    Abstract: A medical image processing apparatus includes the following. A processor is configured to: acquire a medical image obtained by capturing an image of an observation target; detect a region of interest from the medical image; and cause a display to display report information and the medical image, the report information reporting that the region of interest has been detected. A screen displayed on the display has a first region in which the medical image is displayed, and a second region provided outside the first region. The second region is divided into four regions by using line segments passing through a center of the first region, and a detected location of the region of interest is reported by displaying the report information in one of the four regions.

  • Patent number: 11918176
    Abstract: A medical image processing apparatus includes a recognition unit that detects a region of interest from an acquired medical image and classifies the region of interest; a display control unit that causes emphasis display for emphasizing the region of interest and a classification for the region of interest to be displayed in a screen identical to a screen for displaying an observation target included in the medical image; and an observation image switching unit that switches whether to display consecutive images or to display a still image by using a display device. In a case where consecutive image display of an observation image is switched to still image display by the observation image switching unit, the display control unit makes a change for reducing visual recognizability of at least any of the emphasis display or the classification compared with a case of the consecutive image display of the observation image.

  • Patent number: 11605363
    Abstract: A bar is displayed in a second region. Display of the bar starts in a longest state when an undetected state in which a region of interest is not detected transitions to a detected state in which the region of interest is detected, and display in the longest state is maintained until the detected state transitions to the undetected state. When the detected state transitions to the undetected state, the bar is reduced in length over time. When a predetermined time elapses, the length of the bar becomes 0, and the bar disappears. In addition, in a case where the undetected state transitions to the detected state before the bar disappears, the length of the bar returns to the longest.
