A system to create and review reports enables interactive manipulation of
the displaying of two-dimensional and three-dimensional images associated
with image diagnosis reports, at user terminals connected to a medium- or
low-speed network. High-speed image processing devices are set up near
the network of a PACS server which archives and transmits medical image
data, and parameter sets are attached which serve to recreate reference
images in diagnosis reports. When users at a requesting department review
the reports at user terminals, parameter sets are added to the reports
and transmitted to image processing devices. The image processing devices
obtain image data from the PACS server based on these parameter sets.
Image processing is performed, and the image data is then sent to user
terminals.
