Claim Text:
1. A medical image managing system having an image server for managing a plurality of a medical image, and a client terminal, connected to said image server in a networked arrangement, for causing a monitor to display a density-converted medical image obtained by density conversion of said medical image, said medical image managing system comprising: a communication speed measurer which measures a communication speed between said image server and said client terminal; a processing speed detector which detects a processing speed of said client terminal for said density conversion; a density conversion mode checker which compares processing time of a first density conversion mode and processing time of a second density conversion mode after acquisition according to said communication speed measured by said communication speed measurer, said processing speed of said client terminal detected by said processing speed detector, and a predetermined processing speed of said image server, so as to select one of said density conversion modes with a shorter value of said processing time; an image processor which, upon selecting said first density conversion mode, transmits said density-converted medical image to said client terminal after said density conversion of said medical image in said image server, and, upon selecting said second density conversion mode, transmits said medical image to said client terminal to perform said density conversion of said medical image in said client terminal.
