PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To output, easily and with a stable image, a medical image acquired by a specific examination apparatus, in a network system connected with a various kinds of examination apparatuses and output devices, regardless of the output devices.SOLUTION: An external output image generation part is included in addition to a composition of a conventional examination apparatus. In the external output image generation part, an image acquired by the examination apparatus is subjected to image processing and adjustment and then is output, for every output destination, to acquire image quality equivalent to image quality acquired by an examination apparatus of the acquisition source. Conversion data used for the image processing for every output destination are held in an examination apparatus side.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】多種の検査装置および多種の出力装置を接続したネットワークシステム内で、特定の検査装置で取得した医用画像を、出力装置を問わず、容易に安定した画質で出力可能とする。【解決手段】従来の検査装置の構成に加え、外部出力画像生成部を備える。外部出力画像生成部において、当該検査装置で取得した画像を、出力先毎に、取得元の検査装置で得た画質と同等の画質を得られるよう画像処理を施して調整してから出力する。出力先毎の画像処理に用いる変換データは、検査装置側に保持する。【選択図】図3
