  • Publication number: 20150193962
    Abstract: An image processing system according to an embodiment includes an input unit, an output unit, an acquiring unit, and a display unit. The input unit receives setting of a landmark in first medical image data obtained by capturing a certain tissue of a subject. The output unit outputs data including information of the position of the landmark in the first medical image data as output data. The acquiring unit receives the output data and acquires, based on one or a plurality of pieces of second medical image data obtained by capturing the certain tissue of the subject and the position of the landmark, three-dimensional position information of the landmark in a three-dimensional capturing space of the second medical image data. The display unit displays image data obtained by superimposing the first medical image data on the second medical image data, based on the three-dimensional position information.

  • Publication number: 20150193932
    Abstract: An image processing system according to an embodiment includes a first aligning unit, an output unit, a second aligning unit, and a display unit. The first aligning unit aligns first three-dimensional medical image data with second three-dimensional medical image data. The output unit outputs, as output data, data obtained by adding alignment information to the first three-dimensional medical image data and to the second three-dimensional medical image data or synthetic data obtained by aligning and synthesizing the first three-dimensional medical image data with the second three-dimensional medical image data. The second aligning unit receives the output data and aligns the second three-dimensional medical image data with one or a plurality of pieces of X-ray image data. The display unit displays image data obtained by aligning the first three-dimensional medical image data with X-ray image data based on an alignment result.

  • Publication number: 20150173693
    Abstract: An X-ray diagnosis apparatus according to an embodiment includes a calculating unit and a control unit. The calculating unit that calculates an angle between a specified position specified in an ultrasonic image generated through transmission and reception of ultrasonic waves by an ultrasound probe and a predetermined position in a radiographic space where a subject is radiographed based on information on a relative position between the radiographic space and a scanning space where the subject is scanned by the ultrasound probe. The control unit that controls an arm to move so that the subject is radiographed at the angle calculated by the calculating unit.

  • Publication number: 20150173698
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes a determination unit and a display control unit. The determination unit that determines whether an X-ray image serving as a first image is to be displayed as a moving image or a still image and a second image is to be displayed as a moving image or a still image according to display states of the images. The display control unit that controls a display unit to display thereon at least any one of superimposed images of a combination of a moving image and a moving image, a combination of a moving image and a still image, and a combination of a still image and a moving image of the X-ray image and the second image, according to the determination made by the determination unit.

  • Patent number: 8411925
    Abstract: A first generating unit generates a plurality of blood vessel image data sets at the plurality of imaging angles by performing subtraction processing for the plurality of mask image data sets and the plurality of contrast image data sets. A second generating unit generates a blood vessel volume data set including an artery region, a vein region, and a capillary vessel region by performing reconstruction processing for the plurality of blood vessel image data sets. A third generating unit generates a capillary vessel volume data set associated with the capillary vessel region by removing the artery region and the vein region from the blood vessel volume data set. A fourth generating unit generates a capillary vessel image data set by performing three-dimensional image processing for the capillary vessel volume data set.
