Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a data processing system for a radiographic image reproduction processing device, and more particularly, to a data processing system for a radiographic image reproduction processing device, and in particular to at least one data processing system for accumulating and recording a radiographic image of a subject by irradiating a stimulable phosphor with radiation that has passed through a subject.
The present invention relates to a data processing system for a radiation image reproduction processing device, which includes an imaging device and an image reproduction device that later irradiates the stimulable phosphor with excitation light to read and reproduce the accumulated and recorded radiation image. .

Such an image reproduction processing device has been proposed in the past, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,859,527'4. A large number of stimulable phosphor sheets taken with a number of remotely located imaging devices are stored in one radiographic image processing room (hereinafter referred to as 1).
Image processing room. ) to centrally manage and perform image reproduction processing is desirable in terms of cost and performance of the entire system, but it is not possible to centrally manage information on individual phosphor sheets, subjects (patients, and imaging). There was a problem in how to make the correspondence, that is, in the identification information system. Furthermore, in such a radiographic image reproduction processing system, in order to achieve high diagnostic performance, information on the imaging conditions necessary for image reproduction processing and information on the accumulation and recording status of images on the phosphor sheet, that is, information on the accumulation amount distribution, are also required. , must be input into the image processing computer of the radiation image reproduction processing system in association with each phosphor sheet.

The low photosensitivity of stimulable phosphor sheets makes it difficult to optically record identification information as is used in conventional silver halide radiographic systems. Therefore, each phosphor sheet is given a unique identification code, for example one of a series of numbers, which is associated with the patient's name, date of birth.

Data unique to the patient such as gender, that is, subject data, as well as imaging data such as the date of imaging, imaging conditions, and the area to be imaged, are recorded on a slip (5) and sent to the image processing room, where individual fireflies are processed. There is a method of manually inputting data into an image reproduction processing computer based on a slip corresponding to the phosphor sheet when reproducing an image stored on a phosphor sheet. However, in such a system that centrally manages a large number of phosphor sheets of various sizes, the amount of work involved is enormous, and the possibility of operational errors is considerable.

Therefore, the present invention eliminates these conventional drawbacks, has a relatively simple operation, is less likely to cause errors, and can centrally manage a large number of phosphor sheets of various types and perform image reproduction processing. An object of the present invention is to provide a data processing system for a radiation image reproduction processing device.

This objective is achieved by a data processing system for a radiation image reproduction processing apparatus as follows. That is, this system includes a first system that is provided corresponding to an imaging device and inputs an identification code given to a stimulable phosphor in accordance with radiography performed by the imaging device and data related to the radiography.
(6) an input means, a storage means for storing the input data in association with the identification code, and a reading means for reading the identification code given to the radiographically photographed stimulable phosphor; The apparatus includes a search means for searching corresponding data stored in the storage means based on the identification code read by the reading means.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the search means may include a recording means for recording the retrieved data as a visible image on a recording medium together with the radiation image read by the image reproduction device.

In the present invention, a storage phosphor is a phosphor that is irradiated with an initial radiation such as X-rays, α-rays, β-rays, R-rays, ultraviolet rays, etc., and is then optically stimulated to correspond to the irradiation dose of the initial radiation. A phosphor that emits light again and has so-called "photostimulability."

Furthermore, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 55-163500 (9), the phosphor layer of a stimulable phosphor plate prepared using the above-mentioned stimulable phosphor is coated with a pigment or dye. Coloring improves the sharpness of the final image, which is preferable.

Next, embodiments of a data processing system for a radiographic image reproduction processing apparatus according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the system configuration of this data processing system. In the same figure, this system basically includes an overall control system 300 installed in an image processing room 100, and an identification information terminal 202 installed mainly in each photographing room 200B to 20ON. In the figure, each photographing room includes, for example, a cassette-type photographing stand 20 that uses a cassette 400 containing a single stimulable phosphor sheet.
Photographing rooms 200A and 200B equipped with 4, and a cassette-less type photographing table 206 that uses a magazine 402 containing a plurality of stimulable phosphor sheets.
0ON is shown in the figure, but the dotted line indicates that other imaging rooms similar to (10) may also exist.

The photographing room 200A is shown as a photographing room equipped with a cassette-type photographing stand 204 as an example of a photographing room not equipped with the identification information terminal 202. These photographing rooms 2008 to 20ON may be physically adjacent to each other or may be separated from each other. ! , it goes without saying that it may be physically close to the image processing room 100 or may be located remotely.

The overall control system 300 of the image processing room 100 controls each photography room 20.

The overall control system 300 includes image processing that processes the image signal read by the reading system 102 into an image signal suitable for recording in the image recording system 104, and processing of data received from each identification information terminal 202. This is a control system that oversees control of the entire system. In addition, for example, in a J: Una photography room such as 2GOA, which does not have an identification information terminal 202, an identification information terminal 202A that inputs data based on a memo 406 or the like is directly accommodated in the overall control system 300.

By the way, in the embodiment of the present invention, the cassette 400
As shown in FIG. 2, a label 410 is affixed to a predetermined position on a part of the stimulable phosphor sheet stored in the magazine 402, and an identification code unique to the phosphor sheet 408. For example, one of a series of consecutive numbers is displayed.

The present invention is not limited to this, and characters or numbers readable by an optical character reader (OCR), perforations, magnetic recording, or the like may be used.

A large number of stimulable phosphor sheets 408, which have been given unique sheet identification codes in this manner, are stored in a cassette 4004 or magazine 402, and distributed to each of the photographing rooms 200A to 20ON. 20 X-ray sources in each photography room 200A to 20ON
Photographed phosphor sheet 408 on which fluoroscopic images are accumulated and recorded by X-ray irradiation on the subject from 8 to the patient 210

The phosphor sheets 408 whose stored images have been read are distributed again to each of the photographing rooms 200A to 20ON in preparation for the next photographing. The flow of this phosphor sheet 408 is shown in FIG. 1 by a dotted line path 412.

According to the present invention, when the subject 210 is photographed in the photographing rooms 200B to 20ON, the sheet identification code (13) of the phosphor sheet 408 used and data regarding the subject 210 and its photographing are transmitted to the identification information terminal. Operate 202 to input the overall control system 3.
Transfer it to 00 and store it here.

In the photographing room 200A that does not have the terminal 202, these data are recorded, for example, in the form of a slip 406, and later inputted all at once from the terminal 202A in the image processing room 100. The overall control system 300 accumulates these data regarding the phosphor sheets 408 photographed in each photographing room 2008-20ON. Later, the reading system 102 reads each photo room 2008 to 200.

Corresponding data stored in the overall control system 300 is retrieved from the identification code of 02, and based on this data, the reading system 1
The image reading condition 2 image signal processing conditions of 02 are determined, and the image signal is processed. In the image recording system 104, subject data and other necessary data are recorded on a recording material as part of a visible image along with a reproduced image.

(14) These data include object data specific to the object, that is, the patient 210, and imaging data necessary for later setting of image processing conditions in the overall control system 300.

In this specification, these data are collectively referred to as "data regarding radiography." Subject data includes, for example, patient name, date of birth, and gender.

This includes imaging methods such as simple imaging and contrast imaging, and can be input, for example, from a sensor provided on the imaging platform 204, by keyboard operation, dial, or switch settings. Note that these data may include data such as the radiation accumulation amount distribution in the fluorescent sheet 1-408, that is, image data. The image data is
For example, it can also be obtained by inputting the output of an X-ray dose detection element (not shown) disposed on the back side of the phosphor sheet 1-408, as described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 56-11346. 17 is a patent application dated October 16, 1980 (

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the device configuration of the identification information terminal 202 installed in each of the photographing rooms 20011 to 20ON shown in FIG. The identification information terminal 202 identifies the sheets 1-4 displayed on the label 410 attached to the stimulable phosphor sheet.

This has a sensor output of a sensor 214 that optically detects the identification code on the label 410, for example, through a lead 21.
Receive from 6. The sensor 214 has a light emitting element (not shown) that irradiates the label 410 with a light beam and a photoelectric conversion element (not shown) that receives the light reflected by the label 410 and converts it into an electrical signal, and is used for cassette type photography. In the imaging room 200B equipped with a stand 204, a wave-shaped scanner is used to scan the label 410 through an opening 414 in a part of the cassette 400.
The identification code above may be manually scanned.

If you are still using the cassette-less type photographing table 206, press the photographing table 20.
A sensor 214 may be installed inside the fluorescent sheet 408 at a position facing the label 410 to detect the identification code. The identification code reading section 212 shapes the waveform of this sensor output, decodes it, and outputs it to the lead 218 as a digital signal representing the identification code of the label 410. The code reading unit 212 may have an error checking function for the read identification code (17).

The identification information terminal 202 in FIG. 2 has a keyboard 220 and a card reader 222 as input devices for inputting the aforementioned subject data and imaging data. Basically, a keyboard 220 with numeric keys and character keys is sufficient, but a card reader and (!f,
It would be advantageous if it also had Markunto League. For example, an identification card with an IJ horn (magnetic recorder) can be magnetically read by the car 1'' reader 222, and the aforementioned subject data can be input. Photographic data such as the date of photographing, tube voltage, etc. can be entered using the keyboard 220. However, these values may also be obtained from dials and switches set by the cinematographer on the operating device (not shown) of the photographing table 204, and from a sensor (not shown) installed on the photographing table 204. good.

A key card 220 and a card reader 222 (18) are connected to a second input 226 of the identity control section 224. The identification information control unit 224 is a control device that controls the entire identification information terminal 202, and may be realized by, for example, a microconbeater. Its important function is to associate the identification code of the phosphor sheet 408 used for each shot with the input data from the keyboard 220 and card reader 222. Therefore, the lead 22 is equipped with a recorder or memory for temporarily storing these identification codes and input data.
8 in response to a trigger signal ST given from the imaging stand 204. As the signal ST, a shot signal from an X-ray photographing button in an operating device (not shown) of the photographing table 204 or a sending signal from the phosphor sheet 408 can be used. When the trigger signal ST is activated, the identification information control section 224 supplies the temporarily stored identification code and input data to the output 230.

The output 230 of the identification information control unit 224 includes the transmission control unit 23
2 is connected, and this is the overall control system 3 of the image processing room 100.
This is a device that performs transmission control according to the communication protocol for communicating with 00. The identification code of the phosphor sheet 408 received by the lead 230 from the identification information control unit 224, and input data such as subject data and imaging data are assembled into Messeno blocks or 9 blocks of appropriate length, and then assembled into a header, trailer, etc. A menoseno identification code, a control code, and an error check code are added thereto and outputted in parallel to the lead 234, and activation of the communication line 404, transmission control, messageno transmission confirmation (ACK), restoration, etc. are performed.

The parallel output 234 of the transmission controller 232 is provided to a transmitter 236, where it is converted into a serial signal and sent to the line 404.
will be sent to. As the line 404, existing communication methods such as a baseband metallic line, an analog carrier line, and a dinotal line can be used depending on the distance to the overall control system 300, code format, and transmission speed. If line 404 is a carrier line, transmitter 236 requires a modem (MODEM). Note that if the line 404 is an asynchronous line, a start bit and a stop bit are also added.

If the distance to the overall control system 300 is still very short and the transmitter 236 is located within the same premises, the transmitter 236 may be removed and data may be transferred in parallel directly from the transmission control unit 232 to the overall control system 300. .

The identification information control unit 224 includes a backup storage device 238.
is connected, which may be, for example, a cassette magnetic tape device, a floppy disk device, or the like. Communication line 40
In the case of line failure, etc., the identification code and input data of the phosphor sheet 408 temporarily stored in the identification information control unit 224 are sequentially stored on a cassette magnetic tape or floppy disk, and later stored in the image processing room 100. or after the failure of the line 404 is recovered, the identification information control unit 22
4. It can be collectively transferred to the overall control system 300 via the transmission control unit 232 and the transmitter 236.

A display unit 240 for displaying the overall operating status of the identification information terminal 202 (21) is connected to the identification information control unit 224. Although this is preferably a cathode ray tube (CRT) display, for example, it may be integrated with the keyboard 220. A typewriter may also be used. This allows the operator to grasp the progress of the entire system, and also to receive instructions on how to input data from the sensor 214 of the identification code reader 212, the key 220, the card league 222, or the like.

The system configuration of the overall control system 300 is shown in FIG. The receivers 302B-302N are connected to the transmitter 236 in FIG. 2 via communication lines 404B-404N, respectively, and determine the bits of the data signals received from the lines 404B-404N, shape them into a serial digital signal, and send the data signals to the lead 304B.
~304N, respectively. In addition, line 404B~4
If 04N is a carrier line, a modem (MODEM),
In particular, it has a demodulator.

The leads 304B to 304N each have a reception control section 30.
6B to 306N are connected, which (22) cooperates with the transmission control unit 232 of the identification information terminal 202 to perform transmission control according to a predetermined communication protocol, and transmit data in the received message block or message. The codes are extracted and output in parallel to outputs 308B to 308N. Output leads 308B-308N also include leads that indicate that a data symbol has been received. Note that if the distance to the photographing room is very short, the receivers 302B to 302N and the reception control units 306B to 306N may be omitted to perform metallic parallel transmission.

Output 308 of each of these reception control units 306B to 306N
B to 308N are connected to the input of the transmission network control unit 310,
This also accommodates a data input terminal 202A. The data input terminal 202A is the identification information terminal 202, for example, the sheet 408 from the photo shooting room 200A.
The identification code, the subject, and the imaging data are input based on the slip 406 using the keyboard 312 and these data are input from the cassette magnetic cable or floppy disk created using the storage device 238 of the identification information terminal 202. Includes an auxiliary input device 314. The auxiliary input device therefore consists of a cassette magnetic tape device and/or a floppy disk device.

The transmission network control unit 310 includes each reception control unit 306B to 306N.
This is a control circuit for storing data sent from the data input terminal 202A into the file storage unit 318 in an orderly manner under the control of the overall control unit 316, and is responsible for controlling each channel and managing the empty/full status of files. Let's do it. Although blocks 310 and 316 are shown in FIG. 3 as functionally separate blocks, physically they can be implemented as a single unit by a microprocessor. In addition to this, the overall control unit 316 performs various controls of the overall control system 300 as described later.

The file storage unit 318 is a storage device for storing files of the identification code of the phosphor sheet 408 and corresponding subject data and imaging data, and is preferably a semiconductor memory. However, since semiconductor memory is volatile, a pack anonymous file 320 is provided so that even if the stored data is destroyed when the overall control system 300 goes down, it can be effectively dealt with during subsequent failure recovery. . This is a non-volatile mass storage device such as a floppy disk drive or a magnetic bubble memory, and has a redundant configuration that always has a copy of the stored contents of the file storage section 318.

By the way, the phosphor sheet 40 sent to the image processing room 100
8 is loaded into the reading system 102 and the stored image is read. At this time, a sensor 322 is provided in the sheet conveying section (not shown) of the reading system 102 in order to read the identification code of the sheet 408. The phosphor sheet 408 is available in various sizes, but the label 410 is the same as the sheet 408.
It is pasted within a prescribed position so that the sensor 322 can read it regardless of its size. The sensor 322 includes an optical element (not shown) (25) for irradiating a light beam onto the label 410 of the sheet 408, and a photoelectric conversion element (not shown) for detecting reflected light from the label 410. , label 41
The electrical signal corresponding to the identification code displayed on the lead 32
4 is output. The identification code reading section 326 reads this lead 3.
24 electrical signals are waveform-shaped and stored in an internal renostar (not shown) as an identification code. This reading operation is performed, for example, when the reader 328 receives a control signal rtD from the microsinch in response to the phosphor sheet 1-408 being sent to the image reading section (not shown) of the reading system 102. It is done. The sensor 322 and the identification code reading unit 326 are capable of processing a large number of phosphor sheets 408 of various types at once.
It is required to have higher reliability than the sensor 214 and the identification code reading section 212 of the identification information terminal 202, and may have a retry function and a reading position change function.

The overall control unit 316 responds to the identification code of the sheet 408 given from the reading unit 326 to the lead 330, searches for the corresponding subject data and imaging data from the stored file (26) in the file storage unit 316, It has a function of outputting to the lead 332.

An output 332 of the overall control unit 316 is connected to a formatter 334, which configures the retrieved object data and imaging data into a format suitable for recording, and outputs the format to a lead 336. A laser recording system 338 is connected to the lead 336, which modulates the intensity of the laser beam according to the subject and imaging data in a predetermined format on the lead 336, and records the laser beam in a predetermined area 34 of the film 340.
2. Visually record these data. In this way, the film 340 is exposed to the phosphor sheet 408 by the reading system 102.
An image signal read from and subjected to image processing by the overall control unit 316 is visibly recorded in an area 344, and data such as patient name and imaging conditions are visibly recorded in an area 342 in a visible manner. can be obtained.

The overall control unit 316 is connected to a console 346 having a man-machine interface (!: 'l display section and operation section) for the overall control system 300.
In addition to monitoring and operating the operation of the entire system, it is also possible to manually search for the subject and imaging data by inputting, for example, the identification code of the phosphor sheet 408. For example, the fluorescent sheet 1-408 whose identification code was automatically read in the identification code reader 326 in error is loaded into the cassette 400, but the operator reads the identification code through the opening 414 and performs operation 9346. This can be entered using the keyboard.

In accordance with the identification code of Sheet 1-408 that has been manually input in this manner, subsequent search and recording of subject data and imaging data is performed in the same manner as normal automatic search and recording.

To summarize the operation of this system, each photography room 200B-2
When photographing the subject 210 on the fluorescent sheet 1-408 with 0ON, the identification code read from the label 410 of the sheet 408 by the X-ray technician using the sensor 214 and the key from the card 220 and card reader 222 The input object data and imaging data are stored in the identification information control unit 224.
The images are combined for each X-ray imaging (shot) and transferred to the overall control system 300 via the transmission control unit 232 and transmitter 236. Also photographed phosphor sheet 408
are collectively sent to the image processing room 100 for each photography room.

The overall control system 300 sequentially stores the identification code of the sheet 408, the subject data, and the imaging data transmitted via the communication lines 404B to 404N in the file storage section 318 under the control of the overall control section 316. Before reading the accumulated image of the photographed phosphor sheet 408 with the reading system 102, the overall control unit 316 searches the file storage unit 318 and takes action based on the identification code on the label 410 of the sheet 408 read by the sensor 322. The subject data and imaging data on the sheet 408 to be examined are retrieved. Overall control section 3
16 performs signal processing on the accumulated image of the corresponding sheet (29) 408 based on these retrieved data, and formatter 3
A visible record of images and data is formed on film 340 via 34 and laser recording system 338 . Note that data from the photography room 200A that is not equipped with the identification information terminal 202 is input to the data input terminal 202A based on the memo 406, etc.
, and is filed in the file storage section 318.

By having the data processing system of the radiation image reproduction processing device according to the present invention configured as described above, management of the photographed stimulable phosphor sheet and processing according to the photographing conditions of the stored image can be performed on the stimulable phosphor sheet. This can be done reliably based on the identification code attached to the Machine-readable displays such as bar codes are used to enter the sheet identification code, and other data are entered using keys or magnetic cards, so there is less chance of errors and ease of handling. is also easy.

The sheet identification code and data input in this way are filed in a storage device, and a search is performed based on the identification code read when reading the image of the fluorescent sheet (30). A large number of phosphor sheets can be processed quickly and intensively. Furthermore, a plurality of identification information terminals can be accommodated in one overall control system, and it has expandability that allows the number of identification information terminals to be added according to the scale of the system. Additionally, the system has a redundant configuration to protect against line failures and system failures, making it highly reliable. Therefore, individual phosphor sheets can be centrally managed with high reliability.

Although a specific embodiment of the data processing system of the radiographic image reproduction processing device according to the present invention has been described above, this is merely an explanation and does not limit the present invention, and those skilled in the art will understand the spirit of the present invention. Various transformations and modifications are possible without departing from the scope. For example, in the embodiment shown in FIG.
For example, a label 410 may be formed as a magnetic recording medium on this sheet, and a unique identification code may be magnetically recorded on the label 410 when the sheet 408 is photographed. In that case, an identification code generating section and a magnetic recording circuit would be required in place of the identification code reading section 212 and sensor 214 of the identification information terminal 202, respectively.

Alternatively, instead of providing an identification code generator for each identification information terminal 202, the overall control unit 316 allocates the identification code, and each identification information terminal 202 requests the overall control system 300 to allocate an identification code each time radiography is performed. The identification code thus given may then be magnetically recorded on the sheet 408 by a magnetic recording circuit.
