  • Patent number: 9730666
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a medical image processing apparatus includes an image storage memory, a calculation circuitry, a level decision circuitry, and an output interface circuitry. The image storage memory stores data of a plurality of images in different respiratory phases. The calculation circuitry calculates a motion amount of a region between the plurality of images for each pixel or area. The level decision circuitry decides a level concerning a severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease for each pixel or area. The output interface circuitry outputs information concerning the decided level.

  • Patent number: 9691148
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a medical imaging analyzer includes an imaging unit, a calculator, and an analyzer. The imaging unit divides an area including an object of a subject to be captured into a plurality of partial areas such that the partial areas overlap each other to form an overlapping area, and administers a contrast agent to each of the partial areas to capture a plurality of time-series images. The calculator calculates, based on the transition of the pixel value in one of the time-series images having the overlapping area, the transition of the pixel value in the other time-series image having the overlapping area. The analyzer analyzes the time-series images based on the transition of the pixel value in the one and the other of the time-series images to obtain the hemodynamics of the subject.

  • Publication number: 20040127262
    Abstract: Provided is a portable telephone device which allows the user to obtain a horizontally elongated display panel by taking simple procedures, without increasing the overall size of the device for the purpose. The portable telephone device comprises a display portion connected freely rotatably to a keyboard portion such that a display panel changes its shape from a vertically elongated one to a horizontally elongated one and vice versa according to the rotation angle of the display portion with respect to the keyboard portion. The user, when he/she wants to collect visual information via the display panel, only rotates the display portion with respect to the keyboard portion, to thereby obtain a horizontally elongated display panel.
