  • Publication number: 20230263494
    Abstract: A re-imaging determination support device including a hardware processor that: judges a first misalignment of a predetermined region in a radiographic image; judges a second misalignment of a predetermined region in the radiographic image; and outputs re-imaging determination support information that supports determining whether or not to perform re-imaging for the radiographic image, based on at least a judgement of the first misalignment and a judgement of the second misalignment.

  • Patent number: 11672495
    Abstract: A radiographic imaging system includes a radiographic imager, an optical imager and an optical imaging condition setter. The radiographic imager detects radiation emitted from a radiation source and passed through a subject to take a radiograph. The optical imager takes an optical image of a region including a region to which the radiation is emitted from the radiation source. The optical imaging condition setter sets an optical imaging condition of the optical imager based on a radiographic imaging condition for the radiograph.

  • Publication number: 20230035575
    Abstract: An analysis device includes a hardware processor, an acquirer, and an outputter, wherein the hardware processor acquires first medically-related information obtained through computer processing performed on medical information, the hardware processor generates structured data by structuring unstructured data acquired from user-created information on the basis of the medical information, the acquirer acquires second medically-related information from the structured data, the hardware processor compares the acquired first medically-related information and the second medically-related information acquired by the acquirer, and the outputter outputs next step information on the basis of a comparison result from the comparing.

  • Publication number: 20220328168
    Abstract: A failed-image decision support apparatus includes a hardware processor and an outputter. The hardware processor performs, among multiple types of failed-image determination processes, at least one failed-image determination process on a medical image, thereby generating a determination result and determination basis information indicating a basis for the determination result. The outputter outputs the determination result and the determination basis information. Another failed-image decision support apparatus includes a hardware processor. The hardware processor performs, among multiple types of failed-image determination processes, at least one failed-image determination process on a medical image, thereby generating a determination result and determination basis information indicating a basis for the determination result, and controls output of the determination result and the determination basis information.

  • Publication number: 20210358597
    Abstract: Provided is an information processing device that is interposed between an imaging control device and an image management device in communication. The information processing device including an abnormality detector and a first hardware processor. The abnormality detector performs detection of an abnormality in a medical image received from the imaging control device. The first hardware processor that determines, based on a result of the detection by the abnormality detector, content or a destination of transmission of the medical image or the result of the detection.

  • Patent number: 11160525
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a hardware processor that: calculates a representative signal value in a region where no signal value variations attributable to dynamic states of an object are present, in each of a plurality of frame images acquired by consecutively applying radiation onto the object a plurality of times, and extracts high-frequency components of changes over time in the calculated representative signal values; and corrects signal value variations attributable to a fact that an irradiation amount varies each time the radiation is applied, by subtracting the extracted high-frequency components from the plurality of frame images, respectively, or dividing the plurality of frame images by the extracted high-frequency components, respectively.
