Patent number: 10741271Abstract: The test device is configured of a device main body and a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal functions as an operation terminal of the device main body, and a browsing terminal for measurement data. The mobile terminal is connected to the device main body through wireless communication. The device main body wirelessly transmits the measurement data to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal notifies the device main body of the reception data size of the measurement data. In the device main body, a determining unit collates the reception data size with the transmission data size of the measurement data and determines whether or not the measurement data is normally transmitted. A notifying unit notifies the mobile terminal of a transmission result showing that non-transmitted data is present.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2018Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: FUJIFILM CorporationInventors: Jumpei Shiraishi, Yasuko Yahiro, Takeshi Yamamoto

Publication number: 20140213895Abstract: Two radiation images are acquired by emitting radiation to a subject from two imaging directions that form a first imaging angle, and two radiation images are acquired imaged from two imaging directions that form a second imaging angle. The radiation images of the first imaging angle are displayed as two-dimensional images while the radiation images of the second imaging angle are displayed as a stereoscopic image. Designation of a predetermined position in the radiation images that are displayed as two-dimensional images is received to obtain position information. The obtained position information in the radiation images of the first imaging angle is projected onto the radiation images of the second imaging angle based on the position information and three-dimensional position information is obtained. Based on the three-dimension position information, markers are displayed on the radiation images of the second imaging angle which are displayed as a stereoscopic image.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2014Publication date: July 31, 2014Applicant: FUJIFILM CORPORATIONInventors: Takao KUWABARA, Yasuko YAHIRO, Yasunori OHTA, Akira HASEGAWA
