Abstract:
An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus performs transmission and reception of ultrasonic waves for forming focal points used to set sound velocities at predetermined timing such that sound velocities having been set for all of respective segment regions established by diving a subject are all reset every predetermined number of frames. Owing to this configuration, it becomes possible for the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus to suitably reset sound velocities of ultrasonic waves in the subject and also reduce the amount of calculation for resetting sound velocities.
Abstract:
In an image pickup device and method using a lens unit in which a plurality of lens arrays, are arranged and a lens holding unit is provided between the lens arrays, light emitted from the area corresponding to the lens holding unit can be detected. A moving mechanism that moves a lens unit or the observation target holding unit and the detection unit, and a moving mechanism control unit are provided. The moving mechanism control unit controls the moving mechanism such that the lens unit or the observation target holding unit and the detection unit are moved to a second position from a first position. The second position is set to a position when the lens array after the movement is disposed at a position facing the detection surface of the detection unit shielded by a lens holding unit when the lens unit is disposed at the first position.
Abstract:
Provided are a team medical support device, a method for controlling a team medical support device, and a team medical support system which can smoothly perform information exchange and information sharing in a team medical treatment.A team medical support device reads patient schedule information and a communication message from a patient schedule information storage unit and a communication message storage unit in response to a transmission request from client terminals, creates a medical support screen, and transmits the medical support screen to the client terminals. A patient schedule information display region and a communication message display region in which communication messages related to a patient or event information for the patient are summarized is displayed on the medical support screen.
Abstract:
Ultrasonic transmission and reception for sound speed setting is performed in response to an instruction to freeze, an instruction on an observation target range, an instruction to change image quality and an instruction to change an image mode, a reception signal obtained by the ultrasonic transmission and reception for sound speed setting is used to set the sound speed in a subject, and a reception signal obtained during ultrasonic transmission and reception is processed based on the set sound speed to produce an ultrasound image. Such method makes it possible to produce a high-quality ultrasound image subjected to delay correction appropriate to various operations on an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus, such as freezing and change in image quality.
Abstract:
An imaging device includes an imaging unit which has an imaging element configured to nondestructively read an image signal and performs imaging of a subject using the imaging element, a reading control unit which performs nondestructive reading of the image signal from the imaging element during imaging of the subject, a temporary storage unit which stores the image signal nondestructively read by the reading control unit, an abnormality detection unit which detects the occurrence of an abnormal state during imaging of the subject, and a display control unit which reads and outputs the image signal stored in the storage unit in a case where the abnormal state is detected by the abnormality detection unit.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a imaging device and method capable of quickly informing a user of failure of sample creation and preventing useless imaging from being performed. The imaging device includes an imaging unit which images an object, an exposure time calculation unit which calculates, based on an image signal acquired by imaging of the imaging unit, an exposure time of the imaging until a signal value of the image signal reaches a target signal value set in advance, a determination unit which determines whether or not the exposure time exceeds a threshold value set in advance, and a display control unit which, in a case where it is determined that the exposure time exceeds the threshold value set in advance, gives notification of the result of the determination.
Abstract:
A patient list displayed in a first display screen has an item display section provided along a horizontal axis X (item arrangement axis) and a patient information display section provided along a vertical axis Y (patient identification information arrangement axis). In the item display section, a plurality of items (medical care processes) performed on a patient by medical staffs are arranged. In the patient information display section, pieces of information of a plurality of patients are arranged. Icons are disposed at intersection points of the items in the item display section and the pieces of the patient information in the patient information display section. The icons include a special icon, which contains small icons. The small icons represent progress statuses of medical examinations, respectively.
Abstract:
The radiographic imaging device including: a radiation detector comprising plural radiographic image acquisition pixels, which are arranged in a matrix in an imaging region, for capturing a radiographic image and that acquire image information representing the radiographic image by converting applied radiation into electric charges and storing the electric charges, and a plural radiation detection pixels that detect the applied radiation by converting the applied radiation into electric charges and storing the electric charges, a subset of the plural radiation detection pixels having different characteristics; and a detecting unit that uses the radiation detection pixels selectively according to the different characteristics to detect a state of application of the radiation.
Abstract:
A radiographic image reading device includes a reading unit configured to photoelectrically read photostimulated luminescence light produced from a storage phosphor sheet illuminated with excitation light, the storage phosphor sheet, at which a radiographic image is stored, being scanned by a scanning unit using the excitation light; and a control unit configured to control the reading unit so as to cause the reading unit, in a case of reading at a first resolution, to read with excitation light at a first scanning speed and a first intensity and, in a case of reading at a second resolution that is a higher resolution than the first resolution, to read with excitation light at a second scanning speed that is slower than the first scanning speed and a second intensity that is smaller than the first intensity.
Abstract:
A radiological image-capturing device includes: a first read control section that executes a first read mode in which electric signals stored in a plurality of pixels are read out simultaneously in units of a plurality of rows; and an emission-start determining section that determines that the emission of radiation from a radiation source onto an image-capturing panel has started when the values of the electric signals read by the first read control section have become greater than an arbitrarily settable threshold. If it is determined by the emission-start determining section that the emission of the radiation has started, the first read control section terminates the reading of the electric signals, and thereby brings the image-capturing panel into an exposure state.
