PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image transmitter, having a data structure suitable for receiving the image diagnosis requests and also to provide a shadow viewer of received images, which can display the images convenient for a receiver of the image diagnosis request. SOLUTION: An image conversion part 3 for an encoding transmitter 1 divides medical image data of CT, MRI, etc., into areas and also outputs a file that is produced through the hierarchical encoding. A request file production part 4 produces a request file serving as a higher rank hierarchy of hierarchical structure for DICOM regarding the image data. A viewer program execution part 14 of a viewer terminal 11 accesses the encoded image file stored in a local HD 13 and a request file, and shows a request file selection screen at a display part 15. Thus, a physician who receives diagnostic request can readily find out a specific request, that includes the requested study and also can readily select the study for the next patient. |
