Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for performing an operation check after updating software installed in a medical diagnostic apparatus.

  To check whether the software installed in the medical diagnostic device operates normally after updating the software installed in the medical diagnostic device, or to check whether the operation of other software is affected. After the software update, the operation of the medical diagnostic apparatus is confirmed.

The following two methods are performed as an operation confirmation method after the update.
(1) A service person goes to a site such as a hospital, installs software in the medical diagnostic apparatus, and then checks the operation of the medical diagnostic apparatus.
(2) When the medical diagnostic apparatus and the service center are connected via a network, a service person installs software from the service center to the medical diagnostic apparatus via the network, and then the medical diagnostic apparatus via the network Check the operation.

  In addition, a new function is added to the medical diagnostic apparatus with the software update, but it is necessary to perform settings so that the newly added function is normally executed.

  However, since the functions added to the medical diagnostic apparatus along with the software update are sold as options, they often have different optional configurations for each hospital or medical diagnostic apparatus. For example, the function A is added to the medical diagnosis apparatus installed in the hospital A, but the function B different from the function A is added to the medical diagnosis apparatus installed in the hospital B different from the hospital A. There is.

  As described above, the option configuration differs for each hospital and medical diagnostic device, so the service person sets different optional functions (newly added functions) for each hospital and medical diagnostic device. It is necessary to check different operations depending on the optional functions of the medical diagnostic apparatus. The service person checks the operation of the medical diagnostic apparatus according to the service manual (software update procedure manual).

[First Embodiment]
(Constitution)
The configuration of the medical diagnostic apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the medical diagnostic apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  The medical diagnostic apparatus 1 and the service center 4 are connected via a network. Although only one medical diagnostic apparatus 1 is connected to the service center 4 in the figure, a plurality of medical diagnostic apparatuses may be connected. The medical diagnostic apparatus 1 corresponds to an X-ray CT apparatus, an MRI apparatus, an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, or the like.

  The service center 4 is provided with an option configuration information database 41. The option configuration information database 41 stores information indicating the optional function added to each medical diagnostic apparatus 1 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “option configuration information”). That is, information indicating what optional functions are purchased and incorporated in the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 in each hospital or each medical diagnostic apparatus 1 is stored in the option configuration information database. This optional configuration information is stored in the optional configuration information database 41 in association with device identification information for specifying the medical diagnostic device 1. Thereby, it is possible to search for an optional function added to each medical diagnostic apparatus 1 using the apparatus identification information as a search key.

  The medical diagnosis unit 2 collects medical image data by photographing a subject. The operation confirmation unit 3 confirms setting items for executing optional functions added to the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 and confirms the operation of the medical diagnostic apparatus 1.

  The device information storage unit 21 stores device identification information for specifying the medical diagnostic device 1. As the device identification information, for example, the serial ID, the Mac address, the device name, the modality name of the medical diagnostic device 1, or the version of the installed software can be used. These pieces of identification information are unique information that the service center 4 can authenticate.

  The device ID acquisition unit 31 acquires the device identification information stored in the device information storage unit 21 and sends it to the option configuration information acquisition unit 32.

  The option configuration information acquisition unit 32 searches the option configuration information database 41 managed by the service center 4 using the device identification information acquired by the device ID acquisition unit 31 as a search key, and associates it with the device identification information. Obtained option configuration information via the network. Then, the option configuration information acquisition unit 32 sends the option configuration information to the setting information confirmation unit 33 and the test plan determination unit 35.

  In the apparatus setting information storage unit 22, information indicating whether or not an item that needs to be set (environment setting) is set for each option function, and if set, the set value or character string Is remembered. By setting an optional function (environment setting), the optional function can be operated normally in the medical diagnostic apparatus 1.

  Here, optional functions will be described. For example, a function conforming to the DICOM standard is added to the medical diagnostic apparatus 1. For example, it is assumed that “DICOM Kit Option A” includes optional functions of “Storage Committing Function”, “MWM Function”, and “MPPS Function” compliant with the DICOM standard. Further, it is assumed that “DICOM Kit option B” different from “DICOM Kit option A” does not include an optional function such as “Storage Comment function” included in “DICOM Kit option A”. In the medical diagnostic apparatus in which the “DICOM Kit option A” is installed, various settings for operating the above functions need to be performed. When each optional function is set, information indicating that an item necessary for executing the optional function has been set, and the set value and character string are stored in the device setting information storage unit 22. The

  As an example of the function, “Storage Commitment Function” will be described. This function is a function for notifying the storage status of image data and the like, and in order for this function to operate normally, it is necessary for the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 to set up a network with the communication partner. For example, it is necessary to set items such as “Storage destination AE Title” indicating the name of the communication partner, a port number to be used, an IP address, and a Gate Way in the medical diagnostic apparatus 1. By setting these items normally, the “Storage Commitment function” operates normally on the medical diagnostic apparatus 1. Each function is set by a service person or a user. Each item is set by inputting a value or a character string into each item using an operation unit (not shown) set in the medical diagnostic apparatus 1. Then, when an item such as “AE Title of Storage Destination” is set, information indicating that an item necessary for executing the “Storage Comment Function” is set, and a value set for each item, A character string is stored in the device setting information storage unit 22.

  When the setting information confirmation unit 33 receives the option configuration information from the option configuration information acquisition unit 32, the setting information confirmation unit 33 refers to the option configuration information and confirms items to be set in the medical diagnostic apparatus 1. For example, when the option configuration information includes the “Storage Comment function”, the setting information confirmation unit 33 sets the items to be set in the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 (for example, “Storage destination AE” in order to execute this function). "Title" and the port number to be used).

  Then, the setting information confirmation unit 33 determines whether information indicating that a necessary item is set is stored in the device setting information storage unit 22 based on the option configuration information. When information indicating that a necessary item is set is not stored in the device setting information storage unit 22, the setting information confirmation unit 33 determines that a necessary item is not set. On the other hand, when information indicating that a necessary item is set is stored in the device setting information storage unit 22, the setting information confirmation unit 33 determines that the necessary item is set.

  Further, when it is determined that an item necessary for executing the optional function is set, the setting information confirmation unit 33 determines whether the set value or character string is an appropriate value or character string. . In other words, the setting information confirmation unit 33 determines whether an appropriate value or character string is input to the setting item for each option function and stored in the device setting information storage unit 22.

  For example, the option configuration information includes appropriate setting values and setting character strings for each option function. The setting information confirmation unit 33 compares appropriate setting values and setting character strings included in the option configuration information with the setting values and setting character strings stored in the setting information storage unit 22, and stores them in the setting information storage unit 22. It is determined whether or not the stored setting value or setting character string is an appropriate value or character string.

  For example, when the option configuration information includes “Storage Comment function”, the setting information confirmation unit 33 includes items necessary for executing the option function (for example, “Storage destination AE Title”, port number, and the like). ) Is stored in the apparatus setting information storage unit 22. If the setting information storage unit 22 stores information indicating that an item necessary for executing the optional function is set, the setting information confirmation unit 33 determines that the necessary item is set. If no information indicating that it has been set is stored, it is determined that a necessary item has not been set. Further, when it is determined that necessary items are set, the setting information confirmation unit 33 determines that the value or character string set in the “Storage destination AE Title” or the port number to be used is an appropriate value or character. Judge whether it is a row or not. For example, an appropriate setting value or setting character string included in the option configuration information is compared with a setting value or setting character string stored in the setting information storage unit 22, and the set value or character string is an appropriate value. Or it is judged whether it is a character string.

  As described above, based on the option configuration information, it is determined whether the items necessary for executing the optional functions are set, and whether the appropriate setting values and character strings are set. By automatically performing for each optional function added to each medical diagnostic apparatus 1, it is possible to reduce the burden of checking the setting items by the operator (serviceman). As a result, it is possible to prevent setting errors of necessary items for each optional function, and to prevent malfunction of the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 in advance.

  The setting information confirmation unit 33 sends the determination result to the display unit 23. When it is determined in the medical diagnosis apparatus 1 that an item necessary for executing the optional function is not set, the setting information confirmation unit 33 indicates that an item required for executing the optional function is not set. Information is sent to the display unit 23. If it is determined that there is an error in the value or character string set in the medical diagnostic apparatus 1, the setting information confirmation unit 33 sends information indicating the item in which the error has been confirmed to the display unit 23. On the other hand, when it is determined that an appropriate setting has been made for an item necessary for executing the optional function, the setting information confirmation unit 33 sends information indicating that the setting item has no problem to the display unit 23.

  The display unit 23 displays information sent from the setting information confirmation unit 33. The display unit 23 includes, for example, (1) a name of an optional function incorporated in the medical diagnostic apparatus 1, (2) a setting item confirmed by the setting information confirmation unit 33, (3) a result of the confirmation, (4) Operation contents to be performed next by the operator (serviceman), (5) If there is an error in the setting item, (6) How to correct the item in which the setting is incorrect, (7) If there is an error in the setting Display faults that occur in some cases. These pieces of information are sent from the setting information confirmation unit 33 and displayed on the display unit 23. Further, these pieces of information may be recorded as a log (history) of operation confirmation information.

  This display example will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed on the display unit. Here, a case where the setting information confirmation unit 33 confirms the setting item of the “Storage Commitment Function” in a state where the “Storage Commitment Function” is added to the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 will be described. The result (judgment result) confirmed by the setting information confirmation unit 33 is displayed in the setting information confirmation result column.

  In order to execute the “Storage Comment function”, it is necessary to perform network settings in the medical diagnostic apparatus 1. As described above, “Storage destination AE Title”, port number to be used, IP address, and Gate Way Etc. need to be set.

  For items for which appropriate values and character strings are set, a “re” mark indicating that there is no problem in the setting is displayed on the display unit 23. For example, for the items “Host Name”, “AE Title”, and “Gateway”, the setting information confirmation unit 33 determines that an appropriate value or character string has been set, so the “Re” mark is displayed. It is displayed in the part 23.

  On the other hand, for an item having an error in the set value or character string, a “Fail” mark indicating that there is a problem in the setting is displayed on the display unit 23. For example, regarding the item “IP Address”, since it is determined that there is an error in the value or character string set by the setting information confirmation unit 33, the “Fail” mark is displayed on the display unit 23.

  Furthermore, the display unit 23 may display a comprehensive result as a confirmation result of the setting information. In the example illustrated in FIG. 3, since there is an error in the setting of “IP Address”, “Fail” is displayed on the display unit 23 as a comprehensive result.

  Moreover, you may display the operation content which an operator (serviceman) should perform next on the display part 23. FIG. In the example illustrated in FIG. 3, since there is an error in the setting of “IP Address”, “Please reset IP Address” is displayed on the display unit 23 as the operation content to be performed next. The operator (serviceman) can easily recognize the operation to be performed next by referring to this display. Furthermore, an operation procedure (correction procedure) to be performed by the operator (service man) may be displayed on the display unit 23.

  Further, the date and time (occurrence time) when the setting information is confirmed, a failure when the setting is incorrect, and the like may be displayed on the display unit 23 as detailed information. For example, “No inspection image can be acquired from RIS server due to IP Address not set” is displayed as the failure.

  The test plan database 34 stores a test plan indicating an operation to be performed for each optional function. This test plan describes the operation to be performed and its procedure (workflow). The test plan determination unit 35 refers to the test plan database 34 using the option configuration information sent from the option configuration information acquisition unit 32 as a search key, acquires a test plan to be executed as an operation check test, and tests the test plan. The data is sent to the plan execution unit 36.

  Here, the operation to be confirmed for each optional function will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of an operation to be confirmed for each option function. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the standard of image data that can be handled by the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 by adding each optional function is shown. In the table of FIG. 2, the standard marked with “x” indicates that the optional function is not supported, and the standard marked with “○” indicates that it is supported by the optional function. Yes.

  First, functions relating to image data transfer over a network will be described with reference to FIG. For example, when the optional function is not added to the medical diagnostic apparatus 1, still images such as DICOM standard still images, JPEG still images, DICOM standard moving images, and AVI standard moving images are not supported. These still images and operations cannot be transferred to other devices such as an image server via the network.

  On the other hand, since the “DICOM Kit Option A” supports DICOM standard still images, the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 to which the “DICOM Kit Option A” is added transmits the DICOM standard still images via the network. It can be transferred to other devices. On the other hand, since still images such as JPEG, DICOM standard moving images, and AVI standard moving images are not supported, the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 cannot transfer JPEG still images or the like to other apparatuses via a network. In the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 to which this optional function (“DICOM Kit option A”) is added, a DICOM standard still image can be transferred via a network, so that a DICOM standard still image is supported as an operation check. A test will be conducted to confirm whether or not

  For “DICOM Kit Option A”, an operation for checking whether or not a DICOM standard still image is supported and its procedure (workflow) are stored in the test plan database 34 as a test plan. The test plan determination unit 35 acquires a test plan for “DICOM Kit option A” from the test plan database 34 using the option configuration information (information indicating “DICOM Kit option A”) as a search key, and tests the test plan. The data is sent to the plan execution unit 36.

  In addition, since “DICOM Kit option B” supports DICOM standard still images and moving images, the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 to which “DICOM Kit option B” has been added is a DICOM standard still image and moving image. Can be transferred to other devices via the network. On the other hand, since still images such as JPEG and AVI standard moving images are not supported, the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 cannot transfer a JPEG still image or the like to another device via a network. In the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 to which this optional function (“DICOM Kit option B”) is added, a DICOM standard still image and a moving image can be transferred via a network. A test will be conducted to confirm whether the video is supported.

  As for “DICOM Kit Option B”, an operation for checking whether or not DICOM standard still images and moving images are supported and its procedure (workflow) are stored in the test plan database 34 as a test plan. The test plan determination unit 35 acquires a test plan for “DICOM Kit option B” from the test plan database 34 using the option configuration information (information indicating “DICOM Kit option B”) as a search key, and tests the test plan. The data is sent to the plan execution unit 36.

  In addition, since the supported functions may differ depending on the transfer destination of image data, it is necessary to check the operation for each transfer destination. For example, the function of transferring image data to a CD-R will be described with reference to FIG. When the optional function is not added to the medical diagnostic apparatus 1, the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 can transfer a still image such as JPEG and a moving image of the AVI standard to the CD-R even in this state.

  On the other hand, since “DICOM Kit Option A” supports still images such as DICOM standard still images, JPEG still images, and AVI standard moving images, this “DICOM Kit Option A” has been added to the medical diagnostic apparatus. 1 can transfer a DICOM standard still image, a still image such as JPEG, and an AVI standard moving image to the CD-R. Therefore, the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 to which this optional function (“DICOM Kit Option A”) is added supports DICOM standard still images, JPEG still images, and AVI standard moving images as operation checks. A test will be carried out to confirm whether or not it exists.

  For “DICOM Kit Option B”, DICOM standard still images and moving images, still images such as JPEG, and AVI standard moving images are supported, so this “DICOM Kit Option B” is added The diagnostic apparatus 1 can transfer DICOM standard still images and moving images, still images such as JPEG, and AVI standard moving images to the CD-R. Therefore, the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 to which this optional function (“DICOM Kit option B”) is added supports DICOM standard still images and moving images, JPEG and other still images, and AVI standard moving images as operation checks. A test will be conducted to confirm whether or not

  In FIG. 2, image data transfer via a network and image data transfer to a CD-R have been described. However, image data transfer to other types of recording devices is also supported for each optional function. Different image data standards are used, and the operations to be checked differ depending on the option function. In this embodiment, image data transfer has been described as an example. However, for optional functions other than image data transfer, a test plan is prepared for each option function, and the test plan database 34 uses the option configuration information as a search key. Can be obtained from.

  The test plan execution unit 36 reads the test plan acquired by the test plan determination unit 35, controls each unit of the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 and executes the operations included in the test plan in the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 according to a procedure (workflow). Let

  As described above, a test plan is acquired based on option configuration information indicating an optional function added to each medical diagnostic apparatus 1, and the test plan is added to each medical diagnostic apparatus 1. It is possible to check the operation according to the optional function. As a result, it is possible to reduce the burden of operation confirmation work by the operator (serviceman), and it is possible to reduce verification errors in operation confirmation.

  In addition, when an operation included in the test plan is executed, the test plan execution unit 36 determines whether the operation is normally executed and sends the determination result to the display unit 23. Judgment as to whether or not the operation is normal is performed, for example, by comparing with preset data.

  When the test is not normally executed, the operation plan execution unit 36 displays on the display unit 23 (1) information indicating an operation determined to be inappropriate, (2) information indicating a reason for being determined inappropriate, and (3) an inappropriate operation. Information indicating the cause of the trouble, (4) the contents of the operation to be performed next by the operator, and the like. Further, these pieces of information may be recorded as a log (history) of operation confirmation information.

  When the display unit 23 receives information indicating a determination result or the like from the test plan execution unit 36, the display unit 23 displays the information. Here, an example of the determination result displayed on the display unit 23 will be described with reference to FIG. Here, a case will be described in which an operation check is performed on a function related to image data transfer. The result (judgment result) confirmed by the test plan execution unit 36 is displayed in the operation confirmation result column.

  When a certain operation is normally executed, a “re” mark indicating that the operation has been normally executed is displayed on the display unit 23. On the other hand, when a certain operation is not normally executed, a “Fail” mark indicating that the operation has not been normally executed is displayed on the display unit 23.

  For example, regarding the function of transferring image data to the image server, the transfer of still image data, DICOM moving image data, and AVI moving image data has failed, so that a “Fail” mark indicating that the operation has not been executed normally is displayed. It is displayed on the display unit 23. On the other hand, for the function of transferring the image data to the CD-R, since the transfer of the still image data, the DICOM moving image data, and the AVI moving image data has been successful, a “re” mark indicating that the operation has been executed normally. Is displayed on the display unit 23.

  Furthermore, the total result may be displayed on the display unit 23 as a result of the operation check. In the example shown in FIG. 3, since the transfer of the image data to the image server has failed, “Fail” is displayed on the display unit 23 as a comprehensive result.

  Moreover, you may display the operation content which an operator (serviceman) should perform next on the display part 23. FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 3, since the transfer of the image data to the image server has failed, “Please reset IP Address” is displayed on the display unit 23 as the operation content to be performed next. The operator (serviceman) can easily recognize the operation to be performed next by referring to this display. Furthermore, an operation procedure (correction procedure) to be performed by the operator (service man) may be displayed on the display unit 23.

  Furthermore, the display unit 23 may display detailed information about the date and time when the operation was confirmed, or a failure due to a certain operation not being executed normally. For example, the failure is displayed on the display unit 23, such as “Unable to acquire an inspection image from the RIS server because IP Address is not set”.

  The medical diagnostic apparatus 1 includes an arithmetic device such as a CPU, and by reading an operation check program, a device ID acquisition unit 31, an option configuration information acquisition unit 32, a setting information confirmation unit 33, and a test plan determination unit 35. And the function of the test plan execution unit 36. This operation check program is included in an installation medium for software update, and may be installed in the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 at the same time as the software update, and is recorded on a medium other than the installation medium for software update. It may be installed in the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 separately from the software update.

  In addition, the test plan stored in the test plan database 34 may be included in the software update installation media as well as the operation check program, and may be included in other media including the operation check program. It may be. The test plan is installed in the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 together with the operation confirmation program.

(Operation)
Next, a series of operations (operation check method of the medical diagnostic apparatus) performed by the medical diagnostic apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a series of operations of the medical diagnostic apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

(Step S01)
First, in step S01, a new optional function is added to the medical diagnostic apparatus 1, and the software incorporated in the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 is updated. For example, a service person adds a new optional function to the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 using an installation medium for software update. At this time, the operation check program and the test plan may be installed in the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 simultaneously with the software update, or may be installed separately from the software update.

  When the software update in step S01 is completed and the service person gives an operation confirmation instruction to the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 using an operation unit (not shown), the operation confirmation unit 3 performs processing for confirming the operation of the medical diagnostic apparatus 1. Execute.

(Step S02)
When an operation confirmation instruction is given, the device ID acquisition unit 31 acquires device identification information such as a serial ID stored in the device information storage unit 21 and sends it to the option configuration information acquisition unit 32.

(Step S03)
In step S03, the option configuration information acquisition unit 32 accesses the service center 4 via the network, and the option configuration managed by the service center 4 using the device identification information acquired by the device ID acquisition unit 31 as a search key. The information database 41 is searched, and optional configuration information associated with the device identification information is acquired. Then, the option configuration information acquisition unit 32 sends the acquired option configuration information to the setting information confirmation unit 33 and the test plan determination unit 35.

(Step S04)
In step S <b> 04, the setting information confirmation unit 33 refers to the option configuration information acquired by the option configuration information acquisition unit 32 and confirms items to be set in the medical diagnostic apparatus 1. For example, when the optional configuration information includes an optional function called “Storage Comment function”, the setting information confirmation unit 33 confirms items to be set in the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 in order to execute the function. In the case of this optional function, for example, items such as “Storage destination AE Title” indicating the name of the communication partner side, the port number to be used, and Gate Way need to be set in the medical diagnostic apparatus 1. Is normally set, the “Storage Commitment Function” operates normally on the medical diagnostic apparatus 1. In this example, the setting information confirmation unit 33 confirms items to be set in order to execute the “Storage Commitment function”.

(Step S05)
In step S05, the setting information confirmation unit 33 determines whether or not an item corresponding to the option configuration has been set in the medical diagnostic apparatus 1. That is, the setting information confirmation unit 33 stores information indicating that necessary items are set in the device setting information storage unit 22 based on the option configuration information acquired by the option configuration information income unit 32. Determine whether or not.

  For example, if the “Configuration Comment function” is included in the option configuration information, the setting information confirmation unit 33 executes items for executing the optional function (for example, “AE Title of Storage destination” or port number). It is determined whether or not information indicating that is set is stored in the device setting information storage unit 22. When information indicating that the “Storage destination AE Title”, port number, or the like has been set is stored in the apparatus setting information storage unit 22, the setting information confirmation unit 33 determines that a necessary item has been set. If no information indicating that it has been set is stored, it is determined that a necessary item has not been set.

  Further, when it is determined that necessary items are set, the setting information confirmation unit 33 determines whether the set value or character string is an appropriate value or character string. For example, the option configuration information includes an appropriate setting value or setting character string for each option function, and the setting information confirmation unit 33 includes an appropriate setting value or setting character string included in the option configuration information, The setting value or setting character string stored in the setting information storage unit 22 is compared to determine whether the setting value or setting character string stored in the setting information storage unit 22 is an appropriate value or character string. .

  For example, if the “Configuration Comment function” is included in the optional configuration information, the setting information confirmation unit 33 sets the “Storage destination AE Title”, the port number, and the like, which are items for executing the optional function. Judgment is made as to whether the obtained value or character string is an appropriate value or character string. Then, the setting information confirmation unit 33 sends the determination result to the display unit 23.

(Step S06)
In step S06, information sent from the setting information confirmation unit 33 is displayed on the display unit 23. For example, when the setting item of “Storage Commitment Function” is confirmed, as shown in FIG. 3, the confirmation result of items such as IP address, Host Name, AE Title, and Gateway is displayed on the display unit 23 as the network setting confirmation result. Is displayed. For the items “Host Name”, “AE Title”, and “Gateway”, the setting information confirmation unit 33 determines that an appropriate value or character string has been set. A mark is displayed on the display unit 23. On the other hand, regarding the item “IP Address”, since it is determined that there is an error in the value or character string set by the setting information confirmation unit 33, the “Fail” mark is displayed on the display unit 23.

  Furthermore, you may display the comprehensive result as a confirmation result of setting information on the display part 23. FIG. In this example, since there is an error in the setting of “IP Address”, “Fail” is displayed on the display unit 23 as a comprehensive result.

  In addition, the display unit 23 may display an operation content or a correction procedure to be performed next by the operator (serviceman). For example, “Please reset IP Address” is displayed as the operation content. The operator (serviceman) can easily recognize the operation to be performed next by referring to this display.

  Further, the date and time (occurrence time) when the setting information is confirmed, a failure when the setting is incorrect, and the like may be displayed on the display unit 23 as detailed information.

(Steps S07, S08)
Then, the serviceman refers to the confirmation result of the setting item displayed on the display unit 23 (step S07), and determines whether there is a problem with the item to be set. For example, if information indicating that a necessary item is not set is displayed, or if an item for which an error has been confirmed in a setting value or the like is displayed, it is determined that there is a problem in the setting contents.

(Step S09)
If the item to be set is not set or there is an error in the set value (step S08, No), the service person inputs a value or character string to the item that has not been set yet, Modify the entered settings or text. When the problem setting is corrected, the processing from step S02 to step S08 is performed to check whether there is a setting omission and whether there is a setting value or character string error.

  As described above, an optional function added to each medical diagnostic apparatus 1 for determining whether or not necessary items are set and determining whether or not appropriate setting values and character strings are set. It is possible to reduce the burden of confirmation work by the operator (serviceman) by automatically performing each time. As a result, it is possible to prevent setting errors of necessary items for each optional function, and to prevent malfunction of the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 beforehand. As a result, the software update operation in the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 can be performed smoothly. In other words, even if different optional functions are added for each hospital or medical diagnostic device, the operator does not have to perform complicated work (checking the setting items) as in the conventional technology. Item confirmation mistakes can be prevented.

(Step S10)
When items to be set for executing the optional function are set, and appropriate setting values, character strings, and the like are set for executing the optional function (step S08, Yes), the test plan determining unit 35 Refers to the test plan database 34 using the option configuration information acquired by the option configuration information acquisition unit 32 as a search key, acquires a test plan to be executed as a test of operation check, and sends it to the test plan execution unit 36.

  An example of the test plan will be described with reference to FIG. For example, if “DICOM Kit option A” is included in the option configuration information, the test plan determination unit 35 uses the option configuration information (information indicating “DICOM Kit option A”) as a search key and the test plan database 34. Acquires a test plan for “DICOM Kit Option A” and sends it to the test plan execution unit 36. Since "DICOM Kit Option A" supports DICOM standard still images, the test plan includes an operation and procedure (workflow) for confirming whether or not DICOM standard still images are supported. It is included.

  When the option configuration information includes “DICOM Kit option B”, the test plan determination unit 35 uses the option configuration information (information indicating “DICOM Kit option B”) as a search key, and the test plan database 34. Obtains a test plan for “DICOM Kit Option B” and sends it to the test plan execution unit 36. Since “DICOM Kit Option B” supports DICOM standard still images and moving images, the test plan includes an operation for checking whether or not DICOM standard still images and moving images are supported. Procedure (workflow) is included.

(Step S11)
In step S11, the test plan execution unit 36 reads the test plan acquired by the test plan determination unit 35, controls each unit of the medical diagnostic apparatus 1, and performs the medical diagnosis according to the procedure (workflow). The apparatus 1 is made to execute. Then, the test plan execution unit 36 determines whether or not the operation has been normally executed, and sends the determination result to the display unit 23. For example, it is determined whether or not the operation has been normally executed by comparing preset data with an output value obtained by executing the operation.

  For example, when confirming the operation of the optional function “DICOM Kit Option A”, a DICOM standard still image is actually transferred to another device via the network. Then, the test plan execution unit 36 determines whether or not the DICOM standard still image has been transferred normally.

(Step S12)
When the display unit 23 receives information indicating the determination result from the test plan execution unit 36, the display unit 23 displays the determination result. For example, when an operation check is performed for a function related to transfer of image data, a mark indicating whether transfer has been performed normally is displayed on the display unit 23 as shown in FIG.

  Regarding the function of transferring the image data to the image server, since the transfer of still image data, DICOM moving image data, and AVI moving image data has failed, a “Fail” mark indicating that the operation has not been executed normally is displayed on the display unit. 23. On the other hand, for the function of transferring image data to the CD-R, since the transfer of still image data, DICOM moving image data, and AVI moving image data has succeeded, a “re” mark indicating that the operation has been executed normally is displayed. It is displayed on the display unit 23.

  Furthermore, the total result may be displayed on the display unit 23 as a result of the operation check. In the example shown in FIG. 3, since the transfer of the image data to the image server has failed, “Fail” is displayed on the display unit 23 as a comprehensive result.

  In addition, the display unit 23 may display an operation content or a correction procedure to be performed next by the operator (serviceman). In the example shown in FIG. 3, since the transfer of the image data to the image server has failed, “Please reset IP Address” is displayed on the display unit 23 as the operation content to be performed next. The operator (serviceman) can easily recognize the operation to be performed next by referring to this display.

  Furthermore, the display unit 23 may display detailed information about the date and time when the operation was confirmed, or a failure due to a certain operation not being executed normally.

(Steps S13 and S14)
When the test plan execution unit 36 determines that the operation included in the test plan has been normally executed (step S13, Yes), the operation check of the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 is terminated. On the other hand, when the test plan execution unit 36 determines that the operation included in the test plan has not been executed normally (No in step S13), the service person corrects the value or character string input to the setting item. (Step S14). Then, when the problem setting is corrected, the process after step S02 is executed to check whether there is a setting omission, whether there is an error in the setting value or the character string, and, further, a test plan for each optional function. By executing this, the operation of the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 is confirmed.

  As described above, a test plan corresponding to each optional function is prepared, a test plan is acquired based on the option configuration information, and the test plan is executed, and the test plan is added to each medical diagnostic apparatus 1. It is possible to check the operation according to the optional function. As a result, it is possible to reduce the burden of operation confirmation by an operator (serviceman), to prevent a verification error in operation confirmation, and to prevent malfunction of the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 in advance. As a result, the software update operation in the medical diagnostic apparatus 1 can be performed smoothly. In other words, even if different optional functions are added for each hospital or medical diagnostic device, it is not necessary for the operator to perform complicated work (operation check) as in the prior art. Verification errors can be prevented.
