  • Patent number: 11793477
    Abstract: A medical information processing apparatus of an embodiment includes an image acquiring unit, an event acquiring unit, a managing unit, and an output unit. The image acquiring unit sequentially acquires medical images during a treatment procedure for a subject. The event acquiring unit sequentially acquires events in the treatment procedure on the basis of the medical images during the treatment procedure. The managing unit manages the medical images and the events, in association with temporal information on the treatment procedure. The output unit outputs the medical images such that relations between the medical images and the events are able to be known.

  • Patent number: 10687771
    Abstract: An X-ray diagnostic apparatus according to one embodiment comprises an X-ray tube, an X-ray detector, a holding mechanism, position specifying circuitry and control circuitry. The X-ray detector detects the X-ray which has been generated by the X-ray tube and has passed through an object placed on a top of a bed movable in an examination room. The holding mechanism holds the X-ray tube and the X-ray detector, and movable in the examination room. The position specifying circuitry specifies a position of the holding mechanism in the examination room and a position of the bed in the examination room. The control circuitry controls the holding mechanism in order to change a position and angle of the holding mechanism based on the position of the holding mechanism and the position of the bed.

  • Patent number: 10285660
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an X-ray diagnostic apparatus includes a support frame, an input button, and processing circuitry. The support frame supports an X-ray detector which detects X-rays. The input button provides on at least one of an exterior of the support frame and an exterior of the X-ray detector and inputs an instruction to implement an assigned moving operation pattern of a plurality of moving operation patterns concerning movement of at least one of the support frame, the X-ray detector, and a table top. The processing circuitry assigns the input button with an instruction to implement a moving operation pattern, of the plurality of moving operation patterns, which is selected by an operator.
