  • Publication number: 20230165552
    Abstract: A medical image processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry obtains X-ray images that are sequentially collected during a partial period of time in a cardiac phase of a subject who has a device inserted into the body. Then, the processing circuitry identifies a characteristic region of the device captured in a plurality of obtained X-ray images, and performs registration in which the position of the characteristic region identified in a reference image, which is one of the plurality of X-ray images, serves as the reference position, and in which the position of the characteristic region identified in the plurality of X-ray images collected after the reference image is adjusted based on the reference position.

  • Publication number: 20220292655
    Abstract: A medical image processing apparatus of an embodiment includes processing circuitry acquiring an X-ray image about a subject, acquiring an ultrasonic image data about the subject, extracting an object contained in the X-ray image, and performing processing based on the position of the extracted object on the ultrasonic image data in accordance with the relative positional relation between a coordinate system in the X-ray image and a coordinate system in the ultrasonic image data to generate a composite image as a combination of a processed ultrasonic image data after being subjected to the processing and the X-ray image.

  • Patent number: 11058386
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a medical image diagnosis system includes a plurality of devices, operating circuitry, processing circuitry, and a display. The plurality of devices is to be inserted into a body of an object. The operating circuitry operates at least one of the devices. The processing circuitry obtains a medical image of the object and specifies a device being operated based on movement of the device in the medical image when the device is being operated by the operating circuitry. The display identifiably displays a device to be operated by the operating circuitry based on a result of specification by the processing circuitry.

  • Patent number: 10285660
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an X-ray diagnostic apparatus includes a support frame, an input button, and processing circuitry. The support frame supports an X-ray detector which detects X-rays. The input button provides on at least one of an exterior of the support frame and an exterior of the X-ray detector and inputs an instruction to implement an assigned moving operation pattern of a plurality of moving operation patterns concerning movement of at least one of the support frame, the X-ray detector, and a table top. The processing circuitry assigns the input button with an instruction to implement a moving operation pattern, of the plurality of moving operation patterns, which is selected by an operator.

  • Publication number: 20180000438
    Abstract: An X-ray diagnostic apparatus according to an embodiment includes an X-ray tube, an X-ray detector, an arm holding the X-ray tube and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry obtains body thickness information of a subject in an acquisition direction of an X-ray image at an arm position different from an arm position at a start of acquiring X-ray images. The processing circuitry sets, based on the body thickness information of the subject, acquisition condition at the start of acquiring the X-ray images. The processing circuitry starts acquiring of the X-ray images with the set acquisition condition. The processing circuitry acquires the X-ray images sequentially by rotating the arm while iteratively,setting the acquisition condition by feedback control.
