  • Publication number: 20250069221
    Abstract: A learning model is trained to output output data indicating an inference result regarding an ultrasound image that is a medical image, based on input data representing the ultrasound image. An inference parameter change unit changes an inference parameter, which is a parameter that is an adjustment target in training processing of the learning model and that affects the output data, in response to an instruction from a user. An inference processing unit outputs an inference result regarding a target ultrasound image, which is an inference processing target, based on output data in a case in which the target ultrasound image is input to the learning model having the changed inference parameter.

  • Publication number: 20250009584
    Abstract: With an examination table device according to an aspect of the present invention, locking of a traveling unit and locking of a top plate are automatically (independently of an operation of a user) are performed in conjunction with connection between the examination table device and a medical image capturing apparatus, so that it is not necessary for the user to perform operations for the locking of the traveling unit and the locking of the top plate in a case of the connection and the connection release. In addition, there is no concern that the traveling unit is not locked due to operation forgetting, the locking release of the top plate is not in time for an operation timing, or the like. Therefore, the locking states of the traveling unit and the top plate can be reliably controlled.
