Abstract: An image acquisition unit acquires a brain image of a subject. A cisternal region extraction unit extracts a cisternal region from the brain image by performing registration between a standard brain image and the brain image. Then, a bleeding region specifying unit specifies a bleeding region based on a first signal value distribution, which is the signal value distribution of the cisternal region extracted from the brain image, and a second signal value distribution, which is the signal value distribution of a cisternal region of the standard brain image.

Abstract: The conversion apparatus includes a selection section that selects a category of a term used for a report of a medical image; and a conversion section that converts an input term of the report to the term of the category selected by the selection section, with reference to a conversion table in which terms of plural types of the categories are associated with each other.

Abstract: Finding acquisition means acquires finding data including disease information regarding a brain disease of a target patient and diseased part information regarding a diseased part where the brain disease has occurred. Similar case search means searches for case data similar to the finding data of the target patient as similar case data. Information output means acquires an appropriate range of vital sign data from the similar case data, and outputs information regarding the goal of vital sign data of the target patient.

Abstract: An image acquisition unit acquires a brain image of a subject. A non-bleeding region specifying unit specifies a non-bleeding region in the brain image, and a selection unit selects a standard brain image corresponding to at least one of the shape or the size of the non-bleeding region from a plurality of standard brain images. Then, a division unit divides the brain included in the brain image into regions based on the selected standard brain image.

Abstract: A fault diagnosis apparatus acquires, by using an acquisition unit, for each of a plurality of medical devices, installation environment information including a plurality of items about an installation environment in which each of the plurality of medical devices is installed; classifies, by using a classification unit, the plurality of medical devices into a plurality of groups on the basis of the installation environment information; extracts, by using an extraction unit, an item in the installation environment information representing a feature of a group to which a device in which a fault has occurred among the plurality of medical devices belongs, the feature being different from that of the other groups; and performs control, by using a display control unit, to cause a display unit to display an extraction result obtained by the extraction unit.

Abstract: Disclosed is a composition for removing a photoresist which contains a reaction product of a primary or secondary organic amine having a hydroxyl group with an ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, ?-butylolactone, 1,3-dihydroxy-2-propanone, or a monovalent or divalent carboxylic acid, if necessary an organic amine, and a water-soluble organic solvent and/or water. This composition is capable of removing a photoresist with high performance and preventing corrosion of a metal wiring material. By using such a composition, there occurs no problem such that impurities precipitate and adhere to the substrate or the like during water rinsing after removal.
