Abstract: An object is to provide a medical image processing device, a medical image processing system, a medical image processing method, and a program for presenting a usage status of image processing that is settable for automatic execution. At least one processor and at least one memory storing a command to be executed by the at least one processor are provided. The at least one processor is configured to: collect usage information by a user for a result of first image processing, which is for assisting in diagnosis of a medical image and which is settable as automatic execution image processing to be automatically executed on the input medical image, and accompanying information on the medical image which is a target of the first image processing; and display the usage information and the accompanying information in association with each other on a display.

Abstract: A processor acquires an endoscopic image of a subject to be examined that is picked up by an endoscope inserted into a body of the subject to be examined. The processor searches for a similar endoscopic image, which has characteristics similar to characteristics of the acquired endoscopic image, from a plurality of diagnosed endoscopic images with reference to an external device in which the plurality of diagnosed endoscopic images and diagnosis logs about the respective diagnosed endoscopic images including position information indicating a position of a disease are stored. The processor uses the position information, which is included in the diagnosis log about the similar endoscopic image, to specify a photographic position in the subject to be examined at which an image of a disease to be expected in the subject to be examined is capable of being picked up, and notifies of the specified photographic position.

Abstract: A processor searches for a first similar case from among a plurality of reference cases, each of the plurality of reference cases including at least one diagnosed image and a diagnosis log, the diagnosis log describing a treatment method performed on a diagnosed patient for whom the diagnosed image is acquired and a treatment result obtained by the treatment method, the first similar case having a similar feature to a target image obtained by imaging a treatment target patient who is to be treated, the first similar case including, as the diagnosed image, a post-treatment image obtained through imaging after treatment. The processor further searches for a second similar case from among the plurality of reference cases, the second similar case having a similar feature to the post-treatment image included in the first similar case.

Abstract: A processor acquires an ultrasound image group including a plurality of ultrasound images of a subject captured by an ultrasound probe, which is moved along a body surface of the subject, at a plurality of imaging positions of the subject. The processor searches for a similar ultrasound image group that is similar to features of the acquired ultrasound image group with reference to a plurality of diagnosed ultrasound image groups and a diagnostic log which is for each of the plurality of diagnosed ultrasound image groups and which includes positional information indicating a position of a disease. The processor specifies an imaging position on a body surface where a disease predicted in the subject is capable of being imaged, using the positional information included in the diagnostic log for the similar ultrasound image group, and notifies of the specified imaging position.

Abstract: Provided are an image processing apparatus, an image processing method and program, and an image processing system that improve diagnostic accuracy by prompting processing requests more easily and without omission. The above object is achieved by the image processing apparatus, the image processing method and program, and the image processing system configured to acquire image features of a medical image of an examination target, acquire a reference case and a diagnostic log based on the image features, determine a recommended process for the medical image of the examination target based on the acquired reference case and diagnostic log, and present the recommended process.

Abstract: An information processing system, an information processing method, and a non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing an information processing program that optimize a second process that is performed for a medical image after a first process are provided. An information processing system includes an automatic processing server that includes a CPU-20 and a storage unit storing instructions executable by the CPU-20, and a workstation that includes a CPU-30 and a storage unit storing instructions executable by the CPU-30. The CPU-20 carries out an image analysis for a medical image as a first process. The CPU-30 specifies a second process that depends on a processing result of the first process, from among a plurality of processes performable by a plurality of applications, and performs the second process for the medical image subjected to the first process.

Abstract: The CPU 20 obtains a three-dimensional image 50 that is a captured image of an organ of a subject and obtains a plurality of ultrasound tomographic images 56 that are images of the organ successively captured at different positions. The CPU 20 identifies, for each ultrasound tomographic image 56 among the plurality of ultrasound tomographic images 56, a CT tomographic image 49 corresponding to a cross section the same as a cross section to which the ultrasound tomographic image 56 corresponds, among a plurality of CT tomographic images 49 that constitute the three-dimensional image 50, and associates position information indicating a position corresponding to the identified CT tomographic image 49 with the ultrasound tomographic image 56 among the plurality of ultrasound tomographic images 56. The CPU 20 generates a three-dimensional ultrasound image 58 from the plurality of ultrasound tomographic images 56 on the basis of the position information.

Abstract: A three-dimensional ultrasound imaging support apparatus includes: a processor configured to generate a three-dimensional ultrasound image based on a plurality of two-dimensional ultrasound images which are imaged by an ultrasound probe at different positions of a certain portion of a subject and an imaging position of the ultrasound probe for each imaging; estimate an imaging portion corresponding to the two-dimensional ultrasound image and to the three-dimensional ultrasound image; determine, by using a guideline in which a plurality of imaging targets to be imaged are defined in advance for each portion of the subject, for the estimated imaging portion, whether or not all of the plurality of imaging targets defined in advance in the guideline are imaged; and perform notification indicating that the imaging target which is not imaged is present in a case where it is determined that the imaging target which is not imaged is present.

Abstract: A three-dimensional ultrasound image generation apparatus includes: an image acquisition unit that acquires a plurality of two-dimensional ultrasound images from each of a first viewpoint and a second viewpoint; a probe position information acquisition unit that acquires, for each imaging, position information of an ultrasound probe; a three-dimensional ultrasound image generation unit that generates three-dimensional ultrasound images; an organ extraction unit that extracts an organ included in the three-dimensional ultrasound images; an image processing unit that extracts an unclear image region from the three-dimensional ultrasound image from which at least the organ is extracted based on position information of the organ and the position information of the ultrasound probe and that performs suppression processing of suppressing unclearness; and an image combination unit that generates a combined three-dimensional ultrasound image by combining the three-dimensional ultrasound images from two viewpoints inc
