  • Publication number: 20170243348
    Abstract: An assistance apparatus for assisting creation of an interpretation report obtains a set of regions of interest, which are determined as regions that were observed, of medical image data of a subject that is displayed as an interpretation target, and a set of described regions, which are regions that correspond to description of an interpretation report about the medical image data of a subject. The assistance apparatus determines consistency between the set of regions of interest and the set of described regions, and lets a display unit display a result of the determination.

  • Publication number: 20160364837
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a first acquiring unit, an accepting unit, a second acquiring unit, and a display control unit. The first acquiring unit acquires a processed image, wherein the processed image is acquired by processing at least one medical image. The accepting unit accepts a display instruction for the processed image based on a user's operation input. The second acquiring unit acquires information regarding a type of the processing and the medical image used for the processing. The display control unit displays the processed image, instructed by the display instruction and the medical image used for the processing, in a medical image display region based on the information regarding the type of the processing.

  • Publication number: 20160247303
    Abstract: A medical image display apparatus which displays, in a display screen, a display image having undergone gray level transform of changing number of gray levels of a medical image, obtains a representative value of pixel values concerning a region of a block, in the medical image, which corresponds to each partial region in a region designated in the display image. The medical image display apparatus sets a specific region in the display screen so as to include the designated region, and superimposes/displays and arranges obtained representative values on the specific region in correspondence with the arrangement of the partial regions.

  • Publication number: 20150363053
    Abstract: A display control apparatus for displaying medical image data generates a thumbnail for selecting medical image data, using a reduced image obtained from the medical image data. In the thumbnail, partial areas are set according to anatomical areas obtained from the medical image data. In response to an instruction to select the thumbnail that is displayed, the display control apparatus displays a medical image corresponding to the thumbnail. The display control unit determines a display content of the medical image that is to be displayed on the display unit, based on a designated position in the thumbnail in the instruction.
