Abstract: A medical information processing apparatus comprises processing circuitry. The processing circuitry calculates a functional rate quantitively indicating a degree as to whether or not a body site related to a symptom of a target patient is properly functioning. The processing circuitry calculates a current state of the target patient as a first state. The processing circuitry estimates, with reference to time-series second medical information having a tendency similar to the first medical information and being related to a similar patient, a likelihood that the state of the target patient may be exacerbated at a future time as a second state, on a basis of a functional rate of the similar patient calculated from a selected part of the second medical information corresponding to time since the similarity to the first medical information was recognized. The processing circuitry causes the first state and the second state to be displayed.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a three-dimensional image processing apparatus includes at least a storage, an inputting unit, an image generating unit and a pointer controlling unit. The storage stores volume data of a target. The inputting unit receives an input operation for moving a pointer. The image generating unit generates a superimposed image in which a rendering image generated by performing a rendering process on the volume data and a pointer image are superimposed in consideration of information of depth. The pointer controlling unit obtains information of a three-dimensional position of the pointer. When the pointer is on the rendering image, the pointer controlling unit moves the pointer along a three-dimensional surface of a target contained in the volume data.

Abstract: A differential-image creating unit creates a three-dimensional image on which an artery is highlighted and a three-dimensional image on which a tumor is highlighted. An image compositing unit combines the three-dimensional images to composite an image. A display control unit displays the composite image on a monitor. Moreover, when compositing an image, the image compositing unit composites the image such that a tumor nutrient blood-flow inside and outside tumor is to be displayed in respective different colors. Furthermore, a blood-flow quantity inside tumor measuring unit calculates a blood-flow quantity inside tumor and a ratio of the blood-flow quantity inside tumor to a tumor volume, and the display control unit displays the blood-flow quantity inside tumor and the ratio of the blood-flow quantity inside tumor to the tumor volume. Accordingly, information that is meaningful for determining malignancy of a tumor can be provided.

Abstract: A cardiac cavity region specifying part specifies the position of a cardiac cavity region represented in volume data. An image generation plane determining part determines an image generation plane that includes a rotation axis intersecting the cardiac cavity region. With a direction orthogonal to the image generation plane as a view direction, a first image generator generates three-dimensional image data that three-dimensionally represents a region excluding the cardiac cavity region, based on data excluding data included in the cardiac cavity of the volume data. A second image generator generates two-dimensional image data that two-dimensionally represents a region in the image generation plane, based on the data excluding the data included in the cardiac cavity region of the volume data. An image synthesizer synthesizes the three-dimensional image data with the two-dimensional image data. A display controller causes a display to display the synthesized image.

Abstract: A switched fabric is provided in a digital control system and data communication is performed using DMA transfer. A communication control unit is provided for controlling the switched fabric. The communication control unit determines the priorities of data to be transferred according to their types. When the communication control unit receives a request for higher-priority DMA transfer during DMA transfer, it suspends the current DMA transfer and performs the higher-priority DMA transfer. After completion of the higher-priority DMA transfer, the communication control unit resumes the suspended DMA transfer.

Abstract: There is provided a portable terminal device which is capable of transmitting and receiving data such as an image during a voice call by using a radio communications system allowing parallel access. The portable access allows parallel access where a voice call by way of a circuit switching system and data communications using a packet communications system are made in parallel. In case an instruction to transmit data to a distant party is issued by way of an operation on the key operation section during a voice call (S16), the directory data is referenced and the mail address of the distant party is retrieved and acquired (step S21). An electronic mail with the photo image data, etc. shot with a camera section attached is automatically generated and transmitted to the distant party by way of packet communications (S23). In case the received electronic mail is from the distant party and image data, etc.
