  • Publication number: 20180237833
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a simple and efficient device for predicting a risk of occurrence of a side effect of irinotecan by analyzing a single nucleotide polymorphism in a region encoding a specific gene. The prediction of the risk of the occurrence of a side effect of irinotecan is assisted by analyzing a single nucleotide polymorphism in a region encoding the APCDD1L gene, the R3HCC1 gene, the OR5112 gene, the MKKS gene, the EDEM3 gene, or the ACOX1 gene which are present on genomic DNA in a biological sample collected from a test subject; or a single nucleotide polymorphism which is in linkage disequilibrium with or genetically linked to the single nucleotide polymorphism, and determining whether the single nucleotide polymorphism is homozygous for a variant type, heterozygous, or homozygous for a wild-type.

  • Patent number: 9697642
    Abstract: In an image processing device, an information processing section performs information processing according to an instruction input by a user. An alpha buffer generating block of an image processing section generates an alpha buffer representing, in an image plane, the alpha value of each pixel when designated objects formed by a plurality of objects are collectively regarded as one object. A rendering block reads each piece of model data from an image data storage section, and renders an image also including other objects than the designated objects. A shading processing block approximately calculates degrees of occlusion of ambient light on the image plane, and subjects the rendered image to shading processing on a basis of a result of the calculation.

  • Patent number: 9466146
    Abstract: In an image processing apparatus, a sensor output data acquisition unit acquires data of layered image information from a sensor group. A slice image generation unit generates data of a two-dimensional image for each slice plane surfaces in which distribution is acquired. An image axis conversion unit generates similar data of a two-dimensional image for a plurality of plane surfaces that are perpendicular to an axis different from a sensor axis. A slice image management unit of a display processing unit manages a slice image that is used for drawing according to the position of a viewpoint or the like. Memory for drawing sequentially stores data of an image necessary for drawing. An additional object image storage unit stores image data of an object that is additionally displayed such as a cursor or the like. An image drawing unit draws a three-dimensional object using data of the slice image.
