Abstract:
A storage unit stores at least one first analysis result generated by performing at least one first analysis process on an image of a subject and recovery information enabling recovery of a first analysis state where the first analysis result is generated or link information to the recovery information in a database in association with subject information specifying the subject. An analysis unit generates, in a case where at least one second analysis process generating at least one second analysis result different from the first analysis result is performed, the second analysis result by performing the second analysis process using the recovery information. The storage unit stores the second analysis result in the database in association with the subject information.
Abstract:
A projection image of a three dimensional image is generated and displayed and a three dimensional target point corresponding to a designated two-dimensional target point is set to the three dimensional image. A reference cross-section is set to the three dimensional image by using the three dimensional target point. A cross-sectional two-dimensional image of the reference cross-section in which an object close to a point of view that faces the reference cross-section is not displayed is generated. An instruction to change the position of the point of view, using the three dimensional target point based on the cross-sectional two-dimensional image as a reference point, in order to align an observation direction of a structure to which the three dimensional target point is set with a target three dimensional direction is received. A new reference cross-section is set. A new cross-sectional two-dimensional image of the new reference cross-section is generated.
Abstract:
A projection image is generated from a three-dimensional image by projecting an observation target in a predetermined projection direction. The generated projection image is displayed at a center of a display screen of a display device. A region extending in the predetermined projection direction from a central part of the display screen is set as set region, and at least a part of an overlapped region between the set region, which has been set, and the observation target is determined, as rotation center candidate region. Center of rotation is determined in the determined rotation center candidate region or in the vicinity thereof.
Abstract:
A virtual stent placement apparatus, a virtual stent placement method, and a virtual stent placement program for preventing a stent from blocking a branch of a blood vessel in a case in which the stent is virtually placed in the blood vessel extracted from a medical image are disclosed.
Abstract:
A morphology image representing the morphology of a specific organ including a tubular structure in the inside thereof and a function image representing a function level at each position in the organ are obtained. A structure region representing a structure dominating the organ is extracted from the morphology image. A specific partial region in the extracted structure region and a dominated region in the organ are determined, and the dominated region being dominated by a structure in the partial region. In that case, at least one of the partial region determination step and the dominated region determination step is performed by using the function image.
Abstract:
The image display control device includes an image extracting unit that extracts an image of an observing target tissue from a three-dimensional image, a distance storage unit that stores a distance from a front surface of the observing target tissue to be used for generating a superimposition image, a surface form obtaining unit that obtains a surface form of the observing target tissue in a real space, a position matching unit that performs position matching such that a positional matching relationship between the surface form in the real space and the image of the observing target tissue is established, a superimposition image generating unit that generates the superimposition image based on the image of the observing target tissue on which the position matching is performed and the distances, and a display controller that displays the superimposition image such that the superimposition image is superimposed on the observing target tissue.
Abstract:
There are provided: a region extraction unit that extracts a plurality of regions from a three-dimensional image of a subject; an internal tissue information acquisition unit that sets, as a crossing region, a region that a light beam used when projecting the three-dimensional image onto the two-dimensional projection plane crosses first among the plurality of regions, sets, as a first intersection, a point on a region crossing the light beam first when the crossing region is excluded, sets, as a second intersection, a point crossing the crossing region when there is an extension in an opposite direction to a traveling direction of the light beam from the first intersection, and acquires information of an internal tissue included between the first and second intersections; and a display control unit that displays the internal tissue information so as to be superimposed on the three-dimensional image.
Abstract:
A structure extracting unit extracts a structure from a three-dimensional medical image, and a view point determining unit determines a view point position and a direction of line of sight of a virtual endoscopic image. An image generating unit calculates a distance between a view point position and the extracted structure, determines a display attribute of the extracted structure based on the distance and a plurality of different display attributes that correspond to different distances from the view point position and are defined for each of the structures, and generates, from the three-dimensional medical image, a virtual endoscopic image containing the structure having the determined display attribute. A display control unit displays the thus generated virtual endoscopic image on a WS display.
Abstract:
A path extraction unit extracts a path of a tubular structure from a three-dimensional image containing the tubular structure, and an interrupted path detection unit detects an interrupted path in the extracted path. A search path generation unit generates a search path that connects the interrupted path, and a search unit searches for the shortest path between a start point and an end point on the extracted path based on the extracted path and the search path.
Abstract:
A core-line extraction unit extracts a core line of the blood vessel from a three-dimensional image of a subject including the blood vessel. A local-route extraction unit extracts a local route of the core line within a predetermined range based on a reference point on the core line. In a case where a plurality of points on the local route are projected, a plane setting unit sets a plane having an orientation in which a distribution of a plurality of the projected points has a reference value based on a maximum value of the distribution, as a display plane of the three-dimensional image.
