Abstract: An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus according to an embodiment includes an abdominal image generator, an ultrasonic image generation unit, a specifier, and a display controller. The abdominal image generator generates an abdominal image graphically representing the abdomen of a mother. The ultrasonic image generation unit generates an ultrasonic image based on a reflected wave signal received by an ultrasonic probe put on the abdomen of the mother. The specifier specifies the position of the ultrasonic probe on the abdominal image. The display controller causes superimposed display of the ultrasonic image on the position on the abdominal image thus specified in accordance with the echo direction of the ultrasonic probe.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a medical image processing apparatus is configured to capture images of an observation object over time to obtain a three-dimensional image. The observation object includes a first hard tissue and a second hard tissue which are adjacent to each other. The medical image processing apparatus includes a control circuit, a plane acquisition unit, and an image generator. Under the control of the control circuit, the plane acquisition unit extracts the first hard tissue and the second hard tissue based on the three-dimensional image. The image generator generates, as an image for observation, a cross-sectional image of a plane including the first hard tissue and at least part of the second hard tissue or an image projected on a plane parallel to the plane including the first hard tissue and at least part of the second hard tissue based on the three-dimensional image.

Abstract: A medical imaging apparatus according to a present embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry obtains pieces of medical image data, the pieces each being generated in each of multiple time phases and each including bone information. The processing circuitry sets first regions each being included in each of the pieces. The processing circuitry generates pieces of corrected medical image data by aligning the pieces of medical image data so that the first regions are substantially a same position. The processing circuitry specifies second regions each corresponding to a bone moving in the pieces of the corrected medical image data. The processing circuitry displays the second regions so as to be recognized on a display.

Abstract: A medical image processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry obtains a plurality of medical image groups in which respective motions of a part inside a subject have been photographed in time series and executes certain processing on the acquired medical image groups. The processing circuitry analyzes the motions in the respective medical image groups. The processing circuitry generates a medical image in which the motions in the respective medical image groups substantially match with each other based on the analyzed motions.

Abstract: A medical image processing apparatus according to the present invention includes a moving direction identification unit configured to identify a moving direction of an observed region of a subject depicted in a plurality of volume data collected by a medical diagnostic apparatus, each volume data of the plurality of volume data being collected for each time phase; and a display direction setting unit configured to set a display direction of the plurality of volume data based on the identified moving direction.

Abstract: A medical image control system includes a medical image diagnostic apparatus and a mobile terminal. The medical image diagnostic apparatus includes a collecting unit, a distributing unit, and a reflecting unit. The collecting unit captures a subject based on predetermined image capturing conditions to collect time-series image data. The distributing unit distributes the time-series image data to the mobile terminal at least when the collecting unit collects the time-series image data. The reflecting unit receives control information and reflects the received control information to a process. The mobile terminal includes a replaying unit and a control information transmitting unit. The replaying unit receives the time-series image data distributed and replay the received time-series image data.
