Publication number: 20240005459Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a computer program executed by a computer, a method, and an image processing device are disclosed that are capable of compensating a missing region in a tomographic image in a state in which a part of a lumen organ is missing. In accordance with the program, a computer acquires a plurality of tomographic images of a cross section of the lumen organ captured at a plurality of places using a catheter. In addition, the computer extracts, from the plurality of tomographic images, a tomographic image in which the part of the lumen organ is missing. Then, the computer compensates a missing region of the lumen organ for the extracted tomographic image.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Applicant: TERUMO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yuki SAKAGUCHI, Kohtaroh KUSU

Publication number: 20210068704Abstract: A diagnostic method, a diagnostic system, and a control method of a diagnostic system that can detect specific behavior of an elongated body easily and with high accuracy are provided. The diagnostic method is a diagnostic method for diagnosing the behavior of a guiding catheter having a distal end and a proximal end in a biological lumen. The diagnostic method includes inserting the guiding catheter into the biological lumen from the distal end and detecting energy that has passed through a body after irradiating the inside of the body with the energy. The diagnostic method also includes identifying the position of the guiding catheter in the body by the detected energy and comparing the identified position of the guiding catheter with an expected position and detecting specific behavior of the guiding catheter from an amount of deviation of the position of the guiding catheter with respect to the expected position.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2020Publication date: March 11, 2021Applicant: TERUMO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Kohtaroh KUSU, Mitsuteru YASUNAGA, Yusuke SEKINE
