An endoscopic examination system consists mainly of an examination
terminal, a report input/output terminal, and a server. The examination
terminal is connected to endoscopic examination equipment. The report
input/output terminal is used to enter environmental information
concerning the details of an environment under which an endoscopic
examination is performed (an examining doctor's name, a name of equipment
employed, etc.), and reporting information concerning the results of an
endoscopic examination (findings, diagnosis, etc.). The examination data
(endoscopic image data, etc.) sent from the examination terminal, and the
reporting information and examination request sent from the report
input/output terminal server are preserved in the server.
