Medical imaging apparatus, information processing method, and computer-readable storage medium

Abstract

A medical imaging apparatus includes a transmission suspension time determination unit that determines a transmission suspension time from when an inspection is ended to when inspection end information generated by an inspection end information generation unit is transmitted to a hospital information system based on inspection information; an inspection end information transmission unit transmits the generated inspection end information to the hospital information system after the transmission suspension time has passed after the inspection is ended; and an additional imaging-operation instruction determination unit determines whether an additional imaging-operation instruction is issued from an operator before the transmission suspension time passes. If it is determined that the additional imaging-operation instruction is issued, inspection end information including a content of the imaging operation additionally executed according to the additional imaging operation instruction is executed, and the inspection end information including the content of the additional imaging-operation is transmitted.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A medical imaging control apparatus capable of communicating with a hospital information system, the medical imaging control apparatus comprising:
 an image data acquisition unit configured to acquire image data generated in an imaging operation;   a determination unit configured to determine that the imaging operation is ended; and   a transmission unit configured to transmit, after it is determined that the imaging operation is ended, inspection end information, indicating that the imaging operation according to the inspection request is ended, to the hospital information system in response to a predetermined event different from an event that the determination unit determines that the imaging operation is ended.
