptive image generating apparatus 90 and a DICOM adaptive image generating apparatus 91. The DICOM nonadaptive image generating apparatus 90 is connected to a LAN200 via a gateway apparatus 100 and outputs image information formatted into DICOM formula to the LAN 200. The gateway apparatus acquires examination reserving information of patients from a management system 300, selects a patient to be examined on the basis of the examination reserving information, and correlates an examination ID or a patient ID of the patient in the management system 300 to image information acquired by the image generating apparatus 90. The medical image management system thus allows to unify the management of patient information and to use image database 700 as a common database. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
