    摘要: An apparatus for a precise analysis of a severity of arthritis includes an image collection unit configured to collect a medical image having captured a joint of a user, a region detection unit configured to detect one or more regions of interest for analyzing arthritis in the medical image through a learned automatic region detection model, an individual analysis unit configured to extract quantitative feature values from the detected regions of interest and derives one or more individual analysis data from among a severity of arthritis, a severity of osteoproliferation, and a severity of hardness of a subchondral bone based on the feature values, and an integrated analysis unit configured to finely classify a severity of degenerative arthritis through an integrated analysis model learned based on the individual analysis data.

    摘要: A patient positioning system includes a vertical link member and a carriage sub-system pivotably mounted thereto. The carriage sub-system includes a carriage having a first end and a second end, a first guide movably coupled to the carriage and having a first end and a second end, a first connecting shaft pivotably coupled to the first ends of the first guide and the second guide, and a second connecting shaft pivotably coupled to the second ends of the first guide and the second guide. The system further includes a patient bed mounted to the carriage sub-system and a motor drive system including a motor drive, a belt configured to be driven by the motor drive, a rotation brake system configured to selectively engage with or disengage from the carriage, and a slab brake system configured to selectively engage with or disengage from the first and second connecting shafts.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a device (1) for providing image data during an extraction procedure for extracting a lead from the body of a subject using an extraction device (7). The device comprises an input (2) for receiving live x-ray projection image data of the lead during the extraction procedure and for receiving three-dimensional image data as acquired before the extraction procedure. A processing unit (3) determines a position of the extraction device (7) in the three-dimensional image data by detecting the position in the live projection image data during the procedure and correlates this position in the live projection image data with the position in the three-dimensional image data. An output (4) generates an image of a cross-sectional view of the lead and/or its surrounding body structure at the determined position based on the three-dimensional image data.

    摘要: Based on counts detected by a photon counting detector, a characteristic of X-ray attenuation amounts μt is acquired for each X-ray energy bin. This characteristic is defined by a plurality of mutually different known thicknesses t and linear attenuation coefficients in the X-ray transmission direction. This substance is composed of a material which is included in an object and which is the same in type as the object or which can be regarded as being similar to the object in terms of the effective atomic number. Correcting data for replacing the characteristic of the X-ray attenuation amounts μt by a linear target characteristic are calculated. The linear target characteristic is set to pass through the origin of a two-dimensional coordinate having a lateral axis assigned to thicknesses t and a longitudinal axis assigned to the X-ray attenuation amounts μt. The correcting data are calculated for each X-ray energy bin.
