In at least one embodiment, diagnosis processing is executed to obtain medical diagnostic information by performing computer processing of data obtained from the object, and the processing method for diagnosis support processing is changed in accordance with the examination history of the object. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100280842 | MEDICAL IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, MEDICAL IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A medical image processing apparatus includes a unit configured to analyze a target medical image a unit configured to register information representing an aptitude of each doctor with respect to interpretation of a specific lesion and a modality used by each doctor, and a unit configured to, when the analysis result includes information associated with a lesion, decide an assigned doctor based on information representing the aptitude of each doctor with respect to interpretation of the specific lesion, and, when the analysis result includes no information associated with a lesion, decide an assigned doctor based on the modality. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20110019882 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - A report concerning the contents obtained by interpretation based on a medical image can be efficiently created without any constraints of expression. An information processing apparatus according to this invention includes an image analysis unit which acquires information concerning a region name or disease name based on an analysis result on the input medical image, an input unit which inputs the result obtained by interpreting the medical image as character information, a conversion candidate prediction unit which outputs conversion candidates concerning the input character information, and a display control unit which displays the input character information upon converting the character information into character information selected from the conversion candidates. The apparatus further includes a priority level setting unit which sets priority levels in advance for character information output as the conversion candidates. | 01-27-2011 |
| 20110080560 | EYE PORTION DIAGNOSIS SUPPORT APPARATUS, METHOD THEREFOR, PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - There is provided a technique for efficiently acquiring a tomogram of an eye portion. A diagnosis support apparatus includes a wide-area image acquisition means for acquiring a wide-area image of an eye portion, a detection means for detecting a lesion candidate on the eye portion by analyzing the wide-area image acquired by the wide-area image acquisition means, a determination means for determining a parameter associated with acquisition of a tomogram of the eye portion, based on a lesion candidate detection result obtained by the detection means, and a tomogram acquisition means for acquiring a tomogram of the eye portion based on the parameter determined by the determination means. | 04-07-2011 |
| 20110137157 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - This invention concerns the acquisition of diagnosis information data effective for diagnosing eye disease independently of the eye state. An image processing apparatus for processing a tomogram of an eye includes a unit configured to determine an eye feature based on the tomogram and thus determine the eye state, a unit configured to detect, from the tomogram, a detection target to be used to calculate diagnosis information data quantitatively representing the determined eye state, and a unit configured to calculate the diagnosis information data using position information of the detection target. In accordance with the eye state, the detection unit changes the detection target or an algorithm to be used to detect the detection target. | 06-09-2011 |
