Abstract: A management system capable of preventing a problem from occurring in synchronizing setting data. The setting data is managed by a server, and is alternatively managed by an MFP as an alternative server. The server keeps a first time. The MFP keeps a second time. The MFP corrects the second time using a difference between the first time and the second time. The MFP manages the setting data based on the corrected second time.

Abstract: A server 100 capable of surely synchronizing MFPs 102 and 103. The server 100 writes a first time that the server 101 measures in response to storing of information changed in the MFP 102. When the time that the server 101 measures is changed, a time difference between the time before the change and the time after the change is calculated. A modified first time is acquired by applying the calculated time difference to the written first time when the time that the server 101 measures is changed after the first time has been written. When the modified first time is a time between a time when a previous inquiry was received from the MFP 103 and a time when a current inquiry from the MFP 103 is received, the information indicating the content of the changed information is transmitted to the MFP 103.

Abstract: A method is provided including acquiring imaging data of an object to be imaged from a computed tomography (CT) detector. The method also includes reconstructing the acquired imaging data into an initial reconstruction image, and performing material characterization of an image volume of the initial reconstruction image to provide a re-mapped image volume. Further, the method includes performing forward projection on the re-mapped image volume to provide forward projection data, and providing an error projection based on the forward projection data. Also, the method includes filtering at least one of the initial reconstruction image, the re-mapped image volume, the forward projection data, or the error projection. The method also includes using the error projection to update the initial reconstruction image to provide an updated reconstruction image.

Abstract: In the case where charging by grade in accordance with a plurality of image attributes is performed, it is not possible for a user to identify the image attribute with which printing is performed from the appearance of printed matter that is output. In accordance with a color pixel ratio in image data, an image attribute of the image data is determined and a display unit is controlled to display the determined image attribute and the color pixel ratio.
