  • Publication number: 20240023939
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for operating an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus, comprising the steps of: acquiring a first ultrasound image of an object; detecting a first nerve region corresponding to a first target nerve in the first ultrasound image; determining whether an abnormal region is present in the first nerve region of the first ultrasound image, on the basis of a determination standard for determining whether a target nerve is abnormal; and on the basis of a result of determining whether an abnormal region is present in the first nerve region, displaying at least one of information on the abnormal region and basis information regarding the basis for determining the abnormal region as abnormal.

  • Patent number: 11158093
    Abstract: A medical imaging apparatus includes an X-ray source configured to irradiate X-rays to an object; an X-ray detector configured to detect the X-rays radiated from the X-ray source to obtain projection data; and an image processor configured to reconstruct the projection data based on a motion parameter representing movement of at least one of the object, the X-ray source, and the X-ray detector, and to generate a medical image by applying a weighting process to the reconstructed projection data.

  • Patent number: 10952694
    Abstract: A method and apparatus correct a computed tomography (CT) image with motion artifacts. The method of correcting a CT image may include: obtaining a reconstruction image of an object by reconstructing an X-ray projection image; measuring a parameter value related to motion artifacts that occur due to movement of the object in at least one of the X-ray projection image or the reconstruction image; calculating a correction possibility for the reconstruction image based on the measured parameter value; and determining whether to perform correction on the reconstruction image based on the calculated correction possibility.
