Patent number: 11937959Abstract: A marker-coordinate detecting unit detects coordinates of a stent marker on a new image when the new image is stored in an image-data storage unit; and then a correction-image creating unit creates a correction image from the new image through, for example, image transformation processing, so as to match up the detected coordinates with reference coordinates that are coordinates of the stent marker already detected by the marker-coordinate detecting unit in a first frame. An image post-processing unit then creates an image for display by performing post-processing on the correction image created by the correction-image creating unit, the post-processing including high-frequency noise reduction filtering-processing, low-frequency component removal filtering-processing, and logarithmic-image creating processing; and then a system control unit performs control of displaying a moving image of an enlarged image of a set region that is set in the image for display, together with an original image.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: CANON MEDICAL SYSTEMS CORPORATIONInventors: Takuya Sakaguchi, Kyojiro Nambu, Hisato Takemoto

Patent number: 9613289Abstract: According to an embodiment, in an X-ray diagnosis apparatus, a detector detects a position of a feature point in the sequentially generated X-ray images. A corrector performs a correction process such that an angle of a line segment including the feature point and a single point based on the feature point detected in any one of the sequentially generated X-ray images substantially agree with an angle based on the feature point and a single point based on the feature point detected in a new X-ray image generated after the X-ray image, thereby sequentially generating corrected images in which a position different from the feature point in the images is substantially the same. Every time each of the corrected images is newly generated by the corrector, a controller sequentially generates the corrected images, thereby displaying a moving image on a display unit.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2014Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: Toshiba Medical Systems CorporationInventors: Takuya Sakaguchi, Kunio Shiraishi, Kyojiro Nambu

Patent number: 9189848Abstract: According to one embodiment, a medical image processing apparatus includes an X-ray image obtaining unit, a marker detection unit, a contrast image generation unit and a display image generation unit. The X-ray image obtaining unit obtains X-ray contrast image data and X-ray fluoroscopic image data. The marker detection unit detects positions of a marker from the X-ray contrast image data, or the X-ray contrast image data and the X-ray fluoroscopic image data. The marker is attached to a device. The contrast image generation unit generates X-ray contrast image data for a combination with a movement correction making the positions of the marker be positions which can be regarded as a same position. The display image generation unit generates X-ray image data for a display by combining the X-ray contrast image data for the combination with the X-ray fluoroscopic image data.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2013Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignees: Kabushiki Kaisha Toshiba, Toshiba Medical Systems CorporationInventors: Takuya Sakaguchi, Kyojiro Nambu, Shingo Abe, Kunio Shiraishi

Patent number: RE48583Abstract: When a plurality of X-ray images in a time sequence is stored in an image data storing unit (25), a marker coordinate detecting unit (26a) detects coordinates of a stent marker in each X-ray image, and a motion vector calculating unit (26b) calculates, with coordinates of the stent marker detected in a first frame as reference coordinates, a motion vector of the coordinates of the stent marker detected in each X-ray image of a second and subsequent frames with respect to the reference coordinates. Then, a filter application range determining unit (26c) moves and determines an application range of a smoothing filter in each X-ray image based on the motion vector, and the filtered image generating unit (26d) generates a filtered image by performing a process by the smoothing filter between application ranges determined in a process target image and a reference image.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2015Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: CANON MEDICAL SYSTEMS CORPORATIONInventors: Takuya Sakaguchi, Kunio Shiraishi, Masayuki Nishiki, Kyojiro Nambu
