  • Publication number: 20150351696
    Abstract: The present invention comprises an analysis unit for applying a plurality of candidate delay times to either data with a short SD distance or data with a long SD distance acquired in advance and calculating a separation degree indicating the degree of separation of the skin blood flow signal after separation using the TDD-ICA method for each candidate delay time; a delay time determination unit for determining the optimal delay time according to the separation degree; and a display data generation unit for generating display data to display a waveform before the separation and a waveform of the cerebral blood flow signal as well as a waveform of the skin blood flow signal after the separation on a display unit so as to be compared with each other when displaying the result of the separation using the determined delay time.

  • Patent number: 8740797
    Abstract: An ultrasonic therapeutic apparatus according to the present invention being provided with: an ultrasonic probe (102) provided with a group of ultrasonic transducers for diagnosis use and a group of ultrasonic transducers for therapeutic use of which at least apart of ultrasonic beam irradiation surfaces are arranged so as to overlap each other, a tomographic image producing means (8) that produces a tomographic image containing a diseased portion of a subject from reflection echoes received by the group of ultrasonic transducers for diagnosis use, a display means (10) that displays the tomographic image containing the diseased portion of the subject produced by the tomographic image producing means (8), a setting means (103) that sets an irradiation path of the therapeutic ultrasonic waves on the tomographic image containing the diseased portion of the subject displayed by the display means (10) and a control means (104) that produces irradiation path information corresponding to the irradiation path of the
