  • Medical image diagnosis apparatus, medical image processing apparatus, and medical image processing method
    Patent number: 9292919
    Abstract: A medical image diagnosis apparatus of an embodiment includes: an image generation unit configured to generate a first image which is an original image, from a medical image taken by a medical imaging unit; an image conversion unit configured to process the first image to output a second image where a color tone of a predetermined region in the first image is kept and a color tone of a region other than the predetermined region is converted; and an image output unit configured to supply the second image to an output apparatus.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 21, 2014
    Date of Patent: March 22, 2016

  • Apparatus which displays medical trend graph and related information
    Patent number: 8002707
    Abstract: An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus including an ultrasound probe, an image processor, a measurement processor, a graph processor, and a display. The ultrasound probe includes a plurality of piezoelectric transducers and is configured to insonify and receive an echo signal resulting from the insonification. The image processor is coupled to the ultrasound probe and is configured to prepare image data based on the echo signal. The measurement processor is coupled to the image processor and is configured to conduct a measurement on the image data with respect to a predetermined parameter. The graph processor is coupled to the measurement processor and is configured to prepare a trend graph based on the measurement when the insonification and the image preparation are conducted more than one time. The display is coupled to the graph processor and is configured to display the trend graph with related information in a time phase on the trend graph.
