Publication number: 20200046451Abstract: A user input obtainer receives an image movement instruction including identification information specifying a position shift or an image capture time shift to be performed and also including a displacement amount. When the identification information specifies the position shift, a slice position selector determines a tomographic image at a destination of the position shift based on the displacement amount from a set of tomographic images captured at the same time. On the other hand, when the identification information specifies the image capture time shift, the image capture time selector determines a tomographic image at a destination of the shift based on the displacement amount from sets of tomographic images that are identical to each other in terms of a patient, an examination portion, and a modality. A displaying image obtainer reads out the determined tomographic image from an image storage device and gives it to a display information generator.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2019Publication date: February 13, 2020Inventors: Kazuki KOZUKA, Kenji KONDO, Kazutoyo TAKATA

Publication number: 20190295711Abstract: If a lesion included in a specification target image is a texture lesion, a probability image calculation unit calculates a probability value indicating a probability that each of a plurality of pixels of the specification target image is included in a lesion area. An output unit calculates, as a candidate area, an area including pixels whose probability values are equal to or larger than a first threshold in a probability image obtained from the probability image calculation unit and, as a modification area, an area including pixels whose probability values are within a certain probability range including the first threshold. An input unit detects an input from a user on a pixel in the modification area. A lesion area specification unit specifies a lesion area on the basis of the probability image, the candidate area, the modification area, and user operation information.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2019Publication date: September 26, 2019Inventors: Kensuke WAKASUGI, Kenji KONDO, Kazutoyo TAKATA, Hirohiko KIMURA, Toyohiko SAKAI

Patent number: 10303446Abstract: A program generating method acquires a first image set, and retrieves a similar image that is similar to a processing target image included in the first image set, from a database. For each of N number of second image sets in the database, an integrated similarity of an image included in the second image set with respect to the processing target image is calculated based on a first similarity between the image included in the second image set and the processing target image, a second similarity between the second image set and the first image set, and the completeness of the first image set, and the similar image is retrieved based on the integrated similarity.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2017Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Kazutoyo Takata, Koji Morikawa

Publication number: 20190155836Abstract: Similar medical images having a predetermined similarity to a region of interest in a medical image to be interpreted are received from a case search system. A display screen on which the received similar medical images are displayed is displayed on a display. The display screen includes display frames within which similar medical images are displayed. In response to an instruction for enlarging the similar medical images, corresponding regions of interest in the similar medical images are enlarged and displayed with the sizes of the display frames maintained unchanged on the display screen. In response to an instruction for causing a selected similar medical image among the enlarged and displayed similar medical images to move within a corresponding display frame, the other unselected similar medical image(s) is caused to move within a corresponding display frame synchronously with the movement of the selected similar medical image in the same movement direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2019Publication date: May 23, 2019Inventors: Kazuki KOZUKA, Kazutoyo TAKATA, Kenji KONDO, Hirohiko KIMURA, Toyohiko SAKAI

Patent number: 10261681Abstract: A control method displays a display screen including a first display area that displays a target medical image and a second display area that displays a received plurality of similar medical images including first and second similar medical images, the first and second similar medical images being displayed adjacently to each other in the second display area. If a first operation is sensed, the control method displays the target medical image adjacent to the first similar medical image in the second display area, and also display the target medical image adjacent to the second similar medical image in the second display area. The first operation is an operation of moving the target medical image adjacent to the first similar medical image in the second display area, and also moving the target medical image adjacent to the second similar medical image in the second display area.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2016Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Kazuki Kozuka, Kazutoyo Takata, Kenji Kondo

Patent number: 10216863Abstract: An input image being displayed is acquired. A database is accessed to search for an image similar to the input image from images stored in the database. A candidate script associated with the similar image is retrieved from the database, and a decisive degree of the candidate script is calculated based on a result of the search for the similar image. A presentation program is generated by changing a value of a parameter included in the candidate script depending on the decisive degree. The input image is changed by executing the generated presentation program.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2017Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: Panasonic Intellectual Property Management Co.
