System) selects a first subject and a second subject, and generates link data connecting the first medical data generated in the first subject and the second medical data generated in the second subject. Here, the first subject and the second subject may be selected based on the operation type determined based on the order.

Meanwhile, the first subject and the second subject selected by the medical data generating apparatus 10 may include the electronic medical record system 20, the medical imaging apparatus 30, the medical image storage transmission system 40, the radiation information system, and the like. It is not limited to clinical information systems. In other words, the system 1 may include apparatuses other than the above-described systems and apparatuses, and the medical data generating apparatus 10 may select the first subject and the second subject among the apparatuses included in the system 1. You can choose.

As an example, the medical data generating apparatus 10 may include a transmitting device (ie, an electronic medical record system 20, a medical imaging apparatus 30, a medical image storage transmission system 40, a radiation information system, or a clinical information system). Second medical data generated by the first medical data generated and the receiving device (that is, the electronic medical record system 20, the medical imaging apparatus 30, or the medical image storage transmission system 40, the radiation information system, or the clinical information system). You can create link data that connects data. For example, assuming that the electronic medical recording system 20 transmits an order instructing the medical imaging apparatus 30 to take a medical image, the medical data generating apparatus 10 is generated by the electronic medical recording system 20. Link data connecting the first medical data to the second medical data generated by the medical imaging apparatus 30 is generated. Therefore, the order of the electronic medical record system 20 may have an effect of being transmitted to the medical imaging apparatus 30.

The electronic medical record system 20 refers to a system capable of computerizing, inputting, managing, and storing information related to patient care (ie, medical records). In this case, the medical record means all information related to the patient, such as a patient's personal information, medical history, medical condition, medical records, hospitalization or discharge records.

One document may be included in zero or more document sets (hereinafter, DocSets). In other words, a document may not be included in a document set or may be included in one or more document sets. In addition, certain documents must belong to one group. Here, the group may mean a group in a physical organization such as a hospital, a department, or a department, or may mean a virtual set of users. Details of the group will be described later. In the medical data generating device 10, an ID for identifying each document is assigned. Types and definitions of IDs associated with documents according to an embodiment of the present invention are shown in Table 1 below.

ID Type Justice Document UID Unique ID of the document, unique within the specific group that created the document. Document UUID A unique ID, separate from the Document UID, that is unique within the entire document. For example, there is one Document UID of the first document, but the Document UUID may be changed every time the first document is transmitted (or processed). Filter UID ID representing the filter that created the document. Patient Id ID representing the patient associated with the document.

Each document in the medical data generating device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention has a unique ID (UID), which ensures that the UID is unique only within a specific group. In addition, each and every document has a unique UUID separate from the UID, which ensures that it is unique within the entire document. A document according to an embodiment of the present invention corresponds to a document entry in the IHE XDS concept.

A DocSet is a virtual set of actual documents. All processing in the medical data generating device 10 is performed in a document set unit. In addition, a particular document set must belong to one group. In the medical data generating device 10, an ID for identifying each document set is assigned. Types and definitions of IDs associated with a document set according to an embodiment of the present invention are shown in Table 2 below.

ID Type Justice DocSet UID Unique ID of a document set, unique within the specific group that created the document set. DocSet UUID Unique ID, separate from the DocSet UID, that is unique within the entire document set. For example, the DocSet UID of the first document set is one, but the DocSet UUID may be different each time the first document set is transmitted (or processed). DocSet Class UID A type of document set that is used to specify the filter's input and output format. DocSet Group UID Used to express associations between document sets. Filter UID Represents the filter that created the document set. Patient Id Represents a patient associated with a set of documents.

The document set in the medical data generating apparatus 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention corresponds to a submission set in the IHE XDS concept.

In addition, a document set necessarily has one DocSet Class. Here, the document set class means a class of document set. The document set class is used to specify an input / output format of a filter and is represented by a DocSet Class UID unique within the medical data generating apparatus 10.

2 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a method of generating medical data, according to an exemplary embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 2, the method of generating medical data includes steps that are processed in time series in the medical data generating apparatus 10 illustrated in FIG. 1. Therefore, even if omitted below, it can be seen that the contents described above with reference to FIG. 1 also apply to the method of generating medical data of FIG. 2.

In operation 210, the determiner 110 determines an operation type based on an order for generating at least one medical image. Here, the order includes a command for generating, by the user, at least one medical image representing the region of interest in the subject (ie, the patient). In this case, the ROI refers to a tissue or organ in a subject (ie, a patient) to be diagnosed by the user through a medical image.

Meanwhile, hereinafter, 'testing' refers to a collection of a plurality of medical images representing a region of interest in a subject. For example, the test may mean a collection of a plurality of medical images of a patient's chest. Therefore, hereinafter, 'running an inspection' means generating a plurality of medical images representing a region of interest in a subject.

In addition, hereinafter, 'series' refers to a detailed set of classifying a plurality of medical images included in a test according to a predetermined criterion. For example, assuming that a test means a set of a plurality of medical images of a patient's chest, the series may mean a set of images of a patient's chest taken from the front. In addition, hereinafter, 'image' refers to each of a plurality of medical images included in a test or series. Therefore, hereinafter, the test, the series, and the image have a relationship of inclusion of the 'test⊃series⊃image'.

The determination unit 110 may determine the operation type based on the presence or absence of the order and the number of orders. For example, the determination unit 110 may include a first operation type for executing a single inspection in response to a single order, a second operation type for executing a single inspection without the order, and a plurality of operations for executing a plurality of inspections in response to a single order. One of the third operation type and the fourth operation type for executing a single check in response to the plurality of orders can be determined.

For example, in response to an order for generating a medical image representing a chest of a subject, performing a test representing the chest of the subject once is the first operation type, and performing a test representing the chest of the subject multiple times. Doing is the third type of operation. In addition, a single operation of performing a test that simultaneously shows the chest and the abdomen of the subject in response to an order for generating a medical image representing the chest of the subject and an order for generating a medical image representing the stomach of the subject is a fourth operation type. to be.

For example, according to the Intergrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) medical information standard, the first operation type is a simple type, the second operation type is an unscheduled case, and the third operation type is an additional type. (Append Case), the fourth operation type may correspond to a group type.

The selecting unit 120 selects the first subject and the second subject based on the determined operation type. Here, the first subject refers to an apparatus for transmitting medical data among the electronic medical record system 20, the medical imaging apparatus 30, and the medical image storage transmission system 40 included in the system 1. In addition, the second subject refers to an apparatus for receiving medical data among the electronic medical record system 20, the medical imaging apparatus 30, and the medical image storage transmission system 40 included in the system 1.

Here, transmitting the medical data means connecting the first medical data and the second medical data so that the information contained in the first medical data generated by the first subject may be included in the second medical data generated by the second subject. It includes. Since the first subject and the second subject are different devices, the first medical data may not be executed by the second apparatus. Therefore, the medical data generating apparatus 10 generates link data connecting the first medical data generated by the first subject and the second medical data generated by the second subject, thereby making the first medical data also the second medical data. Information included in the data may be included. Thus, the effect of transmitting predetermined information from the first subject to the second subject may occur.

The generation unit 130 generates link data connecting the first medical data generated by the first subject and the second medical data generated by the second subject. At this time, the generation unit 130 generates the link data according to the operation type determined by the determination unit 110. The generation of the link data according to an embodiment of the present invention may include existing medical data and new medical data (that is, the electronic medical record system 20, the medical imaging apparatus 30, the medical image storage transmission system 40, and radiation). And generating link data linking the medical data newly generated by any one of the information system and the clinical information system. For example, the generation unit 130 may perform a task of generating link data to link existing medical data to a document and / or a document set according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The link data refers to data for connecting the first medical data and the second medical data according to a communication protocol. Here, the communication protocol means a communication protocol based on medical information standards such as IHE, DICOM, HL7 and international standards such as W3C, ISO.

Referring to FIG. 3, the medical data 310 includes data 311 corresponding to an image, data 312 corresponding to a series, and data 313 corresponding to an examination. The medical data generating apparatus 10 assigns a unique UID to each of the data 311, 312, and 313.

For example, the medical data 311 may be a DcmInstance table or an object created using the information of the DICOM instance. In this case, a unique key of the medical data 311 may be a SOP Instance UID or a composite key based thereon. In addition, the medical data 312 may be a DcmSeries table or object created using information of the DICOM series. At this time, a unique key of the medical data 312 may be a series instance UID or a composite key based thereon. In addition, the medical data 313 may be a DcmStudy table or an object created using the information of the DICOM study. In this case, as a unique key of the medical data 313, a Study Instance UID or a composite key based thereon may be used.

The medical data generating apparatus 10 generates link data connecting the medical data generated by the electronic medical record system 20, the medical imaging apparatus 30, and the medical image storage transmission system 40 to each other. In addition, the medical data generating apparatus 10 may connect the medical data generated by the radiation information system and the clinical information system, as well as the electronic medical record system 20, the medical imaging apparatus 30, and the medical image storage transmission system 40. Link data can be generated as described above with reference to FIG.

For example, the medical data 320 of FIG. 3 may include medical data 321 generated by the electronic medical record system 20 and medical data 323 generated by the medical imaging apparatus 30.

For example, the electronic medical recording system 20 may instruct the medical imaging apparatus 30 to perform an examination. In other words, the electronic medical recording system 20 may generate medical data 321 for transmitting at least one order to the medical imaging apparatus 30. Hereinafter, the electronic medical record system 20 transmits an order to the medical imaging apparatus 30 as a 'Modality Worklist (MWL)'. MWL has the same meaning as described in the IHE Medical Information Standard.

The medical data generating apparatus 10 assigns a unique document class DC and a document UID DU to each of the medical data 321 and 323. In addition, the medical data generating apparatus 10 may assign a unique document set class (DSC) and a document set UID (DSU) to the medical data 322 corresponding to the document set including the medical data 321 and 323. do.

For example, the medical data 321 may be a Document table or an object generated using DICOM MWL information or HL7 ORM / OMI information. In this case, the unique key of the medical data 321 may be a unique value generated based on the Study Instance UID. In addition, the medical data 322 may be a DocSet table or object created using the information of the DICOM study. In this case, a unique key of the medical data 322 may be a Study Instance UID or a composite key based thereon. In addition, the medical data 323 may be a Document table or an object created using the information of the DICOM instance. In this case, a unique key of the medical data 323 may be a SOP Instance UID or a composite key based thereon.

As another example, the medical data 331 included in the medical data 330 of FIG. 3 may be transmitted by the medical imaging apparatus 30 to the electronic medical record system 20 and / or the medical image storage transmission system 40. It may be medical data including the information. For example, the medical imaging apparatus 30 may perform a report related to the execution of the test to the electronic medical record system 20 and / or the medical image storage transmission system 40. In other words, the medical imaging apparatus 30 may report to the electronic medical record system 20 and / or the medical image storage transmission system 40 that at least one medical image is captured. In addition, the medical imaging apparatus 30 may request the medical image storage transmission system 40 to store at least one captured medical image. Hereinafter, the medical imaging apparatus 30 reports the medical image recording to the electronic medical recording system 20 and / or the medical image storage transmission system 40 as 'modality performed procedure step (MPPS)'. In addition, it is described as 'Storage' that the medical imaging apparatus 30 requests the medical image storage transmission system 40 to store at least one captured medical image. MPPS and Storage are as defined in the IHE Medical Information Standard.

The medical data generating device 10 assigns a unique document class DC and a document UID DU to the medical data 331. The medical data generating apparatus 10 also assigns a unique document set class (DSC) and a document set UID (DSU) to the medical data 332 corresponding to the document set including the medical data 331.

For example, the medical data 331 may be a Document table or an object created using DICOM MPPS information. In this case, as a unique key of the medical data 331, an MPPS Instance UID or a composite key based thereon may be used. In addition, the medical data 332 may be a DocSet table or an object created using DICOM MPPS information. In this case, the unique key of the medical data 332 may be an MPPS Instance UID or a composite key based thereon.

In addition, the medical data generating apparatus 10 may generate link data 341 and 342 for linking the medical data 310, 320, and 330 with each other. In other words, the medical data generating apparatus 10 may generate link data 341 and 342 which connect the medical data 310, 320, 330 to each other according to a predetermined rule. For example, the link data 341 and 342 may be a table or an object that stores link information.

Since the medical data 310, 320, and 330 are data generated by different devices or systems, they may not be executed by other devices or systems. For example, the medical data 321 itself may not be executed by the medical imaging apparatus 30. Therefore, the medical data 321 may not accurately transmit the information (eg, an order) that the electronic medical record system 20 intends to deliver to the medical imaging apparatus 30. The medical image generating apparatus 10 generates link data 341 and 342 connecting the medical data 310, 320, and 330 to each other based on the operation type, so that the medical data 310, 320, and 330 are mutually connected. Compatible between Thus, the information (eg, order) that the first subject wants to deliver can be correctly delivered to the second subject.
