  • Publication number: 20190320991
    Abstract: A controller generates, based on a position of a marker in an X-ray image, an intermediate image in which a device inserted into a subject's body is displayed. After the generation of the intermediate image, the controller matches the marker of the X-ray image with a marker of the intermediate image based on the position of the marker in the X-ray image and a position of a marker in the intermediate image to align the X-ray image and the intermediate image with each other every time the X-ray image is newly generated. The controller then controls the display to display an overlaid image generated by overlaying the X-ray image and the intermediate image aligned with each other.

  • Patent number: 10349907
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a radiographic imaging device that improves visibility by preventing a phenomenon in which a stent image is inverted in an enlarged displayed video of a stent image that appears in a live image. Specifically, the present disclosure is provided with a trimming unit that performs editing such that, from among two stent markers indicating the position of a stent image that appears in a superimposed frame generated by superimposing source frames that serve as the source of a live image, a specific stent marker is constantly oriented in the same direction on the frame. As a result of using the trimming unit to edit superimposed frames that are continuously generated, a problem seen in the prior art wherein an object to be displayed within video playback is inverted does not occur.

  • Patent number: 10052075
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a current image acquisition device which acquires a current image of a subject having a structure having a periodic movement, a past image acquisition device which acquires multiple past images of the subject such that the past images captured for over one or more periods of the periodic movement are acquired, and circuitry which searches multiple feature points on each past image and the current image, associates the feature points on the current image and the feature points on each of the past images, calculates, for each of the past images, a degree of similarity between the feature points on each of the past images and the feature points on the current image based on association, and identifies to which one of the past images the current image corresponds such that at which phase of the periodic movement the current image is positioned is estimated.

  • Patent number: 9591751
    Abstract: In a conductive sheet using a metal nanofiber, metal migration in a visible conductive pattern is eliminated. Also, the intervals of the conductive portion (separate sheet terminal) are shortened. On a substrate (26) is a conductive sheet (10), formed from a transparent conductive pattern (11) and a visible conductive pattern (16). The transparent conductive pattern comprises a first nanofiber layer (12) that is a layer including a metal nanofiber, and a first heat-insulating layer (29) adjacent to the first nanofiber layer. The visible conductive pattern (16) forms an underlayer pattern from a second nanofiber layer (17) that is a layer including a metal nanofiber, and a second heat-insulating layer (27) adjacent to the second nanofiber layer; and a top-layer pattern comprising a paste layer (18) that is a layer including a metal paste laminated on the underlayer pattern. The second heat-insulating layer (27) is a conductive sheet that is a layer including a metal nanofiber cut to a minimum size.

  • Patent number: 9279354
    Abstract: A heating-controller controls an electric power supply from a battery to a urea-water heater based on a voltage of the battery detected by a voltage detector and an engine-state of an internal combustion engine obtained by an engine-state detector. When a voltage of the battery is low or when the internal combustion engine stops, the heating-controller prohibits the electric power supply from the battery to the urea-water heater. A urea-water adding device can avoid an excess decrease of a battery power by intermittently energizing the urea-water heater according to the engine-state of an internal combustion engine and the battery voltage VB.
