  • Patent number: 12243127
    Abstract: A medical image processing method includes obtaining a first set of projection data by performing, with a first CT apparatus including a first detector with a first pixel size, a first CT scan of an object in a first imaging region of the first detector; obtaining a first CT image with a first resolution by reconstructing the first set of projection data; obtaining a processed CT image with a resolution higher than the first resolution by applying a machine-learning model for resolution enhancement to the first CT image; and displaying the processed CT image or outputting the processed CT image for analysis. The machine-learning model is obtained by training using a second CT image based on a second set of projection data acquired by a second CT scan of the object in a second imaging region with a second CT apparatus including a second detector with a second pixel size.

  • Publication number: 20250054207
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a medical image processing apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry acquires first projection data obtained by non-contrast scanning on a first region of a subject, and second projection data obtained by contrast scanning on the first region. The processing circuitry extracts third projection data corresponding to a second region in the first region from the second projection data. The processing circuitry reconstructs a first image based on the first projection data, a second image based on the second projection data, and a third image based on a difference between the first projection data and the third projection data. The processing circuitry derives the second image from the first projection data and the third projection data, using a model trained with training data in which the first image and the third image are input data and the second image is correct answer data.

  • Publication number: 20250022952
    Abstract: The trench structure part includes a field plate electrode, a first insulating film, a second insulating film, the second insulating film extending to be more proximate to the first surface than the first insulating film, a gate electrode including a first portion located on the second insulating film, and a second portion located on the first insulating film, the second portion being thicker than the first portion, and a third insulating film. The gate contact part extends from the gate wiring layer toward the second portion and contacts the second portion. The gate contact part is not positioned between the first portion and the gate wiring layer. The first portion is positioned adjacent, in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, to a lower end portion of the gate contact part contacting the second portion.

  • Publication number: 20230404514
    Abstract: A medical data processing method according to an embodiment includes: outputting second spectral data by inputting first spectral data related to an examined subject imaged by a spectral medical imaging apparatus to a trained model configured to generate, on the basis of the first spectral data, the second spectral data having less noise than the first spectral data and a higher resolution than the first spectral data. The first spectral data in the medical data processing method according to the embodiment corresponds to medical data obtained by performing a spectral scan on the examined subject. The trained model in the medical data processing method according to the embodiment is configured to perform a noise reducing process and a super-resolution process on the first spectral data.

  • Patent number: 11374505
    Abstract: An inverter performs a power conversion operation for converting DC power into AC power, includes an arithmetic control device provided with a voltage command signal generation unit, a synthesis processing unit, and a carrier wave comparison unit. The voltage command signal generation unit has a plurality of control systems, and outputs the first voltage command signal generated based on the first control system among the plurality of control systems, and the second voltage command signal generated based on the second control system different from the first control system among the plurality of control systems. The synthesis processing unit generates a synthesized voltage command signal obtained by synthesizing the first voltage command signal and the second voltage command signal at a predetermined ratio. The carrier wave comparison unit generates a PWM signal which is a gate drive signal for controlling the power conversion operation based on the synthesized voltage command signal.
