  • Publication number: 20240065645
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described, which generate a plurality of virtual monochromatic X-ray images having different energy levels even with a CT system with single energy CT. An example CT system includes an X-ray tube in which a prescribed tube voltage (120 (kVp)) is applied and one or more processors. The one or more processors perform an operation including inputting a CT image generated based on the single energy CT data collected from a subject body to a trained neural network (94), and causing the trained neural network to infer 40 (keV), 50 (keV), 60 (keV), 80 (keV), 90 (keV), and 100 (keV) virtual monochromatic X-ray images based on the CT image.

  • Publication number: 20240070861
    Abstract: A device including one or more processor for performing an operation, the operation including inputting a CT image into a first trained neural network, causing the first trained neural network to infer a virtual monochromatic X-ray image based on the CT image, generating a water density image and iodine density image based on the CT image and the virtual monochromatic X-ray image inferred by the first trained neural network, inputting the water density image and iodine density image into a second trained neural network, and causing the second trained neural network to infer a water density image and iodine density image based on the water density image and iodine density image.

  • Publication number: 20230290022
    Abstract: A computed tomography (CT) system with one or a plurality of processors to perform operations. The operations include reconstructing a series of virtual monochromatic X-ray images of the first energy and a series of virtual monochromatic X-ray images of the second energy based on data collected from an imaging subject, inputting the input image generated based on the reconstructed virtual monochromatic X-ray images of the second energy to the trained model and using the trained model to infer a series of virtual monochromatic X-ray image of the first energy, and generating a corrected series of virtual monochromatic X-ray images of the first energy based on the first reconstructed series of virtual monochromatic X-ray images of the first energy and the inferred series of virtual monochromatic X-ray images of the first energy.

  • Patent number: 11166701
    Abstract: A system 100 comprises a first medical image capture apparatus UL1 and a second medical image capture apparatus UL2 that share values of at least some of a plurality of preferences and are of different kinds, wherein a first control device 81 in the first ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus UL1 executes an output function of outputting a value of a preference that the first input device 71 has accepted, to a server 104 along with information on the kind of the first ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus UL1, and a server control device 1411 converts the output value of the preference based on conversion information, and then, transmits the converted value to the second ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus UL2. The second ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus UL2 converts the converted value from the server 104 into that in the kind of the second medical image capture apparatus, and performs setting of the converted value.

  • Patent number: 10918279
    Abstract: A system comprises a plurality of ultrasonic diagnostic apparatuses connected via a network, and comprises: a storage device in which specification information for specifying some of preferences A, B, C to be shared between first and second ultrasonic diagnostic apparatuses is stored; and at least one control device. The control device executes a deciding function of deciding, once the first ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus has accepted an input of a value of at least any one of the plurality of preferences A, B, C, whether or not a preference corresponding to the input value is the preference to be shared based on said specification information, and sets the value of the preference into the second ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus.
