Abstract: Disclosed is a technology that prevents a part of a touch panel-equipped display displaying an ultrasonic tomographic image from getting dirty with a fingerprint or scratch when using a drag operation to change the content of the ultrasonic tomographic image displayed on the touch panel-equipped display. According to this technology, the display screen is divided into an ultrasonic image area A1 which displays an ultrasonic image P and an operating part display area A2 which displays buttons (Fov, Pos, ROI, and Dop) for selecting a change to be made in the ultrasonic image P. The operating part display area A2 has a touch panel, and when a finger F selectively touches one of the displayed buttons and is dragged, the displayed image P of the ultrasonic image area A1 is changed on the apparatus side according to the selected changes and drag direction.

Abstract: A medical image display apparatus includes: a touch screen that displays a medical image and detects a touch position touched by a user; and a hardware processor that controls to display a marker on the medical image at a position separated from the touch position detected on the touch screen by a separation distance, wherein the hardware processor sets a reference point on the medical image, calculates a rotation angle of the touch position with respect to the reference point as a center, sets a position separated from the touch position by the separation distance in a direction corresponding to the rotation angle as a trace position, and controls to display the marker at the trace position.

Abstract: A diagnostic ultrasound imaging device is connectable to an ultrasound probe which has a piezoelectric element. The diagnostic ultrasound imaging device includes an image generation unit, a display unit, a touch panel and a control unit. The image generation unit generates an ultrasound image on the basis of a reception signal obtained from received reflected ultrasound from a subject. The display unit displays the generated ultrasound image on a display screen. The touch panel detects an operation on the display screen. When the touch panel detects on the displayed ultrasound image an end of a cursor movement operation to move a cursor, the control unit displays near the moved cursor an operation button to activate a predetermined function.

Abstract: An access device 1 internally includes a logical-physical empty capacity management part 16 for obtaining information of a remaining capacity on a write once memory from a write once recording device 2A. In addition, the write once recording device 2A internally includes a physical empty capacity management part 27 for managing a remaining capacity on the write once memory and notifying the access device of the capacity. Prior to recording of file data, the access device 1 can know an accurate remaining capacity of the write once recording device by: obtaining a remaining capacity of the write once memory from the write once recording device 2A; and comparing the capacity with a remaining capacity on an FAT to decide an actually-recordable remaining capacity for file data.
