Claim:
1. A medical data generating apparatus comprising: a data processor and memory circuits configured to acquire diagnostic medical pixel data from a medical information database and perform data processing thereon in accordance with work status data, said medical information database storing diagnostic medical data records that have a hierarchical structure including attributes of the medical pixel data identifying (A) a patient, (B) a study, (C) a series and (D) diagnostic medical image pixel data; generate work-status data formatted to also have said hierarchical structure and also stored in said medical information database as medical data which is identified as belonging to the same patient and study as respectively corresponding medical pixel data but for a different series that is indicative of work status data, the work-status data indicating a data processing work status of the respectively corresponding medical image pixel data including information organized in said hierarchical structure specifying (a) a patient, (b) a study, (c) series identification information of the work-status data and (d) work-status pixel data that is not only diagnostic medical image pixel data but which includes work-status pixel data that is displayed as an iconic image including predetermined features indicative of a respectively associated type of work-status data; acquire diagnostic medical data and its respectively corresponding associated work-status data from the database and display a list of the acquired medical data including its work status data together on a display device including the (c) series identification information of the acquired work-status data; restore data processing work status for the acquired diagnostic medical data corresponding to a selected work-status from the displayed work status data in the list; and determine whether medical data selected from the listed medical data is work-status data or diagnostic medical data based on identification information included in the selected medical data.
