  • Patent number: 11839501
    Abstract: An image generating device for generating an image which is an X-ray image of an area including a bone portion of a subject with the bone portion removed has a control unit 70 including: a DRR imager 81 configured to generate a first DRR image of an area including a bone portion and a second DRR image showing the bone portion, by performing, for a set of CT image data of an area including the bone portion of a subject, a virtual fluoroscopic projection simulating a geometric fluoroscopy condition of an X-ray irradiator and an X-ray detector for the subject; a training section 82 configured to generate a machine learning model for recognizing the bone portion, by performing machine learning using the first DRR image and the second DRR image serving as a training image; an image converter 83 configured to perform conversion of the X-ray image of the area including the bone portion of the subject, using the machine learning model trained in the training section 82, to generate an image showing the bone portion;

  • Patent number: 11830195
    Abstract: A training label image correction method includes performing a segmentation process on an input image (11) of training data (10) by a trained model (1) using the training data to create a determination label image (14), comparing labels of corresponding portions in the determination label image (14) and a training label image (12) with each other, and correcting label areas (13) included in the training label image based on label comparison results.

  • Publication number: 20230097849
    Abstract: In a creation method of a trained model, a reconstructed image (60) obtained by reconstructing three-dimensional X-ray image data (80) is generated. A projection image (61) is generated from a three-dimensional model of an image element (50) by a simulation. The projection image is superimposed on the reconstructed image to generate a superimposed image (67). A trained model (40) is created by performing machine learning using the superimposed image, and the reconstructed image or the projection image.

  • Patent number: 11224763
    Abstract: A control part 30 includes: a DRR image creation part 31 that creates a DRR image including a specific site; a specific site projection part 32 that creates a projection region image representing the region of the specific site; a discriminator learning part 33 that learns a discriminator for recognizing the region of the specific site by performing machine learning with use of the DRR image and the projection region image as a training label image; a specific site region detection part 34 that detects the region of the specific site by performing discrimination using the discriminator learned by the discriminator learning part 33 on an X-ray fluoroscopic image including the specific site; and a radiation signal generation part 35 that transmits a treatment beam radiation signal to an irradiation device 90 when the region of the specific site detected by the specific site region detection part 34 is included in the radiation region of a treatment beam.

  • Publication number: 20210358129
    Abstract: A full-size training image is reduced by an image reduction unit (11) and input to an FCN (Fully Convolutional Neural Network) computation unit (13), and the FCN computation unit (13) performs calculation under a set filter coefficient and outputs a reduced label image. The reduced label image is enlarged to a full size by an image enlargement unit (14), the error calculation unit (15) calculates an error between the enlarged label image and a full-size ground truth based on a loss function, and the parameter update unit (16) updates a filter coefficient depending on the error. By repeating learning under the control of the learning control unit 17, it is possible to generate a learning model for performing optimal segmentation including an error generated at the time of image enlargement. Further, by including the image enlargement processing in the learning model, a full-size label image can be output, and the accuracy evaluation of the model can also be performed with high accuracy.
