Patent number: 9600922Abstract: In an image processing apparatus, an extracting unit extracts mutually the same region of interest from each of a plurality of pieces of three-dimensional image data corresponding to mutually-different time phases. Further, a position determining unit determines, on the basis of feature points included in the pieces of three-dimensional image data, a position used for superimposing together the regions of interest extracted by the extracting unit from the pieces of three-dimensional image data, in substantially the same position of a subject. After that, a display controlling unit changes a display format of each of the regions of interest extracted by the extracting unit from the pieces of three-dimensional image data so as to be mutually different and causes a superimposed image to be displayed by superimposing the regions of interest together in the position determined by the position determining unit.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2014Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: Toshiba Medical Systems CorporationInventors: Shinsuke Tsukagoshi, Takashi Tsutsumi, Yasuko Fujisawa, Manabu Teshigawara, Akira Adachi

Patent number: 6829324Abstract: An X-ray CT scanner comprises an X-ray source generating an X-ray, detector detecting the X-ray transmitted through an object, processor to produce projection data, and reconstruction unit to reconstruct an image using the projection data. The processor produces the projection image by applying, to an output signal from the detector, logarithm conversion processing on a function deviating from an ideal logarithm function. The ideal logarithm function is a logarithm function defined by a mathematical formula of y=K·log [b, x] (wherein a variable x is an input, a variable y is an output, and a reference K shows a scaling constant). The function deviating from the ideal logarithm function has an input/output characteristic deviating from that of the ideal logarithm function. Such deviating function is for example a linear function and applied to a conversion of only low-count data into its projection data to suppress low-count artifacts on reconstructed CT images.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2002Date of Patent: December 7, 2004Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Issei Mori, Akira Adachi, Masahiro Kazama, Satoshi Saito
