Information that can identify a subject includes a subject ID, a visit number, and the like in addition to the subject name. As an example of speech recognition by the speech recognition unit 12, for example, a specific keyword for extracting information that can identify a subject is determined, and the specific keyword is extracted from the input speech and stored as information that can identify the subject. May be. As an example of a keyword, for example, “Waiting for the number” is set, and when the voice “Waiting for the number XX” is input, It may be extracted as a specimen ID. Also, if you set the keyword “Waiting for” and “Mr.” and there is a voice input “Mr. The start is set immediately before “san” as the end of extraction. Then, the words between “waiting for” and “san” may be extracted as the subject name. As another example, only when the subject information is uttered, the microphone 113 of the medical image processing apparatus 102 is manually turned on, and the voice uttered during the ON can be stored as information that can identify the subject. Good. For example, when calling “Mr. XX” waiting in the XXX department, the switch of the microphone 113 is switched only when “XXX” immediately before “Ms.” is spoken immediately after “Waiting for”. Turn it on. In this case, information input from the microphone 113 is extracted as information that can specify the subject. As mentioned above, although the example of the voice recognition was given, the method of the voice recognition by the voice recognition unit 12 is not limited to the above, and a technique for extracting information that can identify the subject using the voice uttered by the operator. Any method can be applied. The voice recognizing unit 12 converts information that can identify the subject including the extracted voice information into information in a format applicable as a search code, such as text information. The information that can identify the subject after the conversion is used for acquiring the following examination information and searching for image information. Note that if the RIS 103 and the PACS 104 have a function that enables order information and image search using information that can identify a subject consisting of voice information before conversion, the order information and image search are performed using the voice information.
