Direct manipulation of medical imaging methods

The invention relates to a method for directly manipulating medical images, in particular to an educational training use of a medical institution, so that clinical medical personnel can perform operations like clinical medical images directly on an electronic reading operation mechanism, thereby increasing clinical practice. The person who learns and interprets the experience.

Press, there are many forms of general e-books, such as TXT format, EPUB format, DOC format, HTML format, CHM format, PDF format, etc. Most of these formats can be opened by using the Microsoft Windows operating system to automatically open the corresponding software reading or production hardware device.

However, such e-books are a single specific file, so it is not easy to classify and organize e-books. Many large factories in the market have begun to invest in e-book information integration platforms, such as Apple iBook, Amazon, Google Books, etc. Among them, the e-book information integration platform of this type has limited e-book media, such as pictures, videos, audio and video. Computer readable storage media files can also be embedded in e-books in recent days.

Although Books Author is a free app software from the Mac App Store, it can create or view iBooks e-books and any other types of books on the iPad, and through the gallery, videos, interactive charts, 3D objects, mathematical expressions and More features to make the content of these e-books live, but such interactive archives cannot be embedded and browsed. Clinical medical files, such as DICOM files in medical image formats; or some systems can embed such interactive archival objects, but cannot be placed in e-books.

Moreover, general e-books can only read static or dynamic (animated) e-book content and cannot operate these files, so that the current clinical medical staff's practice and learning of clinical medical imaging (DICOM) must be through traditional books (static Pictures) and multimedia animation (dynamic film) to learn about reading and interpreting clinical medical images. The main disadvantage of the above methods is that they cannot manipulate the characteristics of medical images, such as contrast, brightness, measurement, and lead to clinical learning and interpretation. Limited experience.

Therefore, in order to improve the above-mentioned deficiency, the inventors of the present invention have devoted themselves to research and development of a "direct manipulation of medical imaging methods" to effectively improve the disadvantages of the conventional use.

The main purpose of the present invention is to adapt the dynamic image data obtained by the ultrasonic detecting mechanism to the static of the database, and use the editing conversion mechanism to convert into a format that can be read and operated by the electronic reading operation mechanism, so as to be an education of a medical institution. The use of training allows clinicians to perform clinical medical imaging operations directly on the electronic reading operating system to increase the experience of clinical learning and interpretation.

To achieve the above objects, the present invention is a direct manipulation medical imaging method comprising the following steps:

Step 1: Obtain the desired ultrasonic dynamic medical image data by the ultrasonic detecting mechanism.

Step 2: Capture static medical image data from the database.

Step 3: Output dynamic medical image data and static medical image data to an editing conversion mechanism for format conversion.

Step 4: The converted dynamic image data and the static image file are simultaneously transmitted to the electronic reading operation mechanism, thereby being used as an electronic book.

In an embodiment of the invention, the ultrasonic detecting mechanism comprises a detecting unit connected to the output mechanism and an ultrasonic reading unit connected to the detecting unit.

In an embodiment of the invention, the ultrasonic detecting mechanism is connected to an output mechanism, and the output mechanism is further connected to the editing conversion mechanism, and the editing conversion mechanism is connected to the database.

In an embodiment of the invention, the output mechanism is a connector.

In an embodiment of the invention, the editing conversion mechanism includes an image data editor and an image data converter.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the image data editor is capable of editing pictures, movies, DICOM files, and XML files, and the image data converter converts the data edited by the image data editor into an HTML5 format.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the database stores static medical image data in DICOM JPG2000 format.

In an embodiment of the invention, the electronic reading operating mechanism is a tablet computer or a mobile phone.

Please refer to the "1, 2, and 3" diagrams, which are schematic diagrams of the steps of the present invention, a block diagram of the present invention, and a schematic diagram of the state of use of the present invention. As shown in the figure: The present invention is a direct manipulation medical imaging method comprising at least the following steps:

Step 1: 1: Acquire the desired ultrasonic medical image data 12 by the ultrasonic detecting mechanism 11 , and the ultrasonic detecting mechanism 11 includes a detecting unit 111 and an ultrasonic reading unit 112 connected to the detecting unit 111 . The ultrasonic detecting mechanism 11 is connected to an output mechanism 13 which is a connector, and the output mechanism 13 is further connected to the editing conversion mechanism 31, and the editing conversion mechanism 31 is connected to the database 21. connection.

Step 2: The static medical image data 211 is retrieved from the database 21, wherein the database 21 stores the static medical image data 211 in the DICOM JPG2000 format.

Step 3: The dynamic medical image data 12 and the static medical image data 211 are output to the editing conversion mechanism 31 for format conversion, and the editing conversion mechanism 31 includes an image data editor 311 and an image data converter 312. The image data editor 311 is an editable picture, a movie, a DICOM file, and an XML file, and the image data converter 312 converts the data edited by the image data editor 311 into an HTML5 format.
