  • Patent number: 10646182
    Abstract: An object is to accurately calculate an index indicating a probability of an event occurring to a patient in the future. A mortality risk calculation unit acquires a heart/mediastinum ratio (H/M ratio), obtained by administering a heart function diagnostic medicine to a first subject, from subject data stored in a subject data storage unit, and calculates an index indicating a probability of a predetermined event occurring to the first subject by substituting the H/M ratio acquired from the subject data storage unit into a function defined in accordance with a history of occurrences of the predetermined event to a plurality of second subjects.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 25, 2014
    Date of Patent: May 12, 2020
    Assignee: Fujifilm RI Pharma Co., Ltd.
    Inventors: Kenichi Nakajima, Yumiko Kirihara
  • Patent number: 10098608
    Abstract: An object is to more accurately compare diagnosis indexes with each other, which are calculated from data obtained in different environments with a cardiac-function diagnostic medicine. A conversion function calculation unit acquires a first phantom Heart/Mediastinum ratio (H/M ratio) and a second phantom H/M ratio based on a phantom, the first phantom H/M ratio that is an H/M ratio of the phantom in the first imaging environment being acquired by performing, based on phantom data that is data of a first phantom image obtained by imaging the phantom in the first imaging environment and digital phantom data that is data of a digital phantom including a cardiac ROI and a mediastinum ROI, positioning of the digital phantom on the first phantom image, and by calculating based on the phantom data of the first phantom image to which the cardiac ROI and the mediastinum ROI are set; and obtains a conversion function based on the first phantom H/M ratio and the second phantom H/M ratio.
