摘要:
An image display apparatus and method which facilitate comparison of two or more images of an identical object. In one embodiment, three images to be compared are displayed at matched positions on an image display after going through the position-matching process conducted by the position matching means, in which the vertical positions of a structural feature area (or a anatomical feature area) of the object are aligned horizontally.

A method and apparatus for accurately detecting the anomalous shadows occurring within an interimage image based on two or more images obtained of the same subject, wherein the artifacts occurring in the interimage image are reduced, is provided. A temporal subtraction image formed by an interimage processing means is subjected to a morphology process wherein the artifacts occurring in the interimage image are suppressed relative to the actual difference between the two images on which the temporal subtraction image is based. A detecting means detects the suspected anomalous shadows occurring within the temporal subtraction image that has been subjected to an artifact-suppressing morphology process.

When position matching is performed on two images in which the soft tissue structures and the bone tissue structures are displaced in different directions, artifacts appearing in the subtraction image are reduced, and it becomes possible to perform the position matching according to the diagnostic objective or the preferences of the operator. A global position matching means that globally matches the positions of the entirety of two inputted images that have been obtained of the same subject, and a local position matching means that locally matches the positions of the two images that have been globally matched by the global position matching means are provided. The global position matching means has a function for performing a bone tissue structure global position matching process and a function for performing a non-bone tissue structure global position matching process. One of these two functions is selected and the global position matching is performed.
摘要:
Whether medical image data is provided with photographing information representing the object part and/or the direction of taking the image is judged, and the object part and/or the direction of taking the image of the medical image data is recognized on the basis of the medical image data when the image data is not provided with photographing information. The medical image data is attached with the result of the recognition as the photographing information.
摘要:
Multiple pieces of diagnostic information, which are necessary for disease diagnoses, and at least one piece of disease information, which represents a disease to be diagnosed in accordance with the diagnostic information, are stored. Link information is stored for each piece of disease information. The link information links the multiple pieces of the diagnostic information together in accordance with relationships among the pieces of the diagnostic information to be utilized at the time of a diagnosis of each disease and/or links the diagnostic information and the disease information together in accordance with relationships between the diagnostic information and the disease information. A probability of occurrence of a disease in accordance with the link information is stored previously. The probability of occurrence of each disease associated with inputted diagnostic information is acquired in accordance with the link information.
摘要:
An image-component rendering method includes a step of generating discontinuity information of an original image representing discontinuity of color information expressed by a line process, on the basis of the color information of the original image; a step of extracting a contour of an object image included in the original image on the basis of the generated discontinuity information, and separating the object image by using the extracted contour; and a step of determining outline information in which the contour of the object image is outlined on the basis of the discontinuity information with respect to the separated object image, and encoding color information of the object image. Accordingly, an object image can be formed into a component by describing the object image by the contour of the outlined object image and by the color information of the object image.
摘要:
This system is applied to a VAS having, as members, apparel makers which manage goods using apparel numbers and retail shops which manage goods using shop goods codes. The system tally manages the goods of all the members using unity codes. The apparel numbers are corrected as needed, and the corrected apparel numbers are incorporated in a unity code system. A code conversion table representing a correspondence between the unity code and the apparel number or the shop goods code is prepared. When this code conversion table is looked up, a management code is converted between the apparel number, the shop goods code, and the unity code, all of which represent the same goods.
摘要:
Case images are registered so as not to cause bias (or partiality or imbalance) in amounts of feature of the case images included in a database of a similar image search system for image diagnosis. Since registration of the case images to the database is controlled according to degrees of similarity of the amounts of feature, it is possible to prevent a lot of similar case images from being included in the search result. Thus, it is possible to reduce possibility of representing a similar search result which may interfere with an accurate diagnosis by a diagnostician.
摘要:
A case image search apparatus according to the presently disclosed subject matter includes: an input unit for inputting a diagnostic object image group from an imaging apparatus; an estimation unit for estimating attributes of a diagnostic object image included in the diagnostic object image group on the basis of the diagnostic object image; a calculation unit for calculating a first feature amount which is a feature amount of the diagnostic object image corresponding to the attribute estimated by the estimation unit; and a search unit for searching a database for a similar case image group similar to the diagnostic object image group by comparing the first feature amount with a second feature amount which is a feature amount of a case image included in the case image group stored in the database corresponding to the attribute estimated by the estimation unit.
