  • Patent number: 9414808
    Abstract: An ultrasound diagnostic device 101 is equipped with a probe distance determiner 7 and a screen creator 8. The probe distance determiner 7 analyses a positional relationship between a probe and an area subject to measurement appearing in an ultrasound image, and determines whether or not the analysed positional relationship is appropriate. The screen creator 8 notifies a user of determination results. An appropriate positional relationship is one in which a pixel region having luminance characteristics of a gelatinous medium is present between an element array of an ultrasound probe 102 and the area subject to measurement appearing in the ultrasound image, and in which the distance between the prove and the area subject to measurement exceeds a predetermined threshold across the entire length of the element array.

  • Patent number: 9414811
    Abstract: An ultrasound diagnostic device including a component specifier. Assume a first direction is a depth direction substantially perpendicular to a surface of a subject, a second direction is a direction orthogonal to the first direction, a first pixel is a pixel at a pixel location N in the second direction, a second pixel is a pixel at a pixel location N+1 in the second direction, and N is a positive integer. The component specifier detects one or more feature lines from the ultrasound image by repeatedly, while incrementing N, linking the first pixel with the second pixel when luminance of the second pixel is high and the second pixel is in close proximity to the first pixel, and specifies which of the one or more feature lines indicates a boundary between components, based on an order in the first direction of the one or more feature lines.

  • Publication number: 20150057544
    Abstract: An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus includes an ultrasound image acquirer, an evaluation target determiner, a disease progression score calculator, a selector, and a display controller. The ultrasound image acquirer acquires ultrasound image signals of a plurality of frames. The evaluation target determiner analyzes the ultrasound image signal of each frame and determines the frame to be an evaluation target frame when the ultrasound image signal includes a target image section depicting a joint. The disease progression score calculator calculates, for each evaluation target frame, a disease progression score quantifying disease activity using an ultrasound image signal of the target image section included in the ultrasound image signal of the evaluation target frame. The selector selects at least one disease progression score in accordance with a predetermined numerical process.
