  • Publication number: 20220096026
    Abstract: An information processing device including at least one processor, wherein the processor is configured to: acquire a radiographic image captured by irradiating a breast compressed by a compression member with radiation; generate a projection image, which includes guide information serving as a guide in a case in which the breast is compressed and is capable of identifying whether the guide information is related to a right breast or a left breast, on the basis of a shape of the breast in the compressed state indicated by the radiographic image; and control an image projection unit which projects the projection image onto a first projection surface of the compression member such that the projection image is projected onto the first projection surface.

  • Publication number: 20220096025
    Abstract: An information processing device including at least one processor, wherein the processor is configured to: acquire distance information indicating a projection distance, which is a distance from an image projection unit that projects a projection image onto a projection surface of a compression member to the projection surface, in a mammography apparatus that irradiates a breast compressed by the compression member with radiation to capture a radiographic image; and control the image projection unit such that the projection image having a size corresponding to the projection distance indicated by the distance information is projected onto the projection surface in a case in which the image projection unit projects the projection image at a magnification corresponding to the projection distance.

  • Publication number: 20220096032
    Abstract: A control device including: at least one processor that is configured to detect whether or not compression of a breast by a compression member in a mammography apparatus is completed and perform control to direct an image projection unit, which projects a projection image onto a projection surface of the compression member, to stop the projection of the projection image onto the projection surface in a case in which it is detected that the compression is completed.

  • Publication number: 20210068769
    Abstract: Fifteen radiation tubes are arranged in a radiation source of the mammography apparatus. An irradiation field limiter includes a plate-like member having a plurality of through holes that function as irradiation openings. Adjacent through holes are arranged at an interval of one radiation tube. In the plate-like member, the position of the through holes which are irradiation openings are moved to a first set position in a case in which radiation is emitted from first radiation tubes which are some of three or more radiation tubes and a second set position in a case in which the radiation is emitted from second radiation tubes different from the first radiation tubes among the three or more radiation tubes. Therefore, one through hole is shared by two radiation tubes.

  • Publication number: 20200390418
    Abstract: The attachment includes: a holder that has an opening portion provided at a position corresponding to an ultrasonic wave transmitting and receiving surface of the ultrasound probe and is attachably and detachably fixed to the ultrasound probe; and a protruding portion that draws and holds a sheet-shaped acoustic matching member provided between the opening portion and the ultrasound probe in a close contact direction in which the acoustic matching member is brought into close contact with the transmitting and receiving surface.

  • Publication number: 20200375562
    Abstract: A compression plate of a mammography apparatus has an upper surface which is irradiated with radiation, a lower surface which is opposite to the upper surface and comes into contact with the breast, and a surface which is parallel to the upper surface between the upper surface and the lower surface. In the compression plate, a compression plate scale for identifying an in-plane position of each surface is given to any one of the surfaces. A first display control unit of a console performs control to display a radiographic image captured by the mammography apparatus on a display unit. A second display control unit of the console performs control to display an image scale which indicates a position on the radiographic image corresponding to the in-plane position of the compression plate on the radiographic image displayed on the display unit.

  • Publication number: 20200337667
    Abstract: A control device including: a control unit that, in a case in which continuous imaging that irradiates a breast of a subject with radiation emitted from a radiation source to capture a radiographic image in a compressed state in which the breast is compressed against an imaging table by a compression member and then captures an ultrasound image of the breast in the compressed state is performed, performs control to locate the radiation source at a non-facing position where the radiation source and the imaging table do not face each other.
