- the image processing apparatus includes compression processing means for obtaining compressed data from image data based on the radiation image data acquired by the radiation image acquisition means, and the encryption processing means is compressed by the compression processing means. Since the encrypted data is obtained from the data based on the obtained data, the time required for the encryption is obtained because the compressed data is encrypted rather than the radiation image data itself is encrypted. Coupled with the reduction in the time required for wireless communication, the image data can be quickly saved on the console. Moreover, it can display on a display part promptly. In addition, the risk that the redundancy that the radiographic image itself has (for example, the missing region of the radiographic image) is used for cryptanalysis is encrypted after this redundancy is suppressed by the compression process. Therefore, even if the data signal that was intercepted and transmitted is leaked, the intercepted person can practically not obtain the radiographic image.
- the redundancy that the radiographic image itself has for example, the missing region of the radiographic image
- the image storage means stores the image data based on the radiation image data obtained by the decompression processing means. Because it is stored, there is a risk that the redundancy of the radiographic image itself (for example, the missing region of the radiographic image) is used for cryptanalysis.
- the time required for encryption is shorter than that for encrypting radiation image data itself, and the time required for wireless communication is also shortened.
- Data based on radiation image data can be saved from the encoded data, so the time required for decompression can be shortened, and image data can be stored quickly on the console. It can be. In addition, it can be promptly displayed on the display unit.
- the difficulty of cryptanalysis increases, and even if a data signal that has been intercepted and transmitted is leaked, the intercepted person cannot substantially obtain a radiation image.
- an encryption processing means for obtaining encrypted data from the image data based on the radiation image data, and a digital data signal based on the data encrypted by the encryption processing means are obtained and transmitted by wireless communication.
- a force set including communication means, console communication means for receiving data signals transmitted from the radiation image transmitting apparatus and obtaining encrypted data, and the encryption processing obtained by the console communication means
- a radiation image receiving apparatus comprising: a decoding processing unit that decodes data based on the received data; and an image storage unit that stores image data based on the radiation image data obtained by the decoding processing unit. Because it is an image communication system, even if the transmitted data signal is intercepted, the intercepted person can obtain a radiation image. It is possible to qualitatively can it! /, As.
- the force set is compressed from image data based on the radiation image data.
- Compression processing means for obtaining the processed data, wherein the encryption processing means obtains encrypted data from data based on the data compressed by the compression processing means, and receives the radiation image
- the apparatus has decompression processing means for obtaining decompressed data from data based on the data obtained by the decoding processing means, and the image storage means is an image based on radiation image data obtained by the decompression processing means. Since data is stored, the time required for encryption is shortened and the time required for wireless communication is shortened because encryption is performed on the compressed data rather than encrypting the radiation image data itself. Coupled with the shortening of the time required for decompression, the image receiving device can quickly store the image data.
- the radiographic image itself (for example, the missing region of the radiographic image) is reduced by the encryption after the redundancy is suppressed by the risk power compression process used in decryption.
- the difficulty of decryption increases, and even if a data signal that is intercepted and transmitted is leaked, the intercepted person can be substantially prevented from obtaining a radiographic image.
- the radiographic image acquired by the radiological image acquiring means is mounted on a computer mounted on a force set having radiographic image acquiring means for obtaining radiographic image data by radiography and a communication means for transmitting data signals by wireless communication.
- An encryption processing function for obtaining encrypted data from image data based on the data, and a data signal obtained from the data based on the data encrypted by the encryption processing function is transmitted to the communication means by wireless communication Therefore, even if the data signal transmitted by this program is intercepted by this program, the person who intercepted should be able to obtain a radiological image substantially. Can do.
- the console communication means that receives the data signal and obtains the encrypted data and the image storage means that stores the image data includes the console communication means obtained by the console communication means.
- a decryption processing function for decrypting data based on the encrypted data an image storage function for causing the image storage unit to store image data based on the radiation image data obtained by the decryption processing unit; Therefore, even if the transmitted data signal is intercepted, this program allows the console to obtain data that has been encrypted so that the person who intercepted cannot obtain a radiological image. Data based on radiation image data can be saved.
- the turn off the data in the storage the time required for the decompression is shortened, it kills in a store quickly image data in the console. Moreover, it can display on a display part in speed and force. In addition, the difficulty of cryptanalysis increases, and even if a data signal that has been intercepted and transmitted is leaked, the intercepted person cannot substantially obtain a radiation image.
