Abstract: An X-ray diagnostic apparatus according to an embodiment includes an X-ray tube, an X-ray detector, image generating circuitry, and processing circuitry. The X-ray tube generates an X-ray. The X-ray detector is positioned in a manner facing the X-ray tube, and detects the X-ray. The image generating circuitry generates an X-ray image one after another, based on an output of the X-ray detector. The processing circuitry identifies an inserted object inside a subject in the X-ray image, by performing an image recognition process to the X-ray image. The processing circuitry sets the area to be searched for a marker, based on the inserted object identified in the X-ray image. The processing circuitry detects the marker in the X-ray image, by searching the area to be searched for the marker.

Abstract: An analysis device according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry extracts, from medical image data, the shape of a blood vessel of a subject and the shape of a plaque formed in the blood vessel. Then, while changing a first-type timing in sequence, the processing circuitry calculates a mechanical index, which is related to the plaque at the first-type timing, based on the shape of the blood vessel and the shape of the plaque at the first-type timing. Subsequently, based on the mechanical index at the first-type timing, the processing circuitry predicts the shape of the plaque at a second-type timing that is the next timing to the first-type timing. Then, the processing circuitry displays, in a display unit, the predicted shape of the plaque at the time second-type at which the plaque reaches a specific condition.

Abstract: A medical information processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to obtain an image capturing a space in which a manipulation is being performed on an examined subject and non-image information related to at least one of the manipulation, the examined subject, or the space. Also, the processing circuitry is configured to detect a situation having a high possibility for an occurrence of an abnormality in the space, on the basis of the obtained image, the obtained non-image information, and first correspondence information. The first correspondence information indicates a correspondence relationship between two or more images capturing the space, non-image information, and abnormalities having a high possibility of occurring in the space.
